Interesting blog https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/201...orless-camera/ probably very wise not risking any rain on the R

Re: The Canon eosR unboxed
Have been playing with mine and see that it came set with a 2 second image preview after shooting, which appears on either the back screen or the viewfinder - and it still tries to do this when you are trying to fire off a high speed sequence of shots, which means you can't see what you are aiming at. Have to say that I am finding my way round it fairly quickly, which is good, though struggled with the instructions for the WiFi upload of files to PC - which was critical as the lead provided didn't have PC sized USB plug, but something very small, and the socket on the camera is apparently so vulnerable that they provided a weird gadget to screw on to make sure you don'e strain the connector. Liking it though, but next step is to see if I can program the new menu bar - thinking it might be useful to have it set for explosure compensation as I like to shoot in manual mode with auto ISO.

High speed seems pretty slow to me, must do some timing tests and compare with my 70D. I wonder if saving as CRAW slows it compared to RAW, could be it is wasting CPU cycles doing compression? From some shots I took today max I got timestamped in same second was 4 frames, but was more concerned with playing with the autofocus tracking a flock of seagulls, so not a proper test.
Having failed to setup new M-Fn bar to offer exposure compensation when shooting, tried to set it up in review mode to zoom in or out on the images - and that has eluded me too.
Got some good shots today, but waiting for Sigma 100-400 EF lens, so struggling with ghastly old kit lens as the only EF lens in my collection - and with grey overcast weather I really miss having IS.
