Picked mine up from LCE in Lincoln early this afternoon First impressions are mixed. The camera feels solid enough, but a little on the small side for me, there's nothing for my little finger to grab, so I'll be scouting out a grip for it. The rear dial is a little bit fiddly as i'm used to my 5D3, 1D3 and 7D but I'm sure I'll get used to it. The screen is very responsive and the short time I had it on Liveview it was pretty quick locking on and taking the shot.
I'm a little bit disappointed that the 2 Sigma lenses I've used will need a bit of MFA but the Canon lenses have seemed fine so far. These 2 shots are among the first few shots with the camera and were taken with my Sigma 150-500 OS before any MFA and are SOOC jpegs with no PP and very little time spent going through the menus.

Overall thoughts are pretty positive though. The build quality is very good, the touchscreen is very responsive and the camera is quite fast at attaining focus and tracking is good, this being compared to my 5D3. Once I get down to changing all the settings to how I want I'm sure I'll be very happy with it. I'm now going to read through the manual and see if I can find any tips in it.
