  1. Steve- really curious what your opinion will be on this. I really think Canon got this better than people initially thought. The new lenses seem amazing. I love my M10, but i’m ready to pitch my Nikon D500 and switch the this for my second camera

  3. Most who have one seem to really enjoy it. These days, and I have been guilty of it as well over the years, many reviewers nitpick small things and some go overboard for views on videos and page hits on websites. While the R is not for 4K shooters (the silly crop for me is a 4K dealbreaker) I see it as a great option for those who want a mirrorless and own canon glass (as I do) and take photos or shoot in HD 1080 (as I do). Yep it lacks in body IS but so does the $7000 Leica M10. So does the wonderful Fuji X-T3. So does the film camera I shot 15 years ago. The Sony has in body IS but Sony shooters know it is not really effective for video, at all. I have gobs of shaky A7RII video using wide angle lenses. Anyway, my R has arrived that I preordered so will get to shooting it this weekend with the 24-105 and my three EF lenses. If it works for what I do (low light clubs, HD video, and some vlogging) then I will be happy. I will have a first look soon!

  4. I’ve been using canon and Sony for years and I just got this fella Tuesday and I really like it. I really hope people can look past the lack of specs and realize how solid of a camera this is. I’m real stoked to see Leica and legacy glass on this camera.

  6. Hey Ryan. Yea, I pre ordered one a while ago and it gets here tomorrow. So I will be testing it out with the 24-105 and a couple older lenses.

  7. Thanks. I like from samples the color and high iso’s of this Canon over other Canons. Can’t wait to see what Zeiss or Leica glass looks on it.
