Hello,

I'm an enthusiast stills 6D shooter - landscapes, colorful night skies, city streets, and macro, but generally not portraits as according to my wife I have a gift for capturing unflattering images of people. Having said that, I'm pretty good with cats!

Most of the time, I shoot with a tripod for sharp shots as my hands do imperceptably shake a bit at times.

The R6 MKll has been on my radar screen and I've requested an in-stock alert. Then comes the R8. Price and functionality could justify pre-ordering it right now! I've gotten over my grumbling about the small battery as it looks like I can order an RP battery grip. The bigger question is ibis vs. no ibis.

The notion of a light weight R body with a few modern RF lenses for hand-held shots is enticing. Hand-held video is a great option but it's not my priority.

If I order the R8, will I regret not having ibis???

Thoughts? Recommendations?

I would not buy another body without IBIS. Yes when every thing is great you can get buy with out it but what about if you just ran to get to the perfect spot in time ? You will need every advantage you can get. Think of the WORST case not the BEST.
