I wonder if attitudes have changed now that we’ve seen the first mirrorless FF from Canon and it doesn’t have an EF mount

Mine did.

I was a big content DSLR luddite.   Several factors about the R convinced me to add it.

Better AF with my existing lenses.

AF in even lower light.

Insane lens designs, not for ones I wanted, but they showed the potential.

The control ring on the lenses and an adapter.

Complaints that it was too big for a mirror less.   I like big.   That's why I had planned to stay with DSLR.

Once I got it, I really liked EVF for less than ideal lighting conditions.    OVF is better in ideal lighting conditions.   I liked the customization options.    And I liked the touch screen for AF point selection.  It's a good camera.
