^ Only if you have less than a certain number of posts, Richard. It's just to prevent spammers joining up to push stuff. William will be able to post that as soon as he has ... er .. I think it's 20 posts.

On your focus comments, I'd make two observations.

1: Canon have updated the firmware of the EOS R significantly. It is now much better than it was. It is still inferior to a good SLR, particularly insofar as it still lacks both the ability to set an exact focus point ("point", not "small area") and a practicable mechanism for selecting it, but it's usable.

2: In my remarks, I laid overmuch emphasis on the AF issue, and not nearly enough on the viewfinder lag problem, which (certainly since the AF firmware updates) is far more serious. Whether that applies to other brands I cannot say.


Since this thread was last alive, it is notable that the two primary professional camera manufacturers have both introduced new models at the top of their ranges. In both cases, they went with SLRs.
