I don't have a problem with the size, but like everyone else said, I wish Canon had not "dumbed" it down so much - no grip accessory, fewer dials and buttons than the R6 and better, small buffer at uncompressed RAW. Overall I enjoy the camera more than I thought I would, but I think Canon misread the room when it decided who the target was. I would have gladly paid $500 more for the above and I don't think I'm alone. Now we just have to wait 3 or so years for Mk II and hope Canon gives it a serious upgrade.

I don't think Canon " misread" the market, instead, it was carefully chosen, it's called product differentiation, Canon is expert in this, that tell me a more pro level APS-C is coming, they know some people just can't stand not having those " extra" and will jump on the high end version even they have to pay more, I know I will get one right away if they put a stacked APS-C in a R5 body, while those more cost sensitive buyer will just buy the R7 and R10, so they can capture all different levels of customers.

If I don't already own tons of Canon and Nikon lenses and if Fuji has the specific telephoto I want, I would jump on the X-H2 today, I played with one and that is a such fantastic camera. every bit as good as my old D500 but offers a lot more. I know there is absolutely no hope to see a APS-C R3 style body but please at least give us a APS-C R5, my credit card is always ready for such camera.
