It sounds like for your use case the Eos R could be a good fit. Battery life will not be as good as a Dslr like the 5DIV though. What kind of lenses are you using with your current setup, EF-S or EF? On the comparison to the R6 you could possibly score one during Black Friday for a great deal, I think they were selling Canon refurbished ones for $1300-$1400 earlier this year so I imagine we will see similar deals. It really depends on if you’d prefer the higher 30mp sensors of the R or 5DIV or you’d be okay with the 20 on the R6. Answer from joetographic on reddit.com

Canon EOS RP Review 2026 (Entry-Level & Full Frame)
December 24, 2025 - The EOS RP is built around Canon’s full frame mirrorless mount, the RF mount. Introduced in 2018, this system was not yet very popular. But it is now fairly well-supplied with RF lenses. It changed thanks to the release of two professional camera models, the Canon EOS R5 and the Canon EOS R6.

They haven’t confirmed the release of anything yet. The one that’s been heavily hinted at as being next (from the canonrumors/canonwatch/etc websites), is the R7 - which will supposedly be a crop sensor RF mount. But with the chip shortages and supply problems, it’s really anyone’s guess as to when any of these cameras will be released. More on reddit.com

Is the RP a good camera?
If you're not going to go with the RP then look at the R8. The RP was my first full frame and held me down for 3 years while I learned a lot. I've had the R8 for about 4 months now. Both are great beginner cameras in the R lineup. More on reddit.com

Is the Canon eos RP in 2025 a good choice?
The RPs an absolute bargain now, it's a joy to use in the real world, it's lightweight, pretty quick in AF-S, fits perfectly in the hand & above all really fun!  Look beyond just the spec sheet, the RP is vastly greater than the sum of its parts!  It has some nice extras like focus stacking & time lapse. Learn it's minor limitations & it's a fantastic modern full framer.  & All those cheaper RF primes are excellent, especially the super wide 16mm. Get the 50mm too & for everyday stuff, landscapes, cityscapes, street, architecture, portraits, macro etc you'll be good to go!  The RPs perfect for getting going; Learn your skills & moving subjects/wildlife etc won't be an issue at all either. The sensors DR is perfectly fine  99% of the time, plus the sensor has real character! The 1080s perfectly nice, it's definitely not a 4k camera though!  Go for it, & hey if for any reason it's not for you just sell it for what you bought it for, it'll hold £500 or Euros easily. Above all enjoy your journey my friend!  🙏 More on reddit.com
