Good luck with it.  I hope it is all you anticipate.
I would suggest downloading the PDF of the manual ahead of time (when it is published) to allow you to get to grips with the interface and shorten your setup time when it comes.  Also, it's part of the fun! 🤗 📷


cheers, TREVOR

The mark of good photographer is not what they hold in their hand, it's what they hold in their head;

Great idea Trevor, I'll check and see if the R5 Mark II manual is available 👍

Congrats Joe,

I think you'll be happy.  I know you mentioned wanting a few more MP's under the hood.😀

We'll be interested to hear what you think.

Hi Rick, 

I think that I'll be a happy camper, can't wait to get it delivered.  As soon as I do, I'll do a test drive and post my review and thoughts. For US$4718.55 including tax and 2 day shipping, it should serve me breakfast in bed !  lol

Cheers,

How exciting! You’ll probably see it before I do. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts and more importantly, see more of the images you make.

Hi ccanada

Yeap, I'm exited !  I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas to arrive !  Can't wait.   I have been watching all of the videos of professionals who have been given the privilege to test the R5 MK2 in their prospective fields, such as Wildlife, Architectural, Sports and Wedding photography.   Their comments, pros and cons.  Everyone loves the new features and capabilities of the new R5 MK2, and can't wait to get their own.  I was looking to see if the R5 MK2 manual was available, but it seems it hasn't been uploaded as of yet.  Let me know if you find out different...

Cheers,
Joe
