I have no idea why anyone would recommend those two cameras as your only options, the RP or the R6. That's like recommending either a Ford Focus or Mustang: there are so many options in between. The RP is $999 and the R6 is $2,499. The R is $1,799 and outperforms the RP in most ways, not the least of which is resolution and dynamic range. And what about an M camera with an adapted EF lens?

Why didn't anyone mention the R? Or did they mention it and you didn't feel like it was worth hundreds more than the RP? Jumping from an SX50 to an R6 is just an enormous leap. Even going to the R would be quite a steep learning curve.

There's also a slew of bodies from other brands (X-S10, E-M5 III, Nikon Z5, Nikon Z6, Sony A7 III, Sony A7R II, etc.) that could also suit her needs. It's odd that they only offered her two choices...
