I have been considering a mirrorless camera. Currently I have a Canon 6D Mark ll, and a Canon 90D. One of those will probably be traded in. Which would you keep and why? Thanks.

It depends on what kind of photography you do mostly. The 90D would be the one I'd stick with only because I would like to have one full frame and one with the crop sensor for sports/wildlife. It gives me more effective reach with my long lenses and a very fast frame rate for that type of photography. I don't think I'd need 2 full frame cameras for what I do.

The opposite option is to wait to see the APS-C mirrorless "R" format that is rumored to be coming out and keep the 6D Mk II

I am not one to play at being the expert by saying “it all depends on what sort of photography you do”. If it’s not a swing lens panoramic or a view camera, then most any good camera will do whatever you need and do it quite well.

I’d let go of the 90D. APSC bodies that are the size of FF bodies are against my religion, with no regard for what type of photography I do.

Another thing to consider is the current lenses you have, and which you might like to use on the mirrorless. You can use both EF and EF-S lenses on Canon's FF mirrorless cameras with the EOS RF adapter. However you do lose use of 60% of the pixels when using an EF-S lens on a FF mirrorless.

Depends on which mirrorless model you are looking to buy. Assuming you are going to stick with Canon then the R will do everything the 6DII will and much more. I sold my 5DIV after I got my R and have no regrets. I also sold my 7DII. You may want to keep your 90D if you do a lot of wildlife. If you are looking at the R5 then I would sell both the 6D and the 90D. Odds are you won't use either again. I'm just waiting for B&H to get more in so that I can get mine. With the R5's auto-focus and pixel count I doubt you will have much use for your 90D even for wildlife. I shoot a wide variety of subjects and have found that the R has replaced both of my previous cameras quite successfully. Besides, even though the EF lenses work just fine on the R cameras, I chose to sell my EF lenses (except my 100-400 L II) and make the switch to RF. Having, in effect, two different camera systems doesn't appeal to me. I no longer need to pack two cameras and an assortment of lenses. One camera and one or two lenses is usually all I need for any photo outing.
Whatever you get I don't doubt that you will find mirrorless to be a noticeable improvement in a number of ways. Especially the auto-focus.
Enjoy!

keep the 90D

Please consider the R6 rather than the R, I promise you will be happier in the long run even if you have to pay a few extra bucks.

I agree with LFingar. I just bought the r5 mirrorless. If you wantt the 1.6 crop factor for wildlife, guess what? You can set it up in the r5 and voila, a 200mm has the reach of 320mm. What you give up is pixels. Since it crops the sensor, your 45 mp sensor is reduced to around the equivalent of my 80d. Trying to decide if I should sell my 80D....

Canon is suppose to release a crop sensor mirrorless to replace the 90D this coming year. The Canon R7 should be out before the end of the year. I think that will probably be my second body if I ever sell my 5DIV. Like you I currently own an R5 but I am sure that the R7 will be pixel rich making it better for birding, personally I don't use the crop factor ability of the R5, I prefer to crop in post, also aids in clipping issues with long lenses when your subjects are fast moving.

A number of years back I got a EOS M2 because it came with 3 lens, the adapter and flash. It was a nice small camera with interchangeable lens. Later I bought the 18-150mm zoom from Canon refurbished. Best decision I made. Very nice and sharp. Probably because they refurbished it. I like it because I can put it in my coat pocket and have it handy if I see something interesting. I don't need to have it hanging around my neck. I am hoping the M7 will come out. Depending on features, I may go with the M6 mkII. My wife is always asking what I want for my birthday (September) or Christmas. For a nice small camera with interchangeable lens, the Canon M series is very nice. I also have a bunch of EF lens for my 6D.

I think the M6 II does a good job of replacing the 90D, same sensor.

Yeah, but we love over kill, I currently have the R5 and can crop an image pretty tight and still get good results, my previous high pixel camera was a 5DSR and the R5 is actually a step up because of its much improved dynamic range. The thing about the R7 is that it will have a really high pixel count and even improved dynamic range over the 90D. Things keep moving forward and the Canon R line has seen a vast improvement with the release of the R5/R6. I expect that the R7 will be a big improvement over the M series, but that remains to be seen. Another thing to consider is the adapters, I would prefer to stick with the RF adapters and eventually may even consider some of the newer RF lenses. I have several high performance EF lenses so have been slow to move to RF lenses because for one they are quite expensive, but I do like the RF 24-105 f/4 L that came with my first EOS R, the RF line is impressive but like I said very expensive and I already have several thousand dollars invested in what were considered to be some of the best performing lenses in their class when I purchased them.

When I got a 5D, I just stopped using my 40D. Il ives in a drawer somewhere because I won't sell it. Give it away maybe. Probably a carryover from my field trial dogs. When one has done well for me, I'll never sell it, just doesn't seem right or fair. And of course they all get old. Bitches are of no use except for maybe pets as old bitches can't have puppies. Males if they have produced well can often sire litters at an advanced age. Harry
