    I think the difference is that with a mirrorless camera the sensor is always on so say you were out shooting for a day it could be 'on' for several hours?? I'll be interested to see more real world reviews now they're being shipped before i make my mind up & take the plunge!

      Re: eosR pre orders

      Here is an instant article on low light and the EOS-R...
      Canon Ambassador Daniel Etter tests the Canon full-frame mirrorless EOS R system to its low-light limits in the depths of a Romanian coal mine.

      It is by Canon so you could argue it is not impartial, but looks promising when considered with other data.

        Thanks for that - looks very promising ...

            It doesn’t work that way. Battery life on a mirrorless camera is so poor, with the exception of the newer Sony kit, that people turn them off when not in use. Even my Fuji only does 250 or so shots to a battery so its tuned on, the shot taken, then turned off...

              Ah, OK. Hadn't thought about that. I wonder if you can set it to go off after say a minute of non-use like with a dslr? Or would the sensor still be on...

                Sorry, should have said. Yes, like a DSLR they all have auto power off. Mine is set to two minutes...

                    Something I've heard mention is noise with long exposures of several minutes as I understand mirrorless sensors are always on so prone to generating more heat so therefore noise?

                    Must admit i'm seriously considering getting an EOS R ;)
                    We are out on holiday and I took the EOS R with me with the Sigma 8mm Fish-eye and the EFR 24-105. My plan is to do some long exposure with the camera, however if it is like the M5, I'm not expecting noise, but will let you know.

                      I’ve found the auto shut off seems to work really well and hardly affects battery life at least for the day I tried it

                        Re: eosR pre orders

                        Sad to say I’m waiting for a replacement of my eosR. I took it into WEX Edinburgh because the MF Touch Bar wasn’t working. This was confirmed in store and they offered an exchange. However the first batch had sold out so I need to wait for the next delivery.
                        Anyone else had an issue with their camera ?
