If you have to save money for a camera, the R6 is just too expensive at the moment, and the RP is relatively "un-crippled" for Canon standards. They've hidden the silent shutter (the camera is still quite silent), removed the mechanical first curtain (does not matter to me) and gave it the small LP-E17 battery, which really is the only major shortcoming - a cheap USB PD power bank will help.

I would think about getting a Tamron or Sigma 150-600 instead of the dark 600/11, though these lenses are a lot bigger and heavier and probably a little softer at the log end.
