Hi

What would your recomandation for a first step in Full Frame for an hobbyist photographer who start with Canon 20 years ago?

I accumulated quite some EF & EF-S lenses (see my profile), so staying with Canon makes sense.

I prefer landscape, portrait, street & trip photography, rarely animals, never sports.

I have the budget to buy the EOS R8 and the RF 24-105 f/4 L IS USM.

This would be a great choice. But in another post you said you buy a camera once every ten years, and that makes me think it would be worth stretching to the R6 Mark II if you possibly can. It really is a lot more camera, for the reasons that others have already explained. The extra cost isn't that much spread over ten years!

But maybe there is better option.

What do you think? Any suggestion?
