It looks like you had the EF 100 and bought the RF 100. Is it worth it? I'm struggling with this decision. I have both types of cameras.

"Worth it" really depends on how you use it. I went with the RF model because I wanted a higher level of magnification, and the 1.4x does make quite a difference compared to 1x of the EF model. For me anything else was more of a "nice to have". Things like no adapter needed, faster AF, better IS (though it's hard to quantify that as it really depends on the person and how they use it).

The SA control is something I don't like. I'll never use it and I find that it's something that I need to watch as the Lock switch has been bumped off before and the rung turned which caused some odd looking shots and initially I thought I had some fogging or haze on the front element. I don't like having to check that when I pull it out of my bag.

The overall image quality between the two is almost indistinguishable, at least to my eyes. They take sharp shots as long as the person using it is doing their job!
