Re: R5, R7 and maybe R6II or R6?

Have both the R5 and R7. Use them both. Sometimes I'll grab the R7 when I want a lighter setup. I could probably get as good of a bird photo from either of them. I keep the R5 for possible landscapes but use it for birds as well. The R7 is for birds and street photography. Also the R7 with the RF100-400 is a nice light setup that does a pretty good job for birds.

Now I must say I have also been tempted to add the R6II to my collection. I like the idea of having three bodies. Less lens swapping and different features on all three. Of the three the R6II probably does better in low light. So, I guess my question is does anybody have all three and do you like having the third body? Maybe just add a refurbished R6, I see Canon is offering them for a bit over $2,000. Any thoughts?

I have to say, its definitely not like either the R5 or R7 (and probably the R6II also) just flat can't do anything we might ask of it. For a lot of things, switching between these cameras might make a very small difference, or even no difference. And it is nice to have a capable back up camera, especially on long photo trips. Id hate to be 2000 miles from home, with only 1 capable camera !
