Had the 5d4. Went to the R with a top lcd. Never used it on the R. All that info is in the viewfinder.

now I’m using R6ii. Don’t miss the top lcd at all.

As I shoot a lot of fast-paced action, I like glancing at the R5’s top LCD as I’m bringing the camera up to my eye. That way I don’t have to pause to check settings once I have the camera in shooting position. Instead I can get off snap shots much more quickly this way (important in my line of work).

I have the R6ii also, and do miss that function (and the R5’s electronic shooting mode “button” as well), but can live without them of course. I liken it to having a Head Up display in the car. Really nice to have, but not necessary in order to drive the car!
