"A Tale of Two Bodies"
A while back, when I had a 5Div and one of the M's for a secondary body / backup, I grew to be very disappointed in my APS-C results (another topic for another day) so when the RP became available, selling my EF-M lenses and body and getting the smallest and lightest full frame Canon camera at an almost financial wash seemed a no-brainer. I'd have two FF cameras, one an amazing pro-level and the other more portable. The RP got me hooked. I soon was using the RP as my primary camera, able to get some very reasonable images with adapted EF lenses, and the DSLR was sitting. Histogram in the EVF, exposure simulation, and almost DSLR controls wooed me. Despite some limitations, the mirrorless world got me hooked. Over time, I was able to get an R5 and sell the 5Div. Everyone should have these problems (insert sarcasm Emoji here) but that is my recent history.
Now, I have been taken with the R5. The RP is sitting. I have carried both cameras to have two different lens combinations and the RP just is not the same. Maybe the RP "love affair" is over. I am not ready to sell the secondary body nor can I afford to get a different "image capturing mistress." I have thought about an R or an R6, but it won't happen.
Just throwing this out there for your thoughts. I am going to be loyal to my present camera family but........
