So I am looking at second hand options that don’t break the bank and I’m wondering if the original Canon R6 is still good enough to shoot with? Any draw backs I need to watch out for?

I’m shooting with the original R5 so can’t comment specifically other than to say my two kids both shoot with the original R6 and have no problems getting good shots. One uses the RF 100-500 and the other the EF 100-400 with an adapter. Are the newer versions better, probably but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the original R6.

Thanks for that info! I’m looking at second hand bodies. Hope to have some gear of my own again soon.
