So the conclusion is, if you shoot stills (and no action) the EOS R is the MILC for you. My question is, who is buying MILCs just to shoot stills?

Me. The advantages are greater than I expected. In low light, the EVF is like a night vision scope with perfect color. The R is not bad for occasional action.

Wouldn't the same apply to a 6D2 with the screen?

You might as well get a 6D2

That's what I was thinking, until I read about the focus system. I like to take candid shots without flash. That -6 EV focus really is all it's cracked up to be.

I guess this is a key difference with the 6D2. But I'd wager that -6EV is with F/1.2 glass.

for half the price.

Good lenses are so expensive that the difference in price is more like 10-20%, depending on how many kinds of photography you want to do.

If you're coming from EF you already have lenses, so the lens cost is moot. And there are plenty of decent priced EF lenses (24/28/35 IS USMs, 24-105 STM/USM L, old 85 1.8, plenty of telephotos, all the Sigma ART glass etc). So all that really matters is the cost of bodies, where the EOS R is eh. I guess compared to a 5D4 it's a bargain but I'm not convinced that it's 2x as good as the 6D2.
