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'm upgrading from a 5DII to the R, but if I were currently doing a 5DIV, no way I would trade out. To me, the 5DIV and the R are either/or cameras, in that you'd buy one or the other, not a situation where you'd trade one in to get the other.
