With respect, I had several Canon cameras over the years and I'm not a Nikon f@nboy, hence I'm still trying to follow what other brands are offering - but I'd rather use an "obsolete" camera with better lenses than a fancy one with cr@p lenses. The RF 24-50 - judging by the photos posted in the R8 samples is cr@p, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I got much better results with my EOS M5+18-150 kit.

The "obsolete" Z5 still great pictures with fantastic image quality, only the AF which is way behind Canon's offerings, but that's not a problem for me, as I usually take boring cityscapes/landscapes. Anyways, I don't get why you felt the need to mention the Z5, since I was not criticizing Canon products in general...actually I like Canon a lot and I consider their products awesome.

But tell me, what's the point of using a great ff camera with a cheapo lens mounted on it? You lose all the benefits of the bigger sensor.
