You can say that again.  :-)

I'm not especially sensitive to rudeness, Sue Anne, so don't know if it was my "glasses" comment that you found rude. Rest assured it was meant to be humorous rather than insulting.

Reminds me of when I eat a meal without wearing my glasses.  So far I haven't missed my mouth.

As am I.  There's no reason to hurry.

Thanks, Clyde.

Initial reviews (three samples below) discuss the EVF, and it sounds promising. I look forward to hearing opinions from actual customers. Soon enough. I'll be patient. https://www.dpreview.com/revi ...

I understand. I usually take a zoom to zoos. I took an Alaska cruise this summer, and there were times that I would have been very happy to have 600mm. Hope you get to enjoy multiple trips there. T ...

I SHOULD HAVE ASKED THE QUESTION DIFFERENTLY. Take 2:  For those who have been dissatisfied with or skeptical of EVFs, how have you found the performance of the R3's?

I do. I also know a fair number of people with tele zooms do the majority of their shooting with them at the lens's maximum focal length.  Canon does appear to be making an effort to produce ...

Thoughts on its having an EVF?

At what task did the 600mm f/11 fail?
