I also love the three position on-off switch. I guess that really shows that ergonomics are very personal. Jordan Drake didn't seem to like either of those things. But then he is pretty much a video-centric guy. I'm approaching this camera from the point of view of a photographer, who pretty much ignores the video side of things.

I find it odd. I deeply dislike the three-position on-off switch exactly because I don't do video. If you're switching the camera on in a hurry you're very likely to flip the switch to video…

Seems a like it or dislike it 50:50 - hopefully better than the 95:5 dislike ratio on the R's touchbar!  Chris in dpreview was OK with it.

Main issue I have is Canon is that its so different an approach from other Canon's - if one only owns R7's then I'm sure its great.
