Nice. Thanks. I noticed the same thing about the keeper rates with the EOS R
I’m a small in-home breeder of multigeneration Australian Labradoodle puppies and do my own photography.
Puppies and dogs on the run and action shots can be challenging as there is no predicting which direction they will go in next. The slideshow effect of the R evf doesn’t help So, I switched back to the 5d4. I was surprised to find that I got more keepers with the R even though I was shooting fewer images.
To me, this is counterintuitive, but it works.
The more time I spend with the R, the more I like it. The R just keeps surprising me with what it can do.

Do you have an RF lens? If so would you care to do a little test and report back?
Apparently there is an option for high speed shooting when you have an RF lens mounted (it is greyed out with non-RF lenses). Supposedly this allows for live view update rather than stop motion. I had not had the chance to try it out myself, but perhaps you can on dogs. These days it is dark when I get to work and dark when I leave, so I don't exactly have the chance to test it myself.
The setting can be found in menu -> camera - tab 6 (last entry on the list).
Lawny, I have the RF 35 which doesn’t work well for dogs running. However, I did give it a try. I just panned around the room while holding the shutter button down at 1/1000 ss. The High speed display was smoother than without it. You could still see some stutter.
Joe
What lens did you use shooting dogs and got good keeper rate? RF 35 focuses slower or is it just the short focal length? I would think 135L works fine with R but if someone has something else to tell, I'd like to hear!
I’m using the 100-400 ii for longer action which focuses quickly and the 24 - 70 2.8 ii for closer work with moving puppies. It focuses really fast.
Disappointingly, my 70-200 2.8 ii doesn’t focus as quickly as those lenses or as quickly as it does on the 5d4.
Joe
Really? That's surprising 70-200 2.8 ii focuses slower with R. I have that lens too, yes it's great, but I use it only "when I really have to". It's so damn big and heavy. I prefer to use 135L or even 85mm if I can do it with prime. I tried to adapt 70-200 2.8 ii to my M50, and it was very front heavy (as expected), so I think I wouldn't use that lens much with R anyway...
