Does anyone regret swapping EOS R for R6?

Does anyone regret swapping EOS R6 (now) for EOS R (before)?
Do you miss anything from EOS R?

Thanks

I guess you could say I cheated at this,  I kept my R.  So now I have both    I really liked my R but for sports it was not the best.  My son in law does auto cross and the R was not up for the job, the R6 is

I think I might miss the extra jingle in my pocket.

If your main interest is wildlife, sport or any fast action photography the EOS R6 will be a much better tool. For any other usage I will definitely keep the R. I could afford to keep my R and sell instead an EOS 7D mark II along with some EF-S lenses to get the EOS R6.

I hope this helps.

I've got both, and the RP. AF on the R6 is much better, as is shooting speed. In all honesty, there's precious little in it as regards IQ - R6 is a bit cleaner at very high ISO settings, R gives you a little more cropping flexibility. 
The big difference is handling. I much prefer the R, to be honest - I'm one of the few that gets on with the touch bar, but even without that, I think that touch and drag AF is the best way of selecting focus point, and that's a fair bit easier and more comfortable on the R than the R6 for me. Why? Because the screen is a little bigger, and the touch area right where my thumb can use it. On the R6, it's more of a stretch. Also, rather to my surprise after using EOS cameras with a rear dial for 30 years, I find that the 4 way touch pad is actually a lot easier to navigate the menus with than the joystick and rear wheel. Also, although this bit is completely irrational, the lack of a top plate LCD irritates me on the R6. I don't miss it on the RP, so why on the R6? Don't know. A much more rational complaint is that the R6 mode dial is much harder to use with the camera to the eye than the RP one - the RP one has a slight overhang over the back of the camera, so is very simple to turn, whereas the R6 one is set back. Perhaps that's because it's thus harder to change accidentally, but it makes it much harder to change deliberately.  Just as well I normally shoot in Fv these days.
I certainly don't regret the R6 in any way, but I do feel Canon made a few missteps with the handling of the camera compared to the two earlier R models - both of them are actually nicer to use.

I pretty much agree with this, except that I do prefer the dial to the top LCD. I can never actually see that darn LCD, and turning on the light for it is a pain.

I did say that bit wasn't logical.

I will add that the battery grip for the R is actually much better than the one for the r5/6. In fact, the R battery grip makes me feel like I'm holding a 1-series camera. It's quite nice.

I don't have the R6 grip, and unless I have to for some reason, I won't buy it - reports aren't good.
The R grip, though, is the best separate grip I've ever used, and the only one that feels like it was actually designed to be part of the camera.

Hello...

I traded in my R for R6 and I’m much happier. My photography is pretty much exclusively bird photography with long lenses.

TY - I am interested in getting the R6.
