How many decades exactly?
Let me introduce you to the 1DX Mark III, the new EOS 1V.

One out of a thousand is generous. The "one" that Harry is talking credit for was actually by a designated hitter (Northlight) and all he did was re-post it.
Somebody drinking such a cheap and disgusting Cognac imitation like Asbach Uralt urgently needs professional help!
This stuff is usually drunk in Germany by drop-outs, age over 80....
Came here for thisCanon is DOOOOOOOMED !!!!! I tell you! Doooooooooooooooomed !!!!!!!!!!!!
The CRUEL NATURE of this is something I cannot speak about as of yet.... but I can tell that a NEW company now has 100 reasons compared to Canon's 93! Guess what Canon! Sometimes the 1000 pound Gorilla SMACKS EVERYONE and TRULY -- TRULY --- demonstrates with monstrous proof that he IS King of the Beasts!
Oooooh BOOOY !!!!! OUCH! This is gonna hurt! You're going to be KILLED on still image and video quality, feature set, price AND QUALITY OF BOTH body and lenses! And on the lenses, they will be EXCEEDING Zeiss Quality at in-between Xeen and Sigma Prices! And wait until you see the "Mobile Devices!"
YOU'RE DEAD IN THE WATER !!!

Since I’ve never had a camera with a joystick to move focus points around, I wonder about the following: In the time you move the focus point around with a joystick, couldn’t you just focus manually?
Yes if you move the selected point across several of the available points, but the real advantage is that it will then maintain and track focus which is very unreliable with modern viewfinders and minimal focus throw.. That is why I have only cross type AF points selectable (they are much more precise) and I have scroll through so going from extreme left to right is one move not half a dozen.
After playing with the R for a short time I can see how the control ring can be advantageous. I have it for manual shooting on ISO but thought how handy it could be for one of the AF point movements. I have yet to become a fan of the thumb on the 1DX2 joystick. And when I'm top centre and need to move far left it hangs up on the edge of top centre and requires you to move it down and then left. Surely Canon knows if you're pressing to go left that that's what you want to happen. Having the whole AF area is sure nice with the R.

My favorite setting on the older 45 point AF 1 series cameras was 9 or 15 points that was selected in a rotation pattern via the rear thumb wheel, very fast and efficient, much quicker than the single joystick especially in portrait mode. And faster than the stepping from top/bottom to middle rows now.After playing with the R for a short time I can see how the control ring can be advantageous.

Many of my companions carried over 120 lbs of gear for that same distance! Humans are POWERFUL creatures well adapted for long distance on-ground travel and CAN EASILY take a lot of punishment if well-trained.
Guess you are speaking of some eighty year old recluse living in a dark corner of the Black Forest, sorry, but nobody in Germany drinks that booze anymore...it's $45 a bottle for Abach Uralt here and $150+ a bottle for the Cognacs, To me I usually drink the Asbach Uralt brandy straight over ice OR add it into my espresso-style coffees AND I marinate my T-Bone steaks in it overnight before I put them on the gas BBQ !!! Tastes GREAT !!!! and is a heck of a lot CHEAPER than French Cognac!

It's a FAVOURITE straight drink and coffee/tea additive in southern Germany (i.e. Bavaria) so don't insult the locals with your comment!

As a fit hiker, over6 feet tall and strong, I can handle 90 pounds portaging a canoe and pack for about two kilometres, and at the end I am very happy to put it down! When backpacking the limit drops to 30 pounds. Anything more is poor planning.Repeated army research around the World has found the maximum sustainable load for an infantryman on the march to be about 20kg / 45lbs. Fit soldiers, well-trained and disciplined. A bunch of untrained civvies can manage about half that.
Beyond that point the energy expended to carry additional weight exceeds the benefits of the load.
If your team members were carrying 120lb then something went very badly wrong in planning and I'd stay well away from that group in the future. The British Marines and Para ended-up individually carrying that weight across the Falkland Islands because their helicopter support was sunk by Exocets. They suffered a lot of injuries as a result particularly on rough terrain masked by grass.
[sarcasm]Your knowledge of cameras is only exceeded by your knowledge of hiking.[/sarcasm]Nope! No Helicopter at the time. But it was an on-ground assignment and old Sony BV-series SP/DigiBeta cameras are DAMN HEAVY and at the time used NiCad which accounted for most of the weight. And sand doesn't take human footsteps well which exhausts you after a while AND it's HOT in the desert! 35+ C! -- The amount of water you have to carry is astounding but even 75+ LBS (30+ KG) is quite doable for 20 miles (30 km) by larger fitter males (i'm 6'1" and 250 lbs).
