I do have to say, so really like what I’m seeing with Canon at the moment. I don’t anticipate a switch any time soon, but I’ve been sufficiently impressed with both the lenses and the rate of improvement from their first bodies to these. As a result I decided to dip my toes in the RF mount. I can’t justify buying a new R6 or R5 for what will be a secondary system, but I picked up an RP with the slow 24-105 kit for a steal on Greentoe, and found a like new in box used RF 35/1.8 for $375 at my local store today. Should be fun to dabble in the system and have a base for reviewing RF bodies and lenses for a while. If I like what I see over the next year or so, I may consider picking up an R5 when they come down in price, and start transitioning, but a lot will depend on how Canon progresses and Sony continues with their stuff.
