Have you actually tried an A9/A9ii/A1? You might be
I've not tried the A1 yet to see how it would hold up to the sea water in the high sunshine but the point is moot with the EVF. But I will....

I have, I still don’t get on with EVF’s as well as OVF’s. I accept there are some benefits to EVF’s but after looking through an OVF for 40 odd years I still find looking through an EVF is nauseating after several hours, I get eye strain and the latency, even on high refresh rate EVF’s, doesn’t match what my brain expects.
Personally I think it is down to my age and generation, I believe newer and younger photographers can embrace EVF’s without the brain memory (like muscle memory but different!). I have used 1 series cameras since forever and so have been very spoilt with OVF’s, but I will be very interested to see what Canon can do with the EVF in the R1.
How often do you look through them for hours at a time? Genuinely hours at a time.I’m 57, have crap eyes, and love my EVF cameras more every time I pick them up.
Same, 56, semi crap eyes with a retinal scarring (from AMPPE )and EVF's really mess with me. #1 reason I'm still using my 5D3. I keep trying out new bodies but more than a couple minutes and I have a terrible adjustment period with the camera away from my eye. OVF? I can shoot and shoot with only the minimal issues.How often do you look through them for hours at a time? Genuinely hours at a time.
I'm not quite 57, I also have pretty crap eyes, I just don't get on with EVF's the same.

We might have more faith in your input if you were a little more precise. The Canon 1D MkIII was a 10mp APS-H sensored camera.The 85mp is correct allas misinterpreted by the whistle blower. Its a quad af sensor and the actual resolution is 85/4=21.25Mp which is comparable with 1Diii.
Hours at a time would include things like soccer matches, and tournaments where you cover three or four matches a day of continuous play, or three day music festivals where you are shooting for 12 hours a day three or four days in a row. Wildlife from blinds. All kinds of things really.You’d have to define ‘hours at a time’ because I have never held a camera of any kind up to my eye continually for hours at a time.
On a typical shooting day - out hunting wildlife or whatnot - I’ll be out anywhere from 2 to 12 hours. Depending on what I’m looking for, my camera will be up and down from my eye constantly all through that period. Sometimes for minutes at a time, sometimes only for seconds. I don’t know how that equates to what you’re saying. It’s really hard to equivocate.
The EVF transition was truly seamless for me - I honestly didn’t know I was supposed to have trouble until I started reading about it on the internet.
The first things I notice when I shoot my 5D4 or 7D2 now is how dull and dim the OVF is, and I have to remind myself to take test shots to make sure my settings are close before I start trying to move in on a subject. With the EVF I just lift the camera and keep walking and adjust as I’m going knowing beforehand what I’m going to get as I go...
I agree. Shooting international sporting events for a week or more, waking at 6AM and shooting until dark or into the evening we take extreme stress on our eyes before we edit a single shot. No one in the world can tell me an OVF is not superior for sports. Looking through glass is pure and your eyes for days and weeks on end will never stress. Shooting tight fast sports is tough on the eyes period. No EVF can match the speed, agility, clarity of an OVF in all lighting conditions.....anyone who shoots pro sports in these circumstances will understand.How often do you look through them for hours at a time?

???Hey Guys! RF mount you think for the Canon EOS R1?

If shooting wildlife in crop mode for extra reach, 85MP would translate into 33MP. About the same as 90D and M6 Mark II.
So 85MP is not TO much![]()
