……. going to be discombobulating.
Mate, I try ...+1 for the use of 'discombobulating' a first for this site I believe.
Hmmmmm....
I do not think, DPReview will give more than 80%
....
Yes, dpr does have a well-known, pronounced and largely irrational "anti-Canon" bias since many years.
But - EOS R objectively is an "80%" camera at best. It delivers only max. 80% of what it could and should have been in 2018 and to be fully competitive with Sony A7 III. After all Canon has slapped a 25% higher price tag on it.
no IBIS, old 5D III sensor, dead slow AF tracking performance, unnecessary changes to user interface - especially that very poorly implemented multifunction slide bar instead of "tried and tested EOS trademark" rear thumbwheel plus AF selector joystick - it adds up to max. 80%.
In reality EOS R is a "mirrorfree 6D III" only. if it was sold at USD 1600, it would qualify for 100% of a "6D class entry level mirrorfree FF camera".
That said, Nikon Z6 certainly should not get a higher dpr rating than 80% either. Will be funny to see how dpr staffers try to justify it when they rate it higher than EOS R. ;-)
BTW, it’s not a 5dIII sensor, it’s a 5div.
Sony did the same thing also.Correct, my mistake. But still a two years old mirrorslapper sensor instead of a better, new one.
that should not serve as an excuse for Canon. Especially not, when they consider themselves "leader" in imaging equipment.Sony did the same thing also.
