Great photos! To me that seems like a reasonable trade with the benefit of also giving you a “backup” camera in case anything happens when traveling. However, the R5 really is a spectacular camera that pretty much can “do it all”

Thanks! Yes, I agree. It really is a wonderful camera. And perhaps I should just exclusively shoot with it in crop mode and convince myself to be happy with 17mp, which is perfectly fine most of the time. It's odd to say, but it feels like more camera than I need in many respects but also less effective at the wildlife shots unless paired with a 500mm+ prime.

That’s very similar to my thinking and I ended up with the R7 and R6 and overall I’m happy with the decision.  I don’t do landscape photography but use the R6 for the lowlight situations like in the rainforest where I can usually get nice and close and use the R7 for more open areas where getting close is more challenging.
