Thanks so much CFB, for your kindness in being happy for my week of annual leave (which started a few hours ago).
Genuinely appreciated!
Yes, I definitely plan on taking some more annual leave when I purchase the R5 (though that could be a bit of time away, depending on budget, availability, etc.)
My plan at this stage is to wait till sufficient number of reviews (by both pros and users) indicate what the camera is like
Though I expect that the full announcement of the R5 will give me a strong indication of how likely it is I will buy it. (So far I'm sitting at about 80% sure).
As I have over 30 days of annual leave (and close to 100 days of long service leave) - plus a few days of overtime, I will have plenty of opportunity to take leave when I need to (for the camera, but more importantly to visit my interstate family in some months time, when it works out best for all of us).
The great thing is that I have quite some good EF and EF-S glass that will be compatible with the R5, so getting an EF-RF adapter is a plan (or maybe two in the future). I can see me getting the RF 24-105mm f/4 L as my walk around, and potentially the RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L and the RF 100-500mm L further down the path. Too many options, (too little money... lol!)
What are your R5 / and/or future Canon gear plans, if any?
Cheers
PJ
