As you guys know got R6 wifes has r6ii which i basically claim storm chasing and a RP.

Third and final lens turned up 15/35 2.8L for storms and astro etc.

Will go on RP began shooting with her again bit like meeting your first boyfriend girlfriend you parted ways for something better but not forgotten

Same as the R, RP is a bad camera.

Reckon it should handle astro just fine when i get some clear nights.

Takes nice lightning pics as well

Just reading a few forums, even dedicated canon forums seems to be alot of trolls anti canon posters who claim to be canon. Lifes to short to bicker.

One i read this morning since the release of the canon the whole canon R line they have been plagued with problems from outset sent mine back next day etc my initial thoughts just fibs. Reckon in my 3 years ive had to take batteries in out and maybe 4 or 5 times on 3 cameras to correct error. And once had to take lens off and reconnect what ever the error codes was. Maybe ive been lucky. Had a canon battery that wouldnt take charge after about a month replaced no questions asked thats all my problems.

My biggest problem is poor photographic skills

Mah brother!

I have two (one pre-order and one later) R5s and a EOS-R (bought at release) and I have never had a problem to speak of with any of them...

I even like the multi-function bar on my EOS-R. People hate it and I never understood why.

My problems are always self-generated..

I picked up my R a year after it was releases and my R5 a year after it was released. I think Canon puts out a more stable product than Microsoft®

I read every day on social media the same questions: "How do I...." or "What's the best settings for...." I firmly believe A Book In The Hand Is Worth A Thousand Social Media Posts.

Rather than reading post on Social Media: Learn the craft. >end of rant<

One thing I liked about my R is it had no IBIS. Very useful for many things but for fast action I think IS would be plenty. I can't verify that but a good amount of people on the forums have discussed how the two make it a little jittery in the first few frames. It was worse at one time but Canon did do a FW update for that. I loved my R from day one. It took a while to warm up to the R5. There were days I was sorry I sold my R.

I eventually sold my R5 to finance an R7 and R6II. For my purposes 30mp is the sweet spot for a FF. I was a little sceptical at first but 24mp is working out well. The R6II was a good move. The R did does have case numbers, the FPS was less than stellar and a few other things. Even then the AF was so much fun my 7D2 never came out of the bag for almost 2 years.

I'm not an engineer but a smaller sensor's IBIS would have to make smaller moves to compensate? I dunno. Just some dumb idea I had. Canon has and will continue to improve everything.
