Well, finally bought the R6 MK2. Likely not going to use the 6D (v1) again but will keep as backup.

I am most looking forward to the eye-tracking, IBIS, lighter weight, better AF in very low light and not having to worry about lens adjustments.

Sticking to my EF lenses for now. Want to see how my non-IS lenses perform like the 200 2.8L, 400 5.6L and 70-200 f4 non-IS. Even the original Canon 100 2.8 Macro non-IS.

Like most of my previous purchases within the last 16 years, plan to keep this camera for 8 years or more.

Congrats!!! I took the plunge myself....loving it so far.

Looking forward to your comments and feedback (on AF performance and etc.) regarding your EF lenses in particular the 200/2.8 L. Is that version I or II? I had the II before and I am thinking of repurchasing one for sports.

Hey congrats on the new camera. My 200 2.8L is the original non-IS model. That's why I like the IBIS.

Thanks! So far my EF lenses are working nicely with the new camera. I have yet to try out the IBIS capabilities with my non-IS lenses but I'll be happy if I get 3-4 stops.
