Assume that you want a relatively economical solution but similar functionality as R6ii, you may want to consider the followings:

To get IBIS functionality, attaching a gimbal such as Dji RS3 Mini costs a lot less than 1000 dollars.

To extend battery life, an external battery power pack connecting through USB-C is very economical.

Yes, it would end up a bit clumsy to operate (especially the gimbal setup), but gimbal also gives smoothness not achievable by IBIS, while the external battery power pack can easily outlast the internal battery of R6

This is an option that I wasn't aware of. No-brainer for video but maybe for still photography as well.
