>>3449085>And 2019 you'll still end up with an equal package where you trade battery life and proper movie modes for evf, dpaf and slightly more pickles. There is no significant improvement to the 6D.Both the 6D2 and RP significantly improve on the 6D in terms of features. I won't shit on any modern ILC because they're all good and provide much better IQ than most photographers have had over the history of photography. But I would personally rather have the 6D2 or RP over the 6D for the improved feature set.
The sensor is not a huge leap forward but those are rare. Speaking strictly about sensor IQ for stills, is the A73 a huge leap over the A72? Or A7? Most of Sony's innovations have come in AF, which was shit in the beginning, and video.
>Whoever takes the RP into consideration will be equally happy with a used 6D and 1000 bucks more on the bank account. Canon 6D's go for $500-$600 in good condition. The RP is $1,300 brand new, with EF adapter and base plate if that offer is still going.
>I'd be very happy with a second hand EOS R without banding issues, at about 70% of the suggested retail price.Banding was a 5D3 issue. On any other modern Canon noise limits your base ISO shadow latitude, not banding. The 5D IV is probably Canon's best at base ISO DR (damn close to the D8x0's), with the R slightly behind. (Same sensor but more noise, probably because it's on all the time for the EVF.)
Canon's upper bodies should have lower prices. And I say that as a Canon user and (obviously) huge fan of the 5Ds and their lenses. Looking at gray market prices sometimes I wonder if Canon purposely plays that game. You can get a 5DsR or 5D IV for $2k right now, gray market new. You can get the R for $1,800 and the 5Ds for $1,900 (a steal). Maybe they figure they can inflate the US MSRP and squeeze CPS users while everyone else goes to eBay.
