There is something wrong with your camera/lens/settings if you can't use AF on the R5 to get sharp focus of small birds perched on a branch and have to resort to manual pre-focus. And, do you also use manual focus for birds in flight?

New report shows people who leave parties without saying goodbye save up to two days per year
BACK DOOR BENNY: Saying goodbye to friends at parties may seem like the obvious and polite thing to do, but a new report shows it may be costing us dearly. Researchers from the UNSW’s Time Management Institute interviewed 2000 Australians, finding on average they go to 25 parties per year. “From...

) , and planning to get a S5ii so I can enjoy sigma lenses and adapt other stuff, have some flexibility.
Not all of them.I thought everyone who complained about lenses left last year, or the year before that.
Sigma are due to announce a 50mm f1.2 Art DG DN for E and L mount on the 26th of this month which according to the rumours will be the lightest in its class and have 13 aperture blades so it will be very interesting to see how it renders.Ill keep enjoying my r5+m50+m6ii (with SIGMA efm lenses!
Silly canon thinks locking in users their limited choices builds...brand value? It's so weird. I'm glad they finally stated it plainly to the press, so the canon leg humpers in these forums cant speculate their intentions anymore.
That money that would be spent on more canon gear has already gone to sony, and other oems. IT doesn't have to be, but that's canons choice (strategy).
I'd love to buy a canon 50 1.4 replacement, but i cant. So I'll get something else on a L mount body or whatever. Less money for...the market..leader. Yup.

Haven't seen anyone saying options are bad. Not sure why someone would think that. Or suggest it, except to troll.
Let them buy a RED Komodo and then complain about it being video focusedAnd once they have the 3rd. party lenses, they'll start whining for 3rd. party RF-like cameras.
I’m not telling anyone how to feel. There’s no point in that. If you happen to feel that the Earth is flat or that evolution doesn’t occur because it’s ’just a theory’, that’s fine. But if you post such ridiculous feelings, you absolutely deserve the ridicule you’ll receive.
Except…they haven’t lost market share. That's what the data show. If they’ve lost customers/sales, they’ve also gained them. No net change. So yes, their strategy is working very well, ‘eh?
You’ve made it clear you don’t want to hear it. You don’t get to speak for everyone. No one does.
Did you really intend such an egregious oxymoron? Do you really think Canon makes product development decisions capriciously? Or does the market demand play a role? A major role?
Watch people blame Canon when RED switches to the Z mount.Let them buy a RED Komodo and then complain about it being video focused
EF->RF is a system switch, EF can be adapted to other mirrorless systems. Just as with choosing EF, I'm going to look before leaping. I've got a system I'm happy with, so I don't have to make a forced jump. My gear acquisition has switched to lighting/studio instead of the expense of re-buying lenses. Meanwhile, I have the fund to renovate the house.^^^
Not all of them.

Early RF wasn't appealing at all, the picture has improved but not enough to outweigh other things I can get with that much investment. There seems to be a reasonable shot that'll change before I decide I want to switch, thus my wait-and-see. I totally get other folks having a business case for moving long ago.
A lot of posters that are not happy that Canon does not meet their individual needs claim that Canon is losing customers because of ‘dark lenses‘, ‘no f 1.x 24, 28, 35, 50 mm etc. lenses’, ‘no third party AF lenses’, Etc. Etc.
).All camera companies are in business to make a profit, ie. extract the maximum revenue and margin from their customers. Sony, Fuji, Nikon, Sigma, Tamron are not different from Canon in that aspect. They just have different strategies to achieve that.
Speaking for myself, I bring up market share in specific circumstances, and those circumstances do not include questions like, “Why should I buy Canon?” People should buy the gear that best meets their needs.
