From 6D to RP? (R?)

I'll give you my point of view as an RP owner.

Hello,

Now the RP is in a very good price so I was considering a change of my still good, old 6D. The main reasons are: it's lighter, better AF and video that I do occasionally and focus stacking - doing lot of macro with my 100 2.8 (non-L)

I've played a bit with focus bracketing on RP and it works great. Canon DPP does a great job stacking the images too, no need for third party software unless you do very serious or professional jobs. See this thread for a small discussion about it and some sample images:

I have some doubts:

- the viewfinder, I'm simply used to that from dslr, I have seen few of mirrorless, and thought Fuji X-T3 has a one that is ok, but I guess RP is not in the same league

Coming from a DSLR I was also fearing the EVF. Actually I had tested some Sony APSCs (I think 6400) and didn't like it at all. However I've been gladly surprised by RP's EVF. Although not the best in market I had no issues adapting to it almost instantly.

- dynamic range - what I already read, I'm not gaining here, which is a pity after those years

Here RP is not great, it has the D6 mark II sensor. As far as i know it's better than D6 but not by much.

- high iso noise - I'm often doing some fire-camp sessions, using ISO 6400

I consider RP good up to 12800 and acceptable (if the alternative is not taking the picture) up to 40000

- generally ergonomics: I'm not sure how I also survive without the top screen..

Ergonomics are great. Light but with good grip. No need for top screen when all the info you need can be shown in the EVF

- battery life

Officially 250 pictures. My experience:
- The first day (I was constantly changing and checking everything) I did less than 150
- The following days I'm doing easily more than 250, probably in the range 300-400

Anyway it's a good idea to have spares for serious sessions or for traveling.

I'd get the set probably with native 24-105 L and 35 1.8 (to replace my Sigma 35 1.4, making set really light). Still keeping 16-35/4 via adapter.

Many of the ticks here would be probably solved by R (not RP), but that is more expensive and I don't know why... has not the focus stacking on board. R5/R6 looks ideal on paper, but R6 is 2.5x more expensive that RP and 1.5 than R.

From your experience, I guess many of you have switched from 6D or 5D II/III to those - do you have some comments?

Sorry I'm not coming from any of those. Actually, coming from a quite old APSC DSLR I may appreciate RP more than the average owner. But anyway hope it helps a bit.
