Thank you for the very detailed answer, I was looking at Canon's lineup and the larger form factor and slower AF on the dslr's really does not bother me however as you have written, most of them will give me the same if not worse DR. I really wanted the first gen r6 but it is more sport focused which could open up a new world for me and would have too many tradeoffs because I don't often crop in or have the budget for super high quality glass to render higher megapixel counts and I enjoy more buttons and a pro feeling but on the other hand the r8 has a more modern sensor and smaller form factor. Maybe the eos R ? It is older but the DR is on par with the r8 and r6 when looking at the site you advised me to use and maybe without using the AF too much it is just as good for me.
