Remarkable eye detect ...... but ......
EVF lag and battery life ......
Toni is a mixed bag himself.
At a time when many are going ML ..... there are some who want to know in advance whether a particular camera is going to be suitable for their needs ...... like we do here with lenses ...... the R5 costs $4,000 .... so not a financial decision to be taken lightly.
It's a great Swiss knife camera no doubt ..... but many want to know where it's strengths and weaknesses lie ...... with respect to their personal usage ......
..... for BIF it has it's shortcomings ..... especially with fast flying birds, which most are ...... EVF lag ..... which ironically will make itself felt most with the new 800mm F11 telephoto ... ... where when looking through the EVF, the bird is flying into the frame ...... yet in the image the birds will be flying out of it ..... or even worse clipped .....
.... that is worth mentioning don't you think? .... of course if you don't shoot BIF it's neither here nor there!
Battery life will also be somewhat relevant ... whether you think that Tony is a mixed bag or not!
