Re: Can't turn off Live View

With respect, I find that you set a very low bar for what is a passable camera.

The reality is that industry and market expectations increase every year.

When seatbelts were introduced, they were an amazing feature. Now car manufacturers are obliged to include seatbelts if they wish to stay in the market. Every year in nearly every market, what was premium becomes obligatory, and manufacturers must innovate to be able to offer premium features.

Regarding cameras, any digital camera from the past 10 years would be deemed magical versus a camera from 100 years ago, therefore saying a one star review camera is only something that can't focus seems a bit sloppy and pointless.

Regardless, I stand by my rating. The R6 is unuseable to me as is, because I would rather use my 5d4. It will be sold and I will lose some money on it. Probably would have kept it if it had 'option 6', while I wait for the R5II to release and /or drop to a price I can afford.

Anyone deciding to take the mick, might consider that R5 users managed to get this added in firmware, and that there is no reason it shouldn't be ported to the R6 as an option.
