They could always provide a 1 series style card door lock style switch/lever. Indeed thinking about it that would be a very smart thing to do for the R1 to shut up those people who discredit the swivel screen without using it but include the functionality we all know they will use when they think we aren’t watching!Canon could always lock the screen in place by default and make it so it needs to be unscrewed to be unlocked.
Ja, Ja, Ja, geeeee, GoldWing, from what I've seen from your recent posts, I'm just not sure Canon will be able to make anything you like, no matter how good it is. I just hope your constant criticisms don't interfere with everyone else's perfectly good experience with same. Sounds to me like a defection to Sony may be in order before you and your Canon gear have a melt down. Now, let me go check and see if you have ever made a positive comment about your Canon gear. If so, it has somehow escaped me as I continue to wonder why you are still using Canon.Articulating LCD. Not for a professional sports camera.... Break, Break and Break again.... What are they thinking? Eye AF, why so you can't setup your next shot in your lens? No one who shoots pro sports had much of a voice here. 30fps!!! for what? The R3 is more gimmick and marketing heavy than most will admit.... So we wait for the R1 and hope it will be "serious"
Might integrate the eye sensor(s) might not have that large an EVF?That EVF with the eye-control looks massive.
Too much engineering. Since goldmember is such an important Canon customer, they’ll just include a tube of superglue with each of the dozens of R1 bodies he’ll certainly be buying.They could always provide a 1 series style card door lock style switch/lever.

That's exactly how all the others Canon has produced work.I hope the flippy screen at least gives me the option to rotate it 180 degrees and therefore protect it from scratched while I do not use it. Most of the time I will use the EVF anyway, even if it consumes more power. An EVF gives me a little of that old DLSR feeling and in sunlight the flippy screen might to work very well anyway.
Any idea why it is an LCD screen instead of an OLED screen? Does that have to to with the higher refresh rate of LCD screens at least at the moment? An OLED could save some power.
LOL are you serious? Flip the screen around and leave it...you now have your "fixed" screen. Eye AF will be able to be disabled. Complaining about more frames per second...now that is a first! Now take a breath and say: "change is not always bad" 3 times.Articulating LCD. Not for a professional sports camera.... Break, Break and Break again.... What are they thinking?

Got that AF licked now !If I had the camera I would implement my own version: tongue control, not sure if it will work though.
So don't articulate the screen and try to break it. Hard to do. 30 fps is fantastic. Your joking, right?Articulating LCD. Not for a professional sports camera.... Break, Break and Break again....

That is almost entirely fallacious. A professional photographer needs to be a business person above all else, you can easily get by with mediocre images and very modest equipment and ‘or skills if you are good at business. You do not “need the best tools available” indeed here on this forum there are several pros and few of them own the latest or greatest.And now imagine how those people, who lived and worked with cameras 10-40 years ago, would complain if they had to work with cameras which were created 40-80 years ago? Comparing generations to each almost never works for me because mostly people just single out one factor...
Today, in order to stand out and make a living of ones images, photographers have to make incredible pictures and - among other things such as skills - in order to do so, they need the best tools available. 50 years ago, fewer people had cameras, but print media was sold in large numbers, so it was actually possible to make a living with "mediocre imagines" and therefore - maybe - less complaining...If you went to India and got a shot of tiger, you were able to sell it even it was blurry. Not today... it needs to pinpoint sharp...
I, of course, did the same here and singled only one point. I did that in order to make a point_ comparing generation usually never works without looking at the great picture... therefore, I wouldn't call anybody who wants a floppy screen a spoiled brat...
using outdated old tech would be a reason for whining in EVERY generation...
Well... I found a bargain on the R5 two weeks ago through CPW "Street Prices". R5 from a B and a H for $3699.00 USD no tax and free shipping! However, the deal expired last week.Both of which are valid arguments. Expanding on your greed comment, the question then, for me, is what price would determine whether Canon was being greedy, at which point, I could very easily say, No, No, hell no Canon. However, it would be hard for me to determine greed on their part because I don't know how much it costs to design and manufacture the R3. I don't think either of us or any of us, for that matter, believe that there will be any R3 bargains for some time but many of us are at least hoping for a price that doesn't shock our budgets. There are still NO bargains on R5/6 bodies and inventory for sale on same is often , "Out Of Stock or Backordered."
No its just not practicle if it sacrifices resolution. And this has been the case in the past. If the camera is supposed to be for professionals, we dont use anything like this to shoot video. One of our lenses could cost $250,000. What we want is simple for still sports photography and its beyond many who have not worked in the business for 20+ years to understand. Canon is motivated by enthusiasts for the bottom line, it does not mean we have to be silent or happy with what affects us.So don't articulate the screen and try to break it. Hard to do. 30 fps is fantastic. Your joking, right?
Canon is still the best in the business. And at events they are there to support us. Us voicing our preferences at forums, in private and in public will not be shut down by those who disagree with us. Most who disagree with us are not professional sports photographers who offer global Olympic, pro and extreme coverage for top tier clients with the quality and reliability we provide.Ja, Ja, Ja, geeeee, GoldWing, from what I've seen from your recent posts, I'm just not sure Canon will be able to make anything you like, no matter how good it is.

No one is trying to shut you down. You can babble on this forum until hell freezes over, for all the good it will do. We care about your opinion just as much as Canon does…i.e., not at all.Us voicing our preferences at forums, in private and in public will not be shut down by those who disagree with us.
I think it has to do with the power consumption and screen burn-in drawback of an OLED screen powered to max brightness so that you can see it in bright sunlight. OLED is 'emissive' technology - which means that the light coming out of the OLED diodes has to fight against sunlight. OLED sunlight readability was quite poor when it first appeared in smartphones but these days I find them quite acceptable and on par with LCD phone screens - but I still find LCD screens to be better in direct sunlight compared to OLED. Again, this could just be Canon not adopting the latest tech right away but keeping with older generation (and quite possibly more reliable) LCD screens with backlight.To me, OLED makes the most sense for the flip-screen and a 120 FPS LCD EVF.
That price was, given current market conditions, a great deal......Well... I found a bargain on the R5 two weeks ago through CPW "Street Prices". R5 from a B and a H for $3699.00 USD no tax and free shipping! However, the deal expired last week.
