I have recently acquired the R as a replacement for my 5D MII. I'm "downsizing"! As much as I would love to get one (or two) of the new RF senses, I'm sticking with my EF lenses. They work fine. My "carrying weight" is reduced. And I'm enjoying photography again.
Mjmoly,
did you consider the RP? Have you considered the RF 24-240mm lens?
What drove your decision between the two cameras?

15k in hiking would be 9.3 miles, 15k in altitude would be 15000 feet, either one you would have to be in good shape, and of course the terrain and the weather are very important factors...Climbed Kilimanjaro years ago, got Mountain Sickness just below 19000 feet and had to go down, here is my Fuji gear in a Newswear Chest Vest that I carried around Alaska for about a month, only weighs 12 pounds but got heavy after a month and even got tired of changing lenses, would weigh less with Olympus or Panasonic or a Bridge Camera with a one inch sensor, but laughable compared to what We carried as a Paratrooper in Viet Nam...

I believe only the 173rd did a jump in 67. Outside of that perhaps a couple more small small jumps by the Marienes, Special forces and and a couple of adviser jumps. That was pretty much it for Vietnam and spelled the end of mass jumps except to get the star for bragging purposes and again limited special operations since. Insertion and removal is by helicopter as more efficient and effective.
I am guessing your jump was with the 173rd?

15K is not even 10 miles.
I am over 65 and even with a shattered knee can walk 15K, with a leg brace. Health not age determines such things, my grandfather was hiking with us grand kids on 10 mile hikes in Oak Creek Canyon until he was in his late 70's.

Are we talking elevation or distance? In either case I guess, good for you.

We are speaking of the PRO model.
So you are horribly confused.

Thank You for Your Service with the Screaming Eagles in Viet Nam ! I volunteered for the Draft in 1967 hoping to be Drafted into the Marines...When I was Drafted into the Army I volunteered for Airborne and Rangers and Special Forces and Viet Nam...After Airborne Training the CO called me into his office and told me I had to Re Up or no Ranger or Special Forces Training and would be sent immediately to Nam,,,I told him send me to Nam when I get home I will Re Up and do Ranger and Special Forces Training,,,,after Nam for some reason I was no longer interested in Ranger School or Special Forces...I missed the Parachute Jump in Nam with the 173rd as I did not get to Nam until 1968...As a former Grunt with the 101st I am sure You know what being a Pack Mule or Pack Animal is all about !!! 101st is a Great Outfit with a long History of Valor !!!

Read what I was responding to. Perhaps you might figure it out.

Once you hit the ground you are a grunt. That is what we always said.

It's the size of the sensor that determines the general size of the lenses. The larger the sensor, the larger the coverage area required of the lens, and the larger the lens has to be to produce the required coverage area.
If you want a small mirrorless camera with small lenses, go with a micro 4/3 camera.
