I think that’s true if a lot of “upgrades”. They aren’t necessarily about improving already good results. But they are about reducing the number of stinkers and making good results easier to obtain.

So would you say that mirrorless and RP's functions make the shooting experience more productive? (ie not needing to check each pic taken as what you see is what you get, etc...)

For me, it’s both WYSIWYG nature of the EVF, with things like a level and histogram in the EVF while you’re shooting.  Having three wheels (with control ring lenses) to change settings on the fly, and the much more obvious confirmation of focus with the EVF vs 9 tiny little red dots in the OVF of the SL1.  All that works for a better shooting experience for me.  I also discovered that I enjoy focus bracketing.  As the RP does that automatically without special equipment, it’s a cool thing for this amateur to explore.

The RP wouldn’t improve on the OP’s fantastic SL1 pictures. But for me, it cut way down on my misses. Honestly we missed the reach of our APS-C sensor enough that we added an M6II for my wife. She never liked the size of the RP.

What is the pb with the RP for your wife? too heavy? because it's actually not big...

I think that was two fold.  The 24-240 is much bigger than the Sigma 18-250 we were using.  And WAY bigger than the equivalent reach of the EF-M 18-150. Second, I really took to the RP and she wanted her own toys. 😁. As we never used full frame DSLR’s, the body isn’t a lot bigger than the SL1, but lenses are.
