German blind worms and grass snakes (not sure if those are the correct names in English) do not exactly hold a candle to rock pythons and sand boasStop laughing

Those would probably run when confronted close up. Slither I mean.

Yes, my targets. Plus common adders. And I prefer a tele lens
Rattlers: 400 mm
Australian snakes where if they bite you you're dead before you hit the ground: 1200 mm.

My photography days go back to the 1960's, when all cameras were silver!
Much later, it became fashionable to have black cameras, because they were supposedly more "professional" looking. As a wildlife photographer I want my gear to be inconspicuous, so I prefer black (or olive), and it bugs me no end that I have to fit camo-covers to my big whites!

The early Canons were nearly all mainly black bodies and chrome tops and bottoms https://global.canon/en/c-museum/camera.html?s=film as I recall were Leicas etc. The twin lens reflexes were also mainly black. The consumer models started to come in as silver. But, my memories go back to the 1950s when cameras were far more rare. German cameras ere the norm then.

As an R10 owner I can tell you it handles very well with two wheels and the joystick, I find it a mini R6 in this regard, with the only difference of the missing rear wheel, whose operation (aperture control) on my R10 is carried out by the control ring on RF lenses or the EF adapter (which is also natural as in the day of manual lenses you exactly controlled the aperture via a lens ring).

but without the D! Just Eos 300!
I had the Eos 33 and the Eos 5, and then went to the "D" side starting with an Eos 10D.There was also hints of stuff to come from russian certification agencies... also now gone

Give me sharks any day! Bull sharks in open clear water are magnificent and using a 16-35mm focal length. Photo @16mm in Fiji last year.Yes, my targets. Plus common adders. And I prefer a tele lens
My dive buddy was taking video (I was just to the right of him) if you want to see them in action...
Don't swim in rivers where they spawn.... unfortunately a girl lost her life in Perth when she swam there recently :-(

Which Australian snakes are that venomous? Lots of deadly ones but not that deadly.
Fascinating wikipedia page at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_snake_bites_in_Australia
The eastern brown is the main culprit with clotting anomalies within 30 minutes.
I love the comment: "Eastern brown snakes are readily available in Australia via breeding in captivity. They are regarded as challenging to keep, and due to the snakes' speed and toxicity, suitable for only experienced snake keepers"

Thanks for the input. Guess I will see soon enough whether the presumably smaller size of the R50 is worth any sacrifices it may have compared to the R10.
Omission of the viewfinder alone probably does not warrant such a difference in price.

I'm just curious if the R50 will be something I would have found nine months ago when I started looking for a camera that was a significant step up from a cell phone. I wouldn't have found the R10, as it's too pricey, and I wouldn't have found the R50 if it ends up having no EVF.
