Likewise with the lowered price of the 'R' been seriously considering getting one, as a 2nd body in lieu of my 6D II.

Non of the R's noted Cons are a factor for me; overall been well pleased with the R.

The R8 is tempting, but just would prefer having a 2nd R as to same operation, and using the same LP-E6NH battery.

Being in my early 70's just prefer KISS; more than keeping up with the latest, greatest.

I'm right with you (and almost so in age as well).

I'm still doing some professional portrait work, and the R is just fine for that. At this point, I've got three R bodies. If I lost one, I'd replace it with another R body...unless someone wants to give me an R5 as a 70th birthday present.

The R5 is the only camera I'd consider an upgrade for my portrait work, but it's not enough of an upgrade for me to buy one (it wouldn't make me any more money).
