No it might bring back 35mm camera ti all demographics ie making it more like back in flim unless you using medium or large format when everyone mom & pops to pro used 35mm.

I really don't understand the move to release an entry level R camera now, where you can only buy high end lenses for it. If someone was interested in buying into the new system via an entry level camera, he probably would want to use entry level priced lenses to come with it. Since this is not in the portfolio of canon right now in the R line, this really doesn't make sense for me. Who might be the target audience for it? Who will buy an entry level camera with a 50 F1.2 or a 28-70 F2? Looking at the prices right now, 3600 Euros for a body, kit lens and adapter isn't cheap. On the same page, comparing the features of the EOS-R with other cameras in the mirrorless market and with DSLRs: What could entry mean in this case as this more or less entry already? Really puzzled about this.
With the specs and quality of cameras offered by Sony, Nikon, Fuji etc,. the EOS R better be the low-end camera! Canon has to get into the game.
who cares if it is deliberately or not?
others show that they can do what canon can not/will not.
Typical Sony troll or "fake" review type comment. Seriously, who gave you the script?
Sorry Dik. I own nothing but Canon cameras, including the EOS R. No script. Just experience.Typical Sony troll or "fake" review type comment. Seriously, who gave you the script?
Wow, djickfartyone (seems we’re both prone to typos), I’m amazed you haven’t switched to a brand other than Canon, with all of that bad experience. By buying even their most recent model, you’re sending the message that they’re making desirable gear. Why are you doing that?Sorry Dik. I own nothing but Canon cameras, including the EOS R. No script. Just experience.

It is entry level for FF. If your definition if to 'entry level' to photography, then surely that accolade belongs with smartphones and compacts.
Nero, Since Canon is so dominant, it has no excuses....right. I own a 1DX2 that badly underperforms my comrades D5 in in critical areas for wildlife photography such as AF, ISO and dynamic range.
I actualy tried it ;-)No point in discussing the camera if you're calling it a mirrorless 6D. You clearly haven't tried it or looked at the pictures and videos produced by it.
Why would people wait so long if there is a way more capable system waiting at sonys side?You do understand that Canon is building a system that they hope will last for decades. And that virtually no one needs a camera immediately. So, professional photographers can certainly wait another 6 months to a year (or more) to see what the R lineup will look ultimately look like.
Yep it can, but why would ANYONE work with a single card-slot camera in a professional environment? (beside studio work) There is NO reason at all to use the EOS R over the 5d IV for your professional work.And that the R can certainly be used professionally - as can any FF camera and many crop cameras as well.
I mean compared to there entire EF lineup. The 28-70 f2 and the 50mm is pretty much the best that canon offers, isnt it?And that they have released 4 lenses so far - so saying that they have released the "pretty much best lenses of their entire lineup" is rather silly, in my opinion.
And calling the "R" a "toy" and insinuating that those that will buy the R and even a lower end future R will be doing nothing more than posting them on instagram is totally insulting to both Canon and those photographers that are using the R to produce professional level photographs.Who exactly is using the EOS R for professional work? Leave influencers who are paid for it aside. Why would anyone use it over a 5D IV?
It is absolutely not a profesisonal tool. And Canon itself is absoluetly not advertising it as such.
Leave the 1DX II aside (Which I use daily, but got a lot of flaws), there is NO useable other 4k camera AT ALL under 10k at canon. There are incredible powerfull tools in this price area on the competitors. Why should I wait another year to get any useable tool from canon for 4k productions and photography?It will take years to build their R system. What exactly is your hurry?
It is absoluetely not a professional tool. Why do people insist it is? Not even canon acts like it is.Cameras that cost hundreds and even thousands are not toys. Besides, the photographer/glass makes the biggest difference. Sorry about your Instagram.

You are right on the lenses. The lenses are capable of a way higher resolution. In my opinion the EOS R sensor just doenst match the lenses performance.
I am not on instagram, I loathe it.
I wonder how many pros actually write to both cards simultaneously, as a backup in case of card failure. I find it interesting that the default behavior of Canon’s dual slot cameras is to just record to one card. More importantly, with the exception of one camera (the 1D X), simultaneous recording to both cards means a performance hit in terms of buffer clearing, with performance being limited by the slower of the two card slots. Personally, I do record to both CF cards in my 1D X (not that I’ve ever had a card fail), but if my camera had CF/SD mix or a CFast/CF mix such that recording to both resulted in sub-maximal performance, I’d likely just record to the faster card.Yep it can, but why would ANYONE work with a single card-slot camera in a professional environment?

Best for what? For shooting birds, the 600mm f/4L IS III is ‘the best Canon offers’. For shooting architecture, I’d argue that the TS-E 24/3.5L II and TS-E 17/4L are ‘the best Canon offers’. The EF 24-70/2.8L II and the RF 28-70/2L deliver similar image quality, so which is ‘the best Canon offers’ will vary depending on whether one values an extra stop of light or a 14% wider focal length. The RF 50/1.2L is arguably the best 50mm lens that Canon offers...but it’s also the most expensive 50mm lens that Canon offers, by a $1000 margin, so does it being ‘the best’ really come as a surprise?I mean compared to there entire EF lineup. The 28-70 f2 and the 50mm is pretty much the best that canon offers, isnt it?
No manufacturer has a sensor that matches the resolution of the lens, the lens is always designed to exceed the resolution of the sensor (not to mention easier) - to do otherwise would be dumb.It is absoluetely not a professional tool. Why do people insist it is? Not even canon acts like it is.

The pictures may be nice (as the 5d iv) which is nowhere near a Sony a7RIII sensor.
