Re: Biggest challenges with R5 (to 5D line previous owners)

Hope to be able to reply soon, as I will be transitioning from a 5DsR to the R5 and am also primarily a landscape shooter. Lots to like about the camera on paper. I am assuming I will have an adjustment period to get used to the EVF but hoping that will not turn out to be a big issue. I am not anticipating any issues form perhaps carrying more batteries. And I suppose if I start to dabble more seriously in wildlife, I may have another family of lens types to start lusting after too

Unfortunately my camera is scheduled to ship out to me around the end of September, but if your post is still available then, or you want to drop me a PM with some way to get back to you, I can give you my feelings as a scenic shooter transitioning to the R5 once I have my camera for a bit.
