I think the EOS R has a tough market. It's pretty much what a 6DII should have been but I think that moment has passed for many potential 6DII buyers. Many will have left Canon, some would have got the 5DIV and some would have reluctantly purchased the 6D.

In my opinion though it's what the 6DII should have been in 2017 and against the A7III and Z6 it's not a very compelling option. I guess they are relying on EF lens owners?

That's really where I'm at. Who knows how many others are in the same boat though.

I've had the 6d for a few years. I'm not super heavily invested in lenses, but I got really good deals on my L's and it'd likely cost me a lot more time and money to totally switch systems and get new lenses.

Sony + adapter is a better option, but you have to spend a good chunk of money on the adapter and it'll never function as well as native glass.

There are some aspects of the 6dII I like, but not enough to bother with upgrading. The 5dIV is so much more expensive, it's hard to justify. To me, the R really hits a sweet spot - but again, it's hard to say how many others are in the same situation.
