I Plan To Wait For Better-Spec’ed R
3

If I get any R model, it will need to have more features than the present R, which would be a significant step-downward/backward from my 5D IV/5Ds R/7D II/1Ds III. An important feature would be a physical toggle/joystick, to expediently move te AF point. Touchscreens are wonderful, but that on the R seems “laggy,” according to the DPR team, and my aging, sometimes-aching thumbs need gloves in cool/cold weather. I consider a physical toggle/joystick to be NECESSARY.

I could have some fun with an EOS R, for casual snapshots, but I do not see anything worth buying, at this point.

I wore a police badge and pistol, and made evidentiary images at night, incorporating elements of portrait, macro, still life, landscape, architecture, and PJ. (Retired January 2018.) I enjoy using Canon and Nikon gear.
