Cheers, looking about for a nice copy for nice money

Well, after a lot of thought and weighing up a variety of different options, all of my m4/3 gear went in part exchange today against a single lens and camera. I now have an EOS R and a 24-70mm L lens. The camera body itself isn’t too different than the G9, and the grip is almost identical which is a very, very good thing. My lens doesn’t arrive until Tuesday, so until then I have a very expensive paperweight

Enjoy, hope it works out well for you. You've done some real nice work with your M43 gear, your images will be missed here.
Enjoy it, ime sure you will do well with it.
That looks like a well spec’d out Camera Simon. Enjoy the learning curve.
Thanks guys. Amazingly enough, size, weight and ergonomics so far feel identical to the G9 so far.
And another one bites the dust , following red robins
posts on the canon thread . , all I can think at the moment is some of you guys have lot# more spare money than me![]()
Hope it was worth itNo spare money at all. Could only do it by selling every bit of m4/3 gear I’d amassed over the years. I now have one lens and one camera.

Nice Keith
You keeping the g80 then Keith
I'll be in a position to buy a nice lens very soon, and looking at the 12-40 2.8,
Thanks guys. Amazingly enough, size, weight and ergonomics so far feel identical to the G9.
That's exactly what i thought when chatting with a pro photographer at Audi Drivers International Castle Coombe this Saturday. As well as his full frame Cannon and a suitably heavy long piece of glass for track photos he also had on his other shoulder the EOS R. It looked so like the G9 that i asked if i could look at it. Turned out to be the new Canon mirrorless you've just bought. Looked a lovely bit of kit and felt nice in the hand. You may recall we had a severe storm Saturday and Castle Coombe had a few heavy showers that morning. I caught up with him a couple hours later and he showed me a fogged up view finder on the new canon saying "it's not so watertight after all" Perhaps he had a one of although he did shelter from the worst of the showers but i thought i'd mention it to you.
Thanks for that Mark. I never trust the weather proofing claims made by manufacturers. I never have done, even when I used to use Canon 1 series bodies back in the day. I'll always shoot using a rain cover if I'm out in the rain. Appreciate the heads up though.
Simon.
I have a question i'd like to ask as a novice in digital. Question is, what would be the best card reader i should buy that is able to do full justice with my newly acquired GX8 and potentially a G9 later on without paying for performance those cameras will never use?
Currently using a Sandisc Extreme HD Video 30mb/sec 8 gig card. I find it infuriating but It was what currys sold me a few years ago and recommended for the GX1, it used to hit the buffer terribly. Your thoughts appreciated thanks Mark.
I'll second both of them suggestionsCard reader or card?
If its the latter Sandisk like this seems to work well for me https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Extreme-SDHC-Memory-Class/dp/B01J5RHBQ4
Card reader that gets recommended often is the Lexar usb 3 version, just plug my card straight in the pc like most others do these days

Thanks. I think it's just the card that slots next to the battery in the camera and looks like the ones in the Amazon link.
So anyone of those cards will do? Do you know the difference between the HC on the 32gb or the XC on the 64gb cards?
I know it's a silly question but i'm new to this malarkey.
It's just how they name them as the size increases, SD was up to 4gb then over that they became SDHC and now over 32gb is SDXC
Usual wisdom is don't put all your chickens in one basket, so two 16gb is better than a 32gb and so on.
If one fails you haven't lost everything especially important such as travel when you may never visit again
Also ensure you back up your photos and one more thing format your cards in camera, not on other devices
Very informative, and thanks for tasking the trouble to explain it all. One more thing how do you format cards in the camera and is this vital?

Bought the G80 + 12-60mm last month just before the cashback ended and have subsequently bought the 100-300mm lens, currently with cashback. Still on the learning curve but I'm happy so far:
