I really like the R
14

I avoided this camera because of the single card slot. I also read many of the mediocre reviews and thought I wouldn't get much use out of this camera so I didn't buy it. Well the price recently came down and I also want to purchase the R5. I finally bought the R on 05/20/2020 and began using it right away. I wanted to make sure I was familiar with it's operation before the R5 comes out. This will become a backup in the future.

Had a couple learning curve issues with the autofocus options and getting familiar with the buttons and dials. It just works. Menus are easy. I jumped right in to the R and haven't looked back. I'm seeing my 5DIV sitting on the shelf getting some much needed rest. Cannot wait to see what the R5 brings to the table.

I have no idea what I’m doing.
