Pretend for a second you own a 5DIV and EOS R, and need to sell one of them to fund the R5. You can only sell one of them because you need 2 bodies at all times. Let's also pretend you own the following lenses:
35L II
85L 1.4
Sigma 50 1.4 Art
Canon 100 Macro L
EF 24-70 II
RF 70-200 2.8
Maybe there is some combination of lenses to sell/buy to further defray the cost of a R5, while not losing lens coverage. Subject matter is mostly weddings and portraits. Post ideas in the comments! Thanks.
I would sell the 5D IV, but it's close IMHO. You might keep it just because it could be the last 5D series camera. Another poster mentioned you would probably get more money for the R so that's also an incentive to sell the R. Since both cameras have the same image quality it's hard to argue one way or the other but the 5D IV is a more fully featured camera on top of it all. The 5D IV is definitely more of an industrial grade camera as well. Of course if you sell the 5D IV you're committing fully to the RF mount and simplifying things like lens changes. It's an extra step to swap the adapter on and off. Personally I'm probably going to sell my R and keep the RP in the same role as backup.
