Thanks Sittatunga, I had read that there was no CODEC for CR3 files but am happy if that was outdated info from 2019!

Do you know if EOS Utility 3 would work with files from a card reader?

I use Windows 10 but it doesn't recognize the .cr3 files when card is inserted in to my Lexar card reader....it sees the folders but the folders are empty. I was able to use Lightroom however.

Just recv'd my EOS R from Canon Canada and it was not up to date - it had firmware version 1.4.0.

How do you load them? I can't even get Windows 10 to 'see' the files on my card when it is in my card reader. It recognizes the card and sees the folders but they are empty.

Just bought a EOS R and I too struggled loading the files to my PC - wasn't sure if it was the old Lexar card reader not compatible with these new SDXC cards or an issue with UH1 and UH2. Then I ...

No

It's only a matter of time until Magic lantern creates an intervalometer for the EOS R....I use one on my 5D III https://www.dpreview.com/news/2269209875/magic-lantern-starts-work-on-way-to-enhance ...

...can you dial in exposure times greater than the traditional 30 seconds?

I have no idea what the market will bear in these uncertain economic times...Canon will lower price when demand for the higher initial price dies off.

This camera looks really amazing on paper. If it is that good I will be selling my cottage, motorcycle and one of my child's kidneys to grab one of those.

or suck it up and buy the EOS R

Supply and demand still enters in to it here. I doubt they have warehouses and warehouses of these ready to sell. They have a pent up demand of people who WILL pay $5000+ for one and why would ...

Agree......I suspect it will be within reach of many others though. IMHO Canon will sell it to those people first and then after a few months when the $5000+ demand has evaporated they will bring ...

Maybe Magic Lantern will come to the rescue....I absolutely LOVE Magic Lantern and it's valometer on my 5DIII

I see endless squabbling here about the imagined initial release price of the R5. Many are arguing that a price point beyond $x is unsustainable and will not be borne by the market. Keep in mind ...

sadly I doubt there will be any. ...the lack of a mirror allows lenses to be used with a smaller flange distance which means better optics. A new mount was needed and they have increased the number...

I suspect the 5R will carry the same price increase premium over it's 5D brethren that the RF mount lenses have over their EF counterparts.

I don't....The 5D series were EF mounts. I expect the R5 to have the same hefty premium that RF lenses charge over the EF lenses.

Personally IMO the 'we are playing the long game' is marketing BS. The company decided to invest, develop and innovate in a new more lucrative space: their new cinema line,at the expense of the...
