Right eye for me. It's my dominant eye and never really considered using the other eye.

Interestingly, the R3 has a slightly extended eye piece so its further from the screen - The screen touchiness can be turned off so you can't trigger with the face - or just flip it around so its not displaying - if that makes sense.

Ooh, I've just tried the R3 with my left eye - its not not great! I'll stick with my right eye!

Quote from: Cabbyjohn on January 05, 2024, 08:28:29 AMI have always used my left eye. Maybe that's because I am left handed?

And Right footed?  ;)  Great to see you posting, happy new year. 

The camera you use is suited to using left eye, or did you have to get around it in some way?  I know some struggle with various buttons and especially touch screens where they get activated by nose touching it etc.  I'm finding it quite awkward, but then I only switched to left after my cataract got so bad. Hopefully when sorted I can switch back again.

Right eye is what I always use - it is my dominant one I think - but might try a few tests - I did try the hole in the hands one quickly and it was inconclusive!

But right eye always feels better. But I might try the left eye and see what happens. Never had any discomfort with the "face" crunch - because I don't particularly struggle shutting the left one - or sometimes I leave it open anyway and it just seems to stop working and all I see is what's through the viewfinder.

Yes viewfinder or rear screen (Which is rotatable on both my R5 and R3) can be used for composing/taking. Also the viewfinder can have a level displayed as well as histogram and can show the shot once taken.

I do take some video too. There is some I shot in Morocco here: https://www.mark.colston-online.co.uk/Holidays/Morocco%202023/Videos/index.html - I think these are mostly HD and not 4 or 8k that the camera can take as I didn't change the settings correctly at the time! All taken on the R5 as that was the only camera I took (Living life on the edge!)

The Image stabilisation is very good too - has IBIS as well as using the lenses own IS (Some say the EF IS doesn't work on the R bodies, but I'm not so sure - it definitely spins up on my EF300 2.8L IS!) - I took some video at the Warwick Castle light trail - and was steady as a rock, despite being night!
