I've joined the club! New R1 has arrived. One of the things that I love right away is the instant-on feature. No more waiting for the camera to wake up! It was a major pet peeve of mine with the R5 (because when an animal shows up, you gotta be ready to shoot right away). And programming the AF-ON button to give 40 fps at full press is genius. I heard that the viewfinder is good, but really it's ridiculously good. I had to switch the viewing mode to compact, because otherwise the image was just too big! This also moves the shooting data to the margins of the viewfinder (outside the image), which is nice. In my mind, this is definitely a flagship camera.
