And yet somehow Canon stubbornly keeps being #1 in spite of ignoring internet "wisdom" like that. Demonstrates how much internet opinions matter in the real world.
I have an Elan 7E.
It is not about "you need and cannot live without x and y features". It is about Canon unable and or unwilling to put features into their cameras that are or should be pretty much standard in 2018. Even when those features cost little to nothing and consists of just a few lines of already written software code - e.g. looking at Auto ISO implementation. Just take the "really right" software from 1DX II and presto, its done! But no, not even such tiny items. Or why no UHS-III SD slot or two of them .. in 2018? Cost difference would be marginal.
It is this kind of behaviour that many people here are so sick and tired of. And it causes Canon a lot of lost goodwill in their customer base. Rightfully so!

...and even if they did, holding a mirrorless camera up to your eye while you are doing that (presuming you're not on a tripod) is far far far preferable to 'iPad photography' of handheld Liveview.

The problem with all the teeth gnashing and statements of doom and gloom isn't a conclusion like yours. Not every product is going to appeal to every potential customer. Not every product is going to be so good or so bad as to pull people from other brands or push existing customers them away. Evaluating a new product against your needs and deciding on whether or not to purchase it is rational way of doing things.
What is crazy to me is how product announcements bring out people who say Company X is DOOMED, DOOMED I SAY! Clearly that isn't the case here or really with any one product announcement. I don't really understand the purpose of such comments.
Personally my Canon body journey has been 10D, 1D Mark II, 1DX. I want something lighter I can take hiking but so far I haven't been tempted by any offerings, from Canon or otherwise. I use to take a point and shoot--I carried an S100 for a year or so. Now I just use my phone. Eventually I'll find something to take with me. A mirrorless R offering might be the ticket. I can hike with it with a lighter lens yet other times I can also use anything from my EF collection on it and the 1DX. That's something I can't do with the M50.

Agreed but Canon is also a conservative innovator. They bring features to the market when they are well-tested and work (at least in the FF and cinema lines).
Sony is the opposite (in my experience at least), bring things to the market and let the user test. Then, bring out a new model.
Both approaches get you eventually somwhere but only one has a track record of reliability.
Just my 2cents.

What are you shooting? I don't see how you can replace you the EM1 300mm with a 7r3 85mm. You could get the Sony and one of the many 150-600 zooms but there will be no comparison size wise. I don't know the benefits of eye af especially at 600mm, but with your wide ranging needs I don't see a one body solution. I would keep the Olympus then choose the best full frame for the generic needs.

I noticed the video bitrate is identical to the 5d mark IV:
https://www.canon.co.uk/cameras/eos-5d-mark-iv/specifications/
Does that mean the 1.7x crop factor will be there for 4k video?

I know what the E is, but what’s the N on mine?

I would probably relax and go take some photographs. There are likely 100's of camera bodies to choose from. I am not interested in this model, but to me it looks like it will fill a void. I think this may be a vlogger's camera. I am a bit stumped about the lenses however, so I suspect another body will be announced sooner rather than later. It will probably be a bit more advanced.

EOS-R, RF and EF Lenses of all types.
I’m bored with forum trolls complaining about everything trivial and ignoring the fact that a camera is just a lens holder with an interface for our minds as photographers.
Bitching about yet-to-be delivered cameras is the realm of non-photographic trolls whose actual camera is their phone doing selfies.
Lens quality and manufacturer support are more important than single specs. My experience after 60+ years of shooting is that Canon and Leica support you long after the warranty is over. Sadly, two manufacturers loved by these trolls have failed us miserably.

And just like the M, I expect that there will be several models before they get it right....Sorry Don. EOS M (1st gen) did NOT capture the market. It was seriously underspecced and had to be firesold for 299 including kit lens. What saved Canon's ass were the EF-M lenses. Decent IQ, small size, very affordable price. RF lenses are exactly the opposite on the last 2 items. And EOS R looks underspecced as well, now that we see more of the caveats and fine print. So I don't think it work as well for Canon FF mirrorfree this time.
Looking forward to see what Pana brings to the table. Then we got 5 FF mirrorfree suppliers and about 10 different new/current bodies. I like.

Absolutely. Just like those who think Canon can’t engineer uncropped 4K in a 5DIV or 1080 120p in a mirrorless camera without overheating.
Canon can engineer what they want, but what they want centers around protecting profitability, product lines and dependability, mostly the former two motivations.

The real trick would be to find a camera made in the last ten years that you can not use to take great pictures.....

Ot may but its unlikely give the details in the spec sheet. Then, the 5div uses a different codec altogether

My question is, what's going on between the lens and the body that needs 12 contacts vs the 8 of EF?
Also, I wonder if R will be to M as EF is to EF-S. One of the best things in the EOS system was that there was just the 2 types one had to manage between when deciding what to get.

Nope. https://www.canonrumors.com/forum/i...os-r-specifications.35724/page-17#post-739564
EV-3 on the prospective R corresponds to f3.5 which is 2/3 stops better than 5D4, if the specs sheet doesn't lie.

Don, do you think Canon can afford (not financial-wise, but rather, reputation-wise) to do what you're describing...on a FF device?
