2. Requiring the use of a touchscreen to move the focusing point is vexing.
2b. I am left-eye-dominant, which means my nose tends to make contact with touchscreens, so, touchscreens are, generally, a no-go for me, period.
3. The AF-assist beam on external Speedlites is, apparently, not supported. One of the wonderful things about Canon is the Speedlite system, which quietly surpassed Nikon’s system, while too few seemed to notice.
I prioritize ergonomics. Having not yet handled an EOS R, this part is “maybe,” for now. A 5D IV is about perfect for my hands, and normally quite small enough, for “travel.”
It is not that I feel a need for a mirror. I liked my M3, with the optional EVF, well enough. An unfortunate submersion ruined it. I may buy a replacement M3, or an M6.
Nikon is my second system. (One reason is because my wife is a Nikon shooter; we can economize by sharing expensive tele lenses, as we both like birds/wildlife.) We handled a Z7 at a Nikon launch event. I am not necessarily wanting a Z camera, either, but the Z7 has a toggle/joystick, and the shorter flange-to-sensor distance might mean better adaptability to some very interesting lenses, such as Leica-M, of which I have two, and, at the moment, no body upon which to use them.
