I'm current a EOS R User, I will go Japan Osaka next month with my family.

Last year I went Japan with my wife, with 6D, 50 1.2, 24-105, but 60% time leave them at hotel, because everyday were rainy day, I'm tired with the umbrella and bulky DSLR .

Now I'm planning bring the RF 24-105 & RF35 to Osaka, and outgoing with 1 lens. I think the R with RF35 is light enough for everyday carry.

Or should I give APS-C Camera a try ? Now the M6 MKI kit just USD350, but need add 40-50 for extra battery, 1 tiny battery for travel not feeling enough.

Also I'm afraid EOM-M6 with Kit lens were poor performance compare with R with RF35.

Keep using 1 system, Save money for next lightweight RF lens. or
the M6 with kit lens still great and worth to get?

I will go local Canon store to give it a try.

Dealt with exactly the same situation when we went to Nagoya recently. R with RF35mm was my choice. Brought the RF24-105mm but it stayed in the hotel 80 percent of the time.

It also meant I left my M6II at home btw.

Caveat is I'm just four hours away from Japan and biz class ticket is only 700 to 800 USD typically. You're even closer, that's good news!
