Hi,

I thought I will add to the thread my final decision. So in the end I bought the R.

I'm really pleased, especially with:

- great viewfinder, that was my main concern, now having that one I find it much useful than the 6D

- the dynamic range. I can clearly see how much I can recover definitely a step up here

- battery life is not that bad, I was shooting in winter conditions for the whole day and still had more than 50%

Few other things:

- when using the 16-35/4 L via the adapter I find the zoom ring now in a batter place however the setup is longer

- I had to upgrade to LR Classic with subscription now, but found that it is much faster on the same computer, than my previous 5.7

- I had to sell the Sigma 35 1.4 to fund the body and took RF 50 1.8, but it is clearly not that good as the Sigma

For those who hesitate I really recommend the R as a 6D replacement!

Beautiful shots. I have yet to make the jump to mirrorless as a main system. Good thing you chose the EOS R. More expensive than the RP but worthwhile I imagine. I had tried both the RP and X-T3 and found the EVF on the RP much more natural looking! On the Fuji it was like looking at an electronic device really. Can’t imagine the R which is even better than the RP. For the battery performance, did you keep the camera on during the day with the camera going to sleep automatically, or you turned it off from time to time?

As for choosing a focus point, I imagine you use the screen for touch and drag? Depending on your hand size, can you reach the screen with your thumb with ease while keeping a good grasp on the grip? I’m worried about that point as my hands are on the smaller side. And did you find the grip of the EOS R very different from that of your old 6D? The feeling in hand. Thanks for your time and enjoy your new tool!

Ok, my few last shots with it:

It is amazing how a lens hood can give an air of professionalism to whatever kit I may have.
