Although the sensor is smaller than the other two. If you go for the Canon EOS R6 you get most of the spec of the R5 but without the video capability. If that works it would make the R5 a worthwhile purchase. However, if you are a wildlife or sports photographer then the 8K to stills option on the R5 may be revolutionary.
