EOS R6

If you have no skills, you’re still likely to take lousy photos whether you have $100 worth of gear or $20,000 worth of gear. Once you have a certain level of skill, lower quality gear can absolutely hold you back, especially if you’re shooting fast-moving subjects or in low light. Sports photograph

Here's a technical comparison https://www.rtings.com/camera/tools/compare/canon-eos-r6-mark-ii-vs-nikon-z-6iii/36079/51765?threshold=0.16 Photography wise they're both excellent and will come down to preference of what feels better in your hands and which UI you prefer If you have interest in video

Personally, I would get the R6 MK II in your scenario. The EOS R is, as you noted, basically the same camera as your 5D MK IV but with slightly better AF and only one card slot. The R6 MK II will give you a second card slot, vastly superior AF, and IBIS. The body is about the same size as the R btw.

As an R5 II owner (using it for bird photography) I think the R6 Mark III might be a better fit for your use case. It's a lot cheaper than the R5 II and has maybe a slight edge in overall video performance (here's a detailed feature comparison). You'd get a lot of advantages over the R. To name a fe

depends on the price. the 6d2 has some minor drawbacks: - the dynamic range isn't great. it's a late outlier in canons sensor portfolio, it has basically the dr of the 5d3, which isn't great. both the 5d4 as well as all full frame r series cameras (aside from the rp) have much improved dynamic range

Generally lenses are a better investment than upgrading to a new body unless there is something specific you need from a new body. How is your R6 holding you back, or what do you think an R5 II would give you that would help your photography? Personally you got at least 2 lenses I would replace ASAP

I switched from canon to Sony when the a7r II came out and tbh I loved it, I thought the colours were great and it really rekindled my passion for photography. I switched it out for a couple of a7iiis because of the autofocus and it was so much better for weddings but then I didn’t change them again

Look for a Canon EOS R8? Same sensor and autofocus of R6 Mk ii, but less "pro" body and a lot cheaper.

Canon replaced most of the old DSLR flagship bodies with new mirrorless ones and retained the version numbering: 1D(x) -> R15D -> R56D -> R6...7D -> R7 7D was always the flagship APS-C body designed for sport and wildlife, you got better reach, faster AF and FPS, but you got a sensor with way lower

So, this tends to upset some people but I was very disappointed with the Rp. It's not a bad camera, but the sensor technology was a real letdown when it came out, and one of Canon's bigger mis-steps in the otherwise excellent EOS R line. Essentially, the Rp sensor is old, noisy, and slow compared to
