Now that I like and I wish all cameras had it. Hopefully the next generation of Sony a7's will.
Nikkon Mirrorless incoming

The white mark on the lens may be going from left to right, but you're still screwing anticlockwise even with the sensor facing away from you.
If you face a soft drink bottle towards you (the top of the cap is pointing at you), you fasten the top by turning clockwise or in this case left to right. If you turn the bottle 180 degrees, you still have to turn the top clockwise to tighten it. It's just going right to left now.
The Nikon lens turns anti clockwise no matter what way you're looking at it. A clock doesn't suddenly start going back in time because you face it away from you.
No, it is basic math. If you rotate the object 180* then everything gets inverted.
IT then just becomes a semantci argument about what is the fornt or back, and whther you are attchign the lens to the camera or camera to the lens.
This is just getting childlishly silly. With a Nikon, myself and ,illions of others find it logical and easy when you are using the camera because you rotate the lens form left to right, clockwise.
Hahaha, this is just getting silly, who actually give a r4ts behind which way a lens screws on, I have only ever used Nikon, So my Nikon lenses screw on the right way, because its the only way I know, So what that all other lenses screw on the other way (they all all wrong btw, Only joking) lets leave this be, its a waste of everybody's time!
Apparently Raymond does, he is the one that brought it up. It is a waste of everyone's time and irrelevant

Just looked at the pics closer and ergonomics looks awful.but the glass looks good

I only reply because you keep replying...
Your right eye don’t become your left eye because I am looking at you.
The car’s left side doesn’t not become the right side because you are standing in front of it.
No matter which way you look, you are twisting the lens in the same direction, its relationship isn’t the way you are looking at it but it’s relationship between the 2 objects that comes together.
Righty tighty, lefty losey. (Not - But not if you look at it differently)
And debate on where is the front of the camera?!? Really? Is there really a debate on that?

That puts Nikon's announcement to shame.
The 28-70mm f/2 may be a welcome sign that Canon are finally starting to catch up to Sigma's glass as well. For all too long Sigma have gone unchallenged with their ultra fast zoom lenses.
If only Canon could release a fast telephoto zoom like the 120-300 f/2.8 as well.

Yeah, that is an enviable set of glass and knowing Canon it will be great quality. Lets hope that a good adapter is released to put RF glass on the FE mount... or otherwise Sonyy produces similar native FE glass to match.

Hardly, the lens selection is better at launch but everything else is very poor.
Like the Nikon it only has 1 card slot but it doesn't have IBIS, Weather sealing (they state only dust/drip proof), 4K video but probably crippled etc.
Overall camera to camera I'd take the Nikon, Canon have gone (as they normally do) half hearted into this protecting the rest of their range.
The 4k on the Canon is likely cropped.
The weather sealing id a much bigger issue than the card slots. The sensor is also just the old 5Dmk4 sensor which doesn't stand up to the competition.
I am also dubious of that 24-70mm f/2 lens. It will be huge and insanely expensive, and way too adventerous for Canon. A 28-50mm f/2 maybe.
I suspect a typo and it is f/28

In which case the ergonomics must be horrible on such a camera. That kind of lens belongs in the 1D/5D4. Very unbalanced in weight, price and features. The Canon mirrored looks aimed at a lower level than The Nikon DZ, which itself is clearly marketed well below the pro level

Link?

But this is canons low end mirrorless body. Perhaps they are about to launch a $4000 more pro orientated body soon with dual cards, weatherproofing, IBIS etc?
Have you seen any actual word of this on any rumour site of this or are you just engaging in speculation that thy are "about" to launch a new pro mirrorless?

No but do you think Canonis just going to launch one relative low to mid specked mirrorless FF camera body ever? Same with Nikon when both are ploughing loads of money into new lens for the new mounts?
Hence why there may appear to be a mis match between the high end expensive pro f2 lens and a mediocre low body which won’t appeal to pro users. At least Nikon released both their bodies at the same time. Canon won’t intend to remain with just one low end body for very long. Perhaps it was meant to be launched already but they have last minute issues over IBIS or something, who knows
Greebo, no-one in their right mind would think Canon are only releasing one mirrorless "ever" (lol), but I have also seen absolutely nothing to suggest they are "about" to release a new high-end pro mirrorless either.
Same for Nikon though Nikon's CEO talked explicitly about a more pro Nikon Z, just can't provide deal now obviously.
the Z6 and Z7 are mirror-less versions of the D610/D750.
Why will Canon release a low-end mirror-less with a high end lens, unless Canon believes this camera is high end?
And going by these dimensions the 28-70 f/2. wont be fund to hold on the Canon R.
