The owls have moved on for the most part, but I did get a juvenile flying. Following observations:
* The camera locked up several times and had to have the battery popped out. Yes the new battery.
* The camera really, really hates my Lexar 256 Diamond card, which ironically was my primary R5 card because it clears the buffer the fastest in cRaw. No problems with my Lexar gold, or the one AngelBird card. By "hate" I mean error messages like "no card in camera" or "Card not formatted" or whatever. The freezes were all with the AngelBird card.
* Pre-capture good. Used it only once because it's a pain to turn on/off.
* The viewfinder looks blurry while looking thru it to take photos, but when I take one and review it, it's sharp, so I know I haven't completely lost my mind. I presume it has to be one of the million settings. I never felt like this with the old R5.
I think we'll be friends, especially once Canon issues a firmware update.
