I have an RP since its launch (eons ago?). The exposure is the key. 'Well' exposed pictures -- requiring minimal boosting of the dark areas, will come clean of noise at high ISO values. I shoot RAW and use Capture One as my RAW processor. I came from a 7D and a 6D.

This issue is mostly related in the need to get better rendition of dark areas, like backlit pictures. A bit of over exposure may go a long way. As one poster noted, this issue may not really exist, and the Canon colors are worth the potential problems.

And today, the issue of noise is non sequitur with tools like Topaz AI.

After 1000s of RP pictures, I still feel it is a very decent and useable camera. Sill the most affordable Full Frame, with all the pros and cons of the format.

But it is an entry level body and if budget is no object, a R6 II may serve you better in the longer term. At three times the price.

Even right now I tend to expose to the right. I'm assuming that what you mean is I can reduce the exposure and not have to lift any shadows to keep noise to the bare minimum?

Yes. If short of light, increasing the ISO may also work.
