Re: 5dmkii to a mirrorless Canon

I recently upgraded from a 5D2 to an EOS R.

Some usability quirks, but as expected, a very nice bump in resolution and IQ. Also (the main reason I stuck with Canon) it seems to work seamlessly with my EF lenses.

I was looking at the RP too. Most users seem very happy with the output and it appears to be a noticeable improvement over the 5D2, perhaps halfway between the 5D2 and EOS R.

The main reason I didn't go with the RP is the small battery. It is the same as the one in my 800D and it doesn't last very long in that. I'm very glad I didn't because the EOS R battery life is OK, but not 'great'.

Carrying spare batteries is one thing, having to change them when you are busy shooting something is another. I simply wanted the security of getting a shoot done without faffing with battery changes, The EOS R allows that nicely.
