I have seen some nice work with the R. It appears that you need to use it within its parameters. Most say it is not really a sports/action camera but does many other things well.

It was a dog doing landscapes too. I never expected it to be much good for wildlife, but it was amazingly unreliable doing landscapes too. And the ergonomics were dreadful. Worst Canon camera since ... well, worst I have ever known, and I've owned a lot of them.

Given some of the photos I have seen from the R, that surprises me that it was not good for landscapes.  I have heard that the ergonomics were so so.
