Good video review Kevin, in fact no it wasn't just good, it was excellent..
The top takeaway feature of the 'R' to me is that the sensor automatically covers itself up when a lens is dismounted, this is a truly brilliant idea from Canon and will really take the reluctance and worry out of swapping lenses out in the field and hopefully all the other manufacturers will adopt this idea as quickly as possible, so Bravo Canon on that one..!
But as I use all manual setting all of the time, the rest of the bells and whistles, such as IBIS, focus tracking and video etc, etc, etc, does not interest me in the least, and on any camera Sony or otherwise - didn't Michael once advocate that camera manufactures should incorporate an advanced button on their cameras, so that once you press it, everything is then turned off and the camera drops straight into fully manual mode?
So for my type of landscape work, it all comes down to the quality of the sensor and the noise to signal ratio of the files, and from what I can ascertain so far about the 'R', is it ain't no Sony beater, in fact it is using old technology from around five years ago and that in today's camera sensor technology development cycle, is like a couple of generations ago.
I so wanted to want this camera, because I have been a Canon shooter for decades and I love 'em and how they work, but the files from the A7R2 are so sweet in comparison, that I could never dream of giving that up now. So unless they (Canon) come out with a sensor that is even sweeter and at least the same mpx as the Sony and Nikon, then I am sticking with my Sony sensor, even though the Sony Camera is a pain in the arse to use sometimes, because the files you can get out of it, are just so sweeeeeet.
