Ok - hmmm - here we go with my take on the Canon FF R and lenses (to whoever it might concern

):
I followed lot of the announcement videos etc you all can find all over the Internet. While I was not too optimistic this camera would be of any interest for me, I meanwhile start liking it more and more.
The biggest downturn for me was lack of IBIS but meanwhile I think to understand the Canon philosophy/strategy WRT IBIS. They offer a combination of stabilisation through their lens IS and the sensor that makes total IS even more effective. That of course only works for stabilised lenses but honestly most of the fast glass that Canon offers (will offer) like 1.2/50L etc. I do not need any IS. Second for video they offer digital stabilisation that works pretty impressive ( as shown in the video below) and for me would do the job ... so I think meanwhile I could live without IBIS.
It also offers Eye AF that is not available in the Nikon Z and that I started to really use in the Olympus EM1.2. But here it works much better because it is combined with Dual Pixel AF and hence is much finer as any PDAF system added to the sensor - so this is a big PLUS for me (see also video below).
The available adapters look simply much nicer and functional than the Nikon and Sony offerings. And the new focusing system allows focusing in combination with adapter and 2x TC down to F11 - which is absolutely great and telly me it will work like a breeze wit the TC1.4.
As I currently do not own any FF system (neither Canon, Nikon or Sony) I am completely free to jump on anything that resonates with me and I must say after a bit of thought process I seem to like the Canon offering the best. I am not looking for high MP counts (40+ MP), I want some fast primes (R 1.2/50L, EF 1,4/85 IS, EF 1.4/35) but I also need a 100-400 solution which seems to be pretty great with on of the available adapters. And I always liked (preferred) Canon haptics to anything else.
Hm ... just found out that 4K recording is still in crop mode - maybe nothing for me after all?
Now the link to the video - must say I normally do not like "Camera Introduction Videos" but this one I found extremely telling, precise and focused:
