If I owned a beast like R5 I would keep it, I would also just add R7 just for fun.

I see you have the R...have you shot with the R5 vs R for landscapes and stationary scenes? Curiously if you have thoughts on the comparison for that purpose. Thanks!

No experience with R5 but R is very lovely for stationary subjects, excellent dynamic range and image quality.

I just don't think that downgrading from R5 to R is worth it financially.

Yeah, I hear you. Here's my financials on it for what it's worth.

Canon R5 refurbished: $3509

Canon 3yr CarePak for R5 (protection for everything basically): $244

I believe this can be sold given the transferable protection for $3250

Net loss from this: ~$500 (for a year of use)

Refurbished R: $900

R7: $1500

Cost outlay: $2400

Net gain: ~800 (excluding taxes though so that eats into this)
