New Camera

I recently bought a 5D MkIV and almost wish I hadn't. I STILL don't have the menus/ etc down. This all started with a used 5D, and later a refurb MkII I decided around Christmas to get the MkIV because it seems Canon is leaning to discontinue them.

Believe it or not I was just the other day reading up on an R3.

No more than I do anymore, a guy has to wonder why LOL

I have read several articles about Canons DSLR bodies lately. I don't know if the articles were talking about all of the DSLR's or not but Canon has said that they will not be dropping the 1 DX Mark III any time soon. The author was quoting a Canon rep. Reason being is Canon does not want to force users into the mirror-less world. Suppose time will tell.
Menus on the higher end cameras can be confusing as hell. I have killed 2 fully charged batteries in the R3 trying to figure them out. Still have not turned on the eye focus stuff. Camera will focus on whatever I am looking at. Some of the menu items in the R3 are tucked into areas that make no sense to me.
I have Pocket Wizard radios so I can shoot remotely. I had them figured out last year. Set them up the same way at Renegade this weekend and they worked for about 15 minutes and then they did not. Spent several hours yesterday, no luck. Emailed them this morning, waiting to hear back from them. I did figure out how to make them work but how I had to set them up is not even close to what Pocket Wizard has told me to do...
