Re: From 6D to RP? (R?)

All of the other responses provide sufficient info so mine is mostly redundant. I switched from the 6D when the R became available and have not looked back. It is a great camera; I have many good shots of all types of subjects (BIF to flower close-ups, most with EF lenses). Personally, I think it got a bad rap when it came out but it has served my needs and uses wonderfully. The sensor compared to the 6D's is excellent for close crops. As it turned out, I was able to get a R5; unfortunately I have been ill and not able to use it much yet. I will likely sell my R, sadly, since it will be redundant to my R5. The 5's bird/animal focus function, IBIS and larger sensor tipped me to it; being 75 years old, I am guessing this will be my "last" camera as well as my wife's  resistance to my fall-back argument that newer is better. I don't do video and can't afford, at the moment a cf express card so some of the 5's features, at the moment, are lost on me. In any event the R5 is really a luxury for me; otherwise I would have run the first R into the ground.
