You can laugh all you want.

What most of us are laughing the most at is that your claim that it's caused you to take "rubbish photos".  If it was the AF not working correctly, or a defective sensor it would have been credible.

But Canon could have easily added this option in firmware, when it did so for the R5, in the exact way I am describing.

Instead of clamouring for the correct solution, you are all too busy affirming your camera selection.

Even my little Ricoh GR2 could be made to work without a screen, so you could just look through an optical viewfinder if you want and take pictures without being distracted. I didn't need to cover up the LCD to get the job done, so it was of course able to show image review when I was ready. Ricoh understands photographers the way Leica does, and has managed to get many Leica users on board who appreciate the aesthetics/nice process of such photography.

Of course the R6 is capable, but low scoring reviews can help purchasers and camera development far more than normal ones imo.

How many of you would be inconvenienced if Canon added option 6 to the info screen options? None.

I am not alone in finding this an annoyance.

But you are the only one that's blamed it on your poor photos.
