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

I hope you've heard of the easiest way to make money as a photographer: selling your gear. Don't expect it to make money immediately, don't blow all your money on "redundancy" when you can get 95% there with the R8. They share the same sensor and processor, so the images are exactly the same. IBIS i

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

The R6mk2 will give you less noise in low light situations with high ISO. This is primarily due to each pixel on the R6mk2 being larger than on your R10 (and on the R7), so they each can capture more light. Beyond that, the biggest difference is the ergonomics of the cameras and features offered. Th

It really depends what do you shoot. If you want a mirrorless camera equal or better than 5D4, I don't think you will find any Canon camera in a smaller form factor. They are all huge when adding the EF-RF adapter. I would still suggest to go mirrorless because of full time liveview, EVF and lower p

I'm not sure about Canon having big holes in their camera lineup. The R10 is a very handy amateur camera, suitable for shooting almost anything. The R7 is currently a weak point, as it is somewhat buggy and has questionable ergonomics. But the R8 isn't even an amateur camera, it's rather a compact,

Have you looked at the R100 or R50V? The EOS-M line is kind of a dead end and Canon is moving towards the RF/RF-S line with an RF-S not only can you adapt your EF lenses to it, if you do pick up some RF lenses for it down the road, you’ll be in a better position if you later want to upgrade your 6D

Your EOS lens will work on RF mount with an adapter with no loss of function or clarity. The logical upgrade from the 5D MkIII is the R5 MkII but that's over your budget. However a R6 MkII will fit the bill and is a superlitive camera more than equal to the 5D3. (and has two card slots although your

The Best-Kept Secret for the R6 Mark II Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Value for Money) I’ve been using the Canon EF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 on my Canon EOS R6 Mark II, and I honestly couldn't be more surprised. In an era where everyone is chasing 2000€ glass, this "budget" lens is a hidden gem. While it’s not a low
