>No mechanical shutter>A hobbyist woudn't care about itYes they would, it ruins the depth of field at higher shutter speeds
>No IBIS>A downside but the majority of the RF lenses have builtin ISYou will never have the same number of stops of stabilization
>No dual card slots>Not a professional camera, not neededIt doesn't need to be professional, redundancy is always important
>No AF joystick>You can use the touch screen and it's more preciseIt isn't, and the joystick is better when looking through the viewfinder.
>No control dial>Two dials + the lens control ring is enough in 99% of the casesNot nearly as fast or convenient
>Smaller buffer>So?You can't take as many pictures in a burst
>Smaller battery>Still lasts 300-500 shotsThats nothing
>Lower max shutter speed due to EFCS>NopeEFCS has a max shutter speed of 1/4000, a mechanical shutter would give you 1/8000
>Lower resolution EVF>So, are you only viewing your images through it?You're literally viewing the world in front of you. You're missing out on details and focus accuracy.
>Meanwhile you get the same processor and sensor in a smaller form factor for ~60% of the priceSo first it was 70%, now its 60%? The Mk2 is 1999, the R8 is 1299, that's 35% less. Even if you're considering a markup thats still only 53%. You suck at math.
