I certainly agree with your last paragraph. I hope Canon really ups their game on the next R user interface. The R seems like it could be a very nice camera for me if it had more of a conventional control layout/user interface. Every time I have tried the R so far I have walked away quite frustrated. If this sort of ergonomics is the future of photography then I might have to find another activity to occupy my time as this R doesn't make photography fun for me at all.

Realy ? i have great fun using the Eos R.

maybe for me its easier to adapt to new innovations .

I didn't have to read the 6D manual. I picked it up and found everything pretty much where it was on the 60D. Simple.

I tried the same thing with the R, and I could actually take a picture. However, a lot was different in terms of button and dial placement and use, and a lot was new.

I ended up having to read the manual. After that, it was easy and fun to use. But it is a really new camera.

I don't shoot every day. I am not a speed shooter. Sometimes I take both cameras out for the sole purpose of taking pictures. Most of those times are real estate shoots, which take 30 minutes. Some are recreational shoots which last as long as the light, typically a couple of hours, or until I decide to do something else. But most of the time, I have something else to do while I'm taking pictures. If my life was more focused on photography, I might have a harder time adjusting.

You are right, but isn’t part off the fun
Learning new stuff?
I think the learning procces is fun too

light is the source of all life.....

That is really the attitude to have...enjoy the journey of learning.  I too find the R enjoyable to use.  But all mirrorless cameras are an adjustment, because they operate in many ways fundamentally different than DSLR's.  The DSLR is a kind of hybrid between old school film cameras and modern day computers.  MILC's are closer to just being the computer.

And yes, I would advise anyone new to mirrorless, regardless of brand, to give it a bit of time to learn before passing judgement.  We all can learn if we just persist.
