The more I see all these new lenses coming out, the more I feel like the EOS R was rushed into production.
The number and class of lenses coming out for the RF mount far outpaces the number and quality of cameras we have to use them with. (Namely, one.)
It's almost as if Canon was slowly and steadily developing a full lineup of cameras and lenses to be released later, maybe this year, but they got caught out by Nikon planning to release their Z series last fall. Not wanting to lag behind so severely, they rushed together what they had on the camera side, and released the EOS R, along with the RF lenses they had ready at the time so they would have some lenses to go with the new camera.
Don't get me wrong, the R does a lot of things well, and the few things that it really excels and even beats DSLRs at (AF accuracy and low light AF) have led me to use it pretty much exclusively now.
But when you boil it down, the R is really little more than a 5D4 that's stuck in live view with a new housing with some decontented cotnrols. Add to that the bugs present in the R (I continue to have my viewfinder information overlay randomly disappear on me), and the missing features (no burst mode in silent shutter mode, really? And yes, I know that's coming with a firmware update), and it's pretty clear that Canon really wasn't prepared to go out with the RF system until this year. Not for a lack of lenses, but because of still struggling to nail down quick and reliable full frame mirrorless operation.
I'm just kind of befuddled by all of these lenses coming out, some of them $2000+ primes and wide aperture zooms that really only professionals will buy, and the only camera you can currently use them with costs less than some of the lenses and is, let's be honest here, not a top level camera, even though it's pretty capable.
I really hope they start making cameras worthy of all of these lenses soon. Again, I don't hate the R, I use it almost all the time now, but it just feels like more of a slightly rushed design experiment rather than something I feel like is a worthy successor to a 5D4.
