R5? R6? Anyone?

[Kayaker72]

So, my R5 arrived last Friday. I had been thinking that I would test it for a week before posting anything (technically, I am testing this ). But, I responded to a question earlier today, so....

Initial impressions are positive. Perhaps the biggest surprise is how much it melts away while I am using it to the point where I am not thinking about the camera at all. Perhaps this is because the R5 is very much a combination of the 5DIV and M6 II. In a way, taking the best parts of both those cameras that I really like, combining them, and making other things better. It has a few quirks I am still working on.

Two images that I cropped pretty tight, both taken from my office window set up as I have used all summer, and what can I say, it does not disappoint.

R5, 700 mm, 1/500, f/5.6, ISO 3200 (no noise reduction)--11.2 MP
