Hi everyone,

I have made another Question were i asked which system i should go with, since i plan to switch from my "old" 1DX to an new Mirrorless Camera. I decided to stick with Canon since i have some lenses wich i really like, and i can use all old glas with the new Cameras too!

Now i have a kinda bigger problem: The Canon Eos R is an intersting Camera in my opinion still now, but the R6 has some advanteges, which are still significant for me.
My question now is, if someone used both, what their opionon on the switch was, is it worth the Upgrad, etc.

For those who didn't read my prior thread (so probably no one here), here is what i use it for(text from old thread):

My usecase is, that i make Portrait like Pictures of Animal, and Humans. With that i like photographing Flowers, fow a local Shop, since there is always a verity of them there. If im not creating Photos for an Client, im usually making Landscape and these kind of Portraits.
So my Problem is that i can't really tell with wich one i sould get. One mayor factor is, for me atleast, is the prize to performance. Im Currently transforming Photgraphy to my mane Job, and i get "bigger" contracts here and there. My 1DX is fine, but the Problem is that i can't really shoot silent, and some of my prior clients said, that the pictures were find, and usable, but it would be nicer, if their were sharper, and with more Detail.
I think from the Information i wrote it is clear, why im debating between those two cameras.
My main consern with the R6 is that it maybe has some less Deatil then the R but it has a superior AF, and a Animal AF, which can be useful. On the other side the R6 is like 800-1000€ (956-1195$) more expeniv than the R.
I also know that there were some threads already, but they couldn't really help me. In the end its still going to be my decision, but i need help to figure out which one is the better choise, since both are really good.
Looking forward to your answers

(My current Gear is an 1DX with an 300mm f4. In the bag are an 70-300 Tamron, and a 50 1.8 from Canon and a 85mm 1.4 from Samyang)

Maybe something like a 100mm f/2.8 L Macro would be more helpful?

The Problem with that is that it is a nice lens sure, i thought about buying it, but i still have to deal with some problems. And Noice is one thing. The Shutter of the 1DX is not the quietest. So a new lens won't fix everything.
