I currently own a 5d4 with numerous L lenses. I have been reading up on the R6ii and was wondering if anyone switched from a 5D4 to the R6ii and what are their thoughts and experiences. I do not shoot video, I do shoot indoor hockey and sports as well as family/grandkids photos. I would like to know if you are happy with the upgrade, was it worth it, would you do it again and how is the focusing with the EF lenses. I am interested in upgrading mainly for the improved auto focus and low light improvement. I am concerned about the 24mp vs the 30mp of the 5D4. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Went from 5DMIV to EOS RP couple of years back. Now using the R7 and the R6Mii.

First, you won't miss the 30mp. Not that the IQ of the 5DMIV sensor is bad, to be clear. It's just that the R6Mii IQ, just like the R6, is stunning. Clarity, crispness, color contrast, name it.

Speed and accuracy of AF is not comparable to any other EF-mount or RF-mount camera right now, maybe except the R3. It's funny how it makes me feel like such an accomplished photographer because I nail practically every shot I take, regardless of the subject's speed and regardless of lighting condition.
