Nice. According to Amazon, I will get mine early next week.

Got shipping information from B&H this March 16th for 2 R50 black bodies.

In the USA, the price difference between the R50 and R10 (with lens) is US$200.

Congratulations! Enjoy.

I'm wondering whether it is remotely sane to consider it as a secondary birding setup for my wife who struggles with larger bodies. The R10 would probably make a lot more sense, but the idea of the tiny R50 filling this role is attractive if a bit amusing.

Surprising that it made it to this mountain town so early. Of course no signature required so hopefully it will end up at the correct house.Anyways looks like I will test it with the 100-400 next week. We took some Sandhill Crane photos yesterday and my fiancée was not happy with the slowness of her original R so I told her we will go back next week and she can use my R5 and I will use the R50. 😳😆

We're down in northern NM and Sandhill Cranes at Bosque Del Apache would definitely be one of the places we'd have both rigs going at once.

I don’t take a lot of wildlife usually unless they run through my landscape. We can see the cranes near Monte Vista, Colorado which is somewhat close to us.

At this point for me, looking to approximate a replacement for the M6II, R50 is the only option. Even if the R10 were cheaper, it wouldn’t make the cut. For me.

Oh, jealous! Seems like in the US they didn’t ship any until today.Enjoy!

We can see the cranes near Monte Vista, Colorado which is somewhat close to us.At this price point, nobody would be expecting nearly as much as opposed to a R7 and above. So I think the buffer size in context to wildlife really isn't that important. Plenty of folks shoot wildlife at 1 FPS. With far less cameras.So since most companies are abandoning Bridge cameras, that would force me and I suspect others, to replace theirs with these type cameras. So my expectations with the advanced AF systems would be as a greatly improved casual walkaround camera for wildlife. Which is why I am looking forward to all the initial images from those getting the early units.I have mentioned in the past that Canon also need to do a mirrorless version of the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM Lens. Seeing how on a cropped body, that should in Canon land I think 480mm. It would also give one a decent casual fast enough lens for basic wildlife on FF. My though process has always been to have both a cropped body and a FF one. With the coming R8, along with the 3 cropped bodies, Canon has done that.Surely a R50 can easily replace these type images from my outdated Bridge Camera. Which has only a 1 inch senor with a max optical 400mm reach and I still crop those images a Ton.
