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.

I switched from a 1Dxll/5Ds to the R5.

For portraits it makes a huge difference because of the eye AF.

For sports the ML cameras just lock/track focus much better. If you're close enough, say closer than 30 feet it will still use the Eye AF and track better. The R5 ids better than hte 1Dxll most of the time.

Your EF glass will work perfectly.

If one only shoots landscape or architecture etc., mainly things that don't move and don't have eyes it probably will make NO difference at all, keep using the DSLR.
