Expectations were not met, average quality.

Superistic focus, shooting people you can forget about all these points and reframing. With good optics capable of resolving 30mp, awesome detailing, however, almost all old Elks are not suitable for this, they simply do not allow the matrix, and through the adapter the camera is longer than even the 5d series, and may not fit into a shoulder bag with the lens with which I got in with 5d without problems, completely incomprehensible control: an idiotic wheel on the left, which can do nothing but on / off, why not an ISO wheel like a Fuji or an exposure compensation dial, for example? No iso button! You can, of course, set it to a programmable button . Why not use more usable and complete control from the same 5d series ? The screen rotates in all positions, except for such that it is possible to remove the tension from the belt from the belly and control the fingers on the screen. If you need to focus with your finger, then you have to hold the camera with a not easy lens with one hand, from which it trembles and taps the screen with the other hand, you ask, why touch control at all, if using it is from inconvenient to impossible? RF optics are probably for millionaires: 150-200+ per lens, there should be mid-level budget optics, Sony has it, Nikon of the same Z series has 85 1.8 for real 60 thousand, but here it’s not, if you please, buy 200+ . Sigmas and tamrons are more modern, which would allow 30 pixels through an adapter, work crookedly in terms of exposure and white balance. Sigma (35 1.4 art) immediately needs to be set to +1, and then not for all occasions, but tamron (70-200 2.8 g2) reduces everything to yellowness, only canon optics work normally. In general, a complete frustration from this camera, and it’s not possible to sell it for money close to those for which it was bought, the new one sank a lot in price. Maybe someday it will be like Sony's support for third-party optics, the same tamron 28-75 for real money, but for now only collect dust. In summary, the camera is a total disappointment. I do not recommend buying.

Pros

Canon color, most accurately reproducing skin tones, dynamic range not bad for canon, perhaps the best sensor from canon at the moment, perhaps the best tracking autofocus on faces, adapter included, price in November 2022, but not the one that was in the summer .

Cons

The most important thing is indistinct control, no less important is the lack of budget optics in the line under the RF mount, as well as the complete absence of third-party optics for RF, poor work with third-party optics for EF through an adapter, the size is larger than a DSLR when using an adapter, the lack of a stabilizer on the matrix , not a convenient screen: it rotates in all positions, except for the only one I need (for me), like Fuji or Sony, for example, not the best dynamic range compared to the same Sony and Nikon, although Canon always lags behind here, well, one slot for memory cards , although this is no longer so important, for me personally one is enough.
