Just wondering if any of the UHH'ers, and I'm sure there are, have the 6D MarkII and how do they like it? I have the 80D which is probably a step below the 6D and am thinking about a full frame sensor camera. Not sure about the EOS R,yet, but since I have lenses and equipment for the EOS series, I'll stay with that and not another system. Of cause I'll check out the camera before I decide, but is it worth it? Appreciate any thoughts, Yea or Ney.
What are your reservations about the EOS R? Actually, the EOS RP is closer to the 6DII then the EOS R. Essentially the same sensor at a very reasonable price, although, the 6DII is currently priced the same as the EOS RP. Until the sale ends, anyway. I love my 5DIV and hated the idea of the market moving towards mirrorless. Until Canon came out with their full frame EOS R that is. I took the plunge a few months ago and bought the EOS R and the RF 24-105 f/4 L. I have barely touched the 5DIV since then. In fact, I've thought about selling it rather then letting it just sit on the shelf and collect dust. I have yet to find anything of consequence that the 5DIV can do that the EOS R can't do as well or often better. I really think you would find the comparison between the 6DII and the EOS RP to be about the same. The auto focus is the big thing for me. It is spot on virtually every time. The 5DIV does a good job in auto focus but the R is near perfect. I recently bought a 2x extender to use with my 100-400 L II. That combo on the 5DIV would leave me with no auto focus. On the R I have full auto focus capability. The new RF lenses for the R and RP seem to be exceptional, based on my experience with the RF 24-105, plus, with the included adapter I can use any EF lens as well as EF-s lenses if I had any. All of my EF lenses work as well or better on the R.
So, you might want to take a closer look at the RP or the R , if you have the budget. I very much doubt that you would be disappointed in either.
