The "R" works just fine for me...

Sure looks like it. Some epic skies for you, monsoon season I'd say.

I went up to photograph the pond with some late afternoon sun, never got the sun, got this as a consolation prize. (wildlife photography is tricky, lots of misses)

Those things are no joke! they always look so benign until...

Nice shots!

Thanks. I've read of an incident or two this year in CO with a mother moose and calf and people accidentally coming across them on the trail and getting charged. This moose seemed mild mannered.

My daughter and I came across a moose enjoying a drink while at the Teton's several years ago. We managed to get some great shots and made for a nice Xmas card but...was quick to not have my back to him for very long! Definitely proceed w caution!

@ marcesc - great skies!!!

What about Elk? My wife and I came across these guys on the rim trail back in March. They barely batted an eye when we walked past them. Maybe walked past is not the right way to describe it. It was more like tip-toed!

For a camera many had written off as irrelevant, under featured, and as a nominal 'first pass try' at a mirrorless camera, the buzz sure seems to continue and the captures seem to be outstanding. Just look above this post.

Admittedly, I now own an R6 along with my R, but I'm a gearhead. The R7 is probably coming sooner rather than later also if they ever start shipping it so it's actually in stock. But my R isn't going anywhere. Why? Because it does what it's supposed to do. At 32 megapixels FF. It ain't eating, and it isn't going anywhere.

Yeap! Works fine for me. I think it's better to get an R7 + R if you like both landscapes and wildlife/sports.... You can get BOTH for ~$3k

Landscapes don't need fast focusing systems and all that... I think "most people" did just fine with the 5d - 5div... So then it becomes a game of need vs. want.

Marketing is always there to tell people they're somehow "missing out" if they don't have: ___________... It's a never ending treadmill...

I've been "getting along" with an R and an R5 for a year or so. Started with the R, and added the R5 a while later. Love them both. I tend to leave the R5 with the longer lens mounted (the theory being if I'm trying to reach out to a subject then the higher pixel count will help if I need to crop in later on). I use the R as much or more than the R5.

So last weekend, I took the plunge and sent my R in for a full spectrim IR mod. Something new I can branch into. It was gone for 2 or 3 days, and I decided I couldn't have just one "unmodified" camera, so I ordered a brand new R. So now I will have 3 mirrorless bodies . . . one R5 and two R's.

Crazy? Probably. But my point is the R is a great camera in it's own right. Better that an R6 for sure (in my humble opinion).

There you have it . . .

Now that's a setup!

Looking forward to seeing some IR images!

Sounds like we R users are in agreement. I've had mine for 3 years and no urge to upgrade. I think if I were a wildlife photographer, then probably the R5 would be appealing with the eye focus and that high FPS and more pixels (for cropping), but as mostly a landscape person the R does everything I want.

Yes! I love my R for landscape. I didn't "need" it but my uncle left me some money and I wanted something that would remind me of him. I don't see any reason to upgrade it for what I use it for.

I kept the 80D for wildlife and the EF 100-400L II has been on it ever since, mostly with the EF 1.4x III. If my R7 ever ships it should be a great companion for the R.

I just scored the R7 myself that I will use mostly for wildlife. Hoping to give it a good workout over the next month when I head up to Vermont. No intentions of ditching the R. Will be nice to have both bodies that use the same mount system and batteries. Most likely selling my M50 setup though.

Yeah that R7 looks beast mode on either the 100-400ii or 100-500rf...
