Will I regret getting a Canon RP? (cameradecision.com)

As an enthusiast that takes portraits, travel, some macro, some wildlife, and a desire to do more sports and birding; I've always wanted to upgrade my SL1 to a full frame sensor/mirrorless.

Price is a big deal for me, and I want to buy once cry once--i want a camera that will last me the next 8+ years. Reviews on the RP look great, and I don't pretend to be an expert--im confused though, because while the R6 mkii has a few nice features I can't see why it costs ~twice~ as much. Is the R6 mkii worth the upgrade, and/or will it be more future proof?

It was pretty well-documented - here's one source. Most of the manufacturers have some sort of limits or controls on third-party lenses, usually with patents that should have failed the obviousness test. I believe the state of the mirrorless ecosystem is:

Third-party AF lenses forbidden:

  • Canon RF

Third-party lenses approved on a case-by-case basis:

  • Fuji X
  • Fuji GFX
  • Nikon Z

Open (some may charge a license fee):

  • Sony E
  • Micro four-thirds
  • L-mount

Well that's kinda awful... makes the whole segment even less attractive.
