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

I upgraded from 6D to R here very recently (1 month ago) and love it! I love that the R handles low light (high ISO) a lot better than my 6D did, focus is much faster and hits where I want it too more often, and the EVF feels like I came from the stone age into the 21st century.  I actually am planning on selling my 6D to a friend of mine who wants to upgrade from his 60D to something full frame for the better ISO control, which I understand. I love my R, and as much as I would have loved an R5, I couldn't justify the price, as I just shoot as a hobby. Also, having 30mp allows me to crop in a lot more than I could with my 6D which makes me happy, especially since I tend to shoot a lot on my 24mm f1.4L. The ONLY downside is the battery life, I got about 350-400 shots on the new LP-E6N that came with the EOS R, but my third-party, chinese made LP-E6's that I never had issues with on my 6D, do not last nearly as long. I'd say more like 250 shots. Luckily, I have 5 of them as my g/f shoots on a 7Dii, so I just keep a charged one in my pocket when I walk around shooting.

I'd recommend upgrading to either an RP or R, as for which, I can't speak on the RP, but I can recommend the R all day long as an upgrade. Also note, I loved my top screen and didn't want to lose it, and the R6 was way too expensive for still 20mp, as I do enjoy cropping (the fun of shooting on all primes lol)
