Thanks guys for the comments,
@bionet, thanks for pointing out the silent shutter issue, I do like the silent shutter in my Fuji. I guess needs to read more about it.

Already have it

I am not too fond of the large and heavy lenses that is why I chose to go with 600/11.
Thanks for your suggestions

The EOS R has silent shutter, which is great in any mode, but doesn't allow you to select eye autofocus while you are using it.  Not good under fluorescent lighting though. The camera also uses the bigger LP-E6 N battery and has a better viewfinder than the RP.

I would seriously suggest using the adapter and EF lenses for at least the next two years, because EF lenses work better on the RF mount than on DSLRs in most situations. There is a much bigger choice of EF lenses, particularly used lenses. I bought my EF 16-35mm f/4 for my EOS R, new but on a special offer, for a quarter of the price of the RF 15-35mm.

The RF 35mm f/1.8 is a good choice, but the 600mm is too big and specialised for me. If I were in your place I would look for a kit with one of the two 24-105mms or the 24-240mm.
