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!

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

As far as the RP vs the R, it’s not like a disposable instant camera vs a professional medium format. The images aren’t that much different. And, if you like focus stacking, the RP has automatic whereas the R does not.

Defensiveness aside 😁, as far as touch and drag focus, it’s customizable.  I have mine set up as the top right quarter of the back screen that covers all focus points. I also have it set up as ‘relative’.  That means wherever I touch the screen, it’s read as the current focus point and I just move from there.

You can set it up as top, bottom, left, right, full screen, relative or exact (the middle is the middle always).  Very customizable for whatever is easiest for you to reach.  True of both the R and the RP.
