Canon EOS R

[DavidOwen]

I would like to get peoples opinion about getting the Canon EOS R. I want to upgrade my camera to mirrorless and think the new RF Lens from canon look amazing plus would be a good investment for the future.

I normal take landscape and travel pictures with no videos so the crop size issues isn’t a factor for me.

I have also been looking at the Sony 7iii and don’t like the look and feel of it but understand at the moment they are ahead of canon in sensor design.

Just want to get peoples opinion who have used the EOS R and/or Sony 7i

Why did I think to myself..  Where have I seen this post before?? 

My hunch was correct, and so was my memory.

"My hunch was correct, and so was my memory."

Ernie,

Morning and happy holidays.  Have a look at the picture I posted.  Same post, same wording from 3 different users.  Its a repost...

Rick,

Good morning to you too and a very happy holiday season.

I saw your post.  I wonder why someone does that?

I guess I am not watching closely enough to notice these multi-post posts! You have good recall.

I don't think "someone" is the right word.  The forums have been under attack by hackers for at least the past 2-3 years.  They like to post links to who knows where, frequently in the "user's" very first post.  When you get a reply, it is usually nonsense.

Now, they are getting a little more clever.  The first post does not contain a link.  But after a few days, suddenly the signature will change, and a link will be embedded in the signature.  The hide the link as regular text, too, instead of letting you see the web address domain name, AKA the dot com name.

Also, the Canon forum software is basic and unsophisticated as these things go, so I expect the hackers to keep doing their thing.

OTOH, Canon seems to monitor the forum pretty closely, so the hackers often don't last very long.

Also, I think when they move a post, it appears as a totally new post with no read responses. I don't remember where this one started, but it could have been moved.

"I don't think "someone" is the right word."

I would make a rotten hacker or crook. I just don't think of the things they do. They just don't come to my mind. It is good we have people here that do spot it, so thnax, and keep up the eagle eye.
