To the OP, For the money, the R is a nice camera. If you shoot one image and take your finger off the shutter button, you get a split second (maybe a 1/4 second) of blackout then the image is displayed. If you're shooting and keep the shutter half pressed the EVF neither blacks out nor freezes. I just checked because since doing the update I haven't done a shoot yet.
Please try to give an accurate response on this. If that's for reals it would be great, but I would have no reason to do that update otherwise. I would mainly use it for landscape purposes.Īre you guys telling me there's now a blackout though thr EVF when taking a pic instead of the frozen image? This feature is not available in verion 1.7.0. Have these issues been resolved? If so I will probably purchase the camera. From what I have read from DP Review's of the camera it had the following issues when first released: Banding when files were pushed a couple of stops, Evaluative metering may vary greatly from one shot to the next of the same scene, and Dual Pixel AF is surprisingly unreliable in video shooting.
I would expect we will be seeing a number of updates this year and throughout next year as they roll out more lenses. The updates really transformed the camera from the first shipped model. THE EOS R has had about 8 updates and it was not until about #5 the major issues were working IMO.
With each successive firmware release, the time it takes to run the update and install the new firmware takes longer, and longer, and l-o-n-g-e-r.
