Yep, those were the right questions to ask, and sensible user-oriented answers.

Agreed Ed. Very helpful Rob, helping me make decisions here too!! I am a former EOS R owner who was disappointed in many things about the camera but the files and IQ- when it functioned as I neede it to they were beautiful. Canon seems to have gotten it right this time so I am willing to try again. Wish I hadn't sold that 24-105L the R came with though!

I think its very important to get experienced photographers perspectives on equipment. What Robamy does is more to what I do for Hobby and relaxation. I love to get out and shoot wildlife and just have fun with then camera.

But for $$ and business purposes, I shoot portraits and weddings and, really, Im in the in-between place right now. Medical issues have forced me to cut back so now i have more time to go out and play and do what other wildlife photographers do. This next month its a week in Glacier, Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons shooting wildlife. I know when to go for bears at the Tetons and at Yellowstone so very excited for next month.

My 1Dx2 and 5D4 are such versatile pieces of equipment. Best I have ever used. But The R5 or R6 really has my interest with animal focus and for regular people portraits, the eye focus features will work well for those things. Not sure I want to mess with 45MP files. But when I hear a guy like Robamy tell be he crops heavy for wildlife needs......My ears perk up....he's using high quality reach (400 F/2.8 and TC's ) and he still wants a 45mp file for cropping needs.....has me a little concerned about the R6 sensor.....dam I wish it was 30Mp like the 5D4...cant have eveything............L​OTS TO THINK ABOUT

To be very honest, if you do have the funds, I think it is a no-brainer to get the R5 over the R6 considering all the extras it brings.

It will still do normal 4K 60 and below as well as Super 35 4k downsampled from 5.6K without overheating, it has 45 MP, more than twice as much as the R6, quite low nois elevels as iso 12800 is still very good, good DR, 17 MP crop mode for photography (IOW, basically the R6, be it in crop mode). And in addition it has some fancy video stuff for occasional use <GDR> ....

HTH, kind regards, Wim

For your line of business, the R6 will suit you perfectly fine. However, if you intend to venture more into wildlife and particularly birding the way Robamy (and I) does, then you do need that 45MP. A few years ago, I upgraded my 5DIII to 5D IV primarily for more room to crop, and it has made a big difference in my bird photography. Now, upgrading (soon) from 5D IV to R5 is going to make a whole lot bigger impact given the R5's AF system along with even more cropability. For wildlife and bird photographers, this is a huge significance.

Thanks! detail rendering is really nice, there's so much you have to scale back on sharpening or it will look crazy.

100% crop

The R6 turned out to be a surprise and I acutely thought about it for a day. I'm the same boat as you.
