New Camera Question.
Mr.Ft
Loc: Central New Jersey
My only concern on the R5 is the dioptric adjustment only goes to +2. My reading glasses are a +3 so I could not get the viewfinder to be sharp. On my 5D M4 they have different eye pieces that you can change to accommodate this, the R5 does not. I spoke to canon about this and was told that they are looking onto a fix for this as they have received quite a few call's about this. I guess I have to just wait and see what they come up with. It seems rather short sighted of them to limit the cameras like this, as we all age our eyes really don't get better.
I just started a post on whether I thought my decision to purchase the R5 was correct. I sold my 5D Mark IV, my 7D Mark II and gave my 5DSr to my son. The R5 substantially met or surpassed all of their strengths. They were superfluous after the purchase. Unless you want a back up body, I can't think of a reason to Keep the 5D Mark IV. The R5 will do everything as well or better.
