Re: I'm in for the R50... Rationale?

Having owned both the M50 and RP, I went for the R8 as a 2nd body.

On the M50 I hated all the styling that was supposed to make it look ‘professional’ but just made it more expensive. Tiny, distorting EVF, a cramp inducing grip, d-pad that looked like a scroll wheel but wasn’t. But it performed well, it was a testbed for all the features we’d see in the R.

But the EVF infuriated me, it wasted so much space for something so bad.

So having to pick between a camera that is bigger than I ‘d like (M6II FTW!), I’m going to pick a camera that makes good use of the extra bulk. Which for me is the R8.
