Should I still get an RP when they are on sale for use with my EF lenses?

Re: Should I still get an RP when they are on sale for use with my EF lenses?

Something to keep in mind is you will not be able to use a RF lens on the M6. I looked at your equipment list, 5 RF lens's in your wish list. I found that all my EF lens's work awesome on my R and the RF lens are better yet. Also 5 stops of IS is fantastic (at least at 70 it is How many EF or M lens's have 5 stops

Canon is working on RF Lens's and very little on the M line (one lens a year). The grip is much better on the RP. I never really liked large lens's on my M5, small grip and my little finger under the camera.

I would think you could get a good deal on a used R with all the upgrades to R5 and R6

RF mount is the future EF is dead for new designs and M will be soon
