I love my R. It got a lot of hate from the 'pro' communities, especially the touch bar, which I could never understand. The R files are just the right size for me, they capture enough detail for cropping easily but don't clog up my hard drives so fast. And I love the touch bar, I use it to change the focus point sizes, wonderful for changing from sitting birds to flying subjects. For the price range I find it's an excellent full frame.
 
For me has been the ideal camera in the past couple of years. Even I'm not using the touch bar I don't really care!. As you said 30 mp are enough for me too and the images have the quality I need so upgrading to a R5 or R6 Mk2 hasn't been really a necessity so I can think about it when this cameras gets cheaper used.
 
Took the R, 15-35mm f/2.8 L is and EF 70-200mm f/2.8L is ii out of this morning and pretty much just struggled to find potential shots and got more discouraged by the minute. I had intended to used the wide zoom but switched to the longer zoom in short order.

Yeah that's my plan, to buy used. The R is the only camera I ever bought new - I had a 6D and a 5dii with nearly 300,000 click on it. Thse things just don't wear out. The only thing I had to replace on the 5dii was the rubber at around 150,000 clicks. I got a set off eBay and put it on, easy-peasy. Looked brand new after that.

All my gear was bought used - funnily enough I had to send the R in to get a chip fixed - I had never dropped it or banged it but it just started losing functions which even a reset didn't help. Yet the old used dslrs never needed any work done on them.

So the next backup camera I buy may be a 5DIV instead of a mirrorless.
 
We've had a perma-cloud hovering over the city for 2 weeks here in Toronto.....can't wait to see the sun, hopefully before February. Luckily we had fog one of those days.

Love those fog photos. Is that the Polar Plunge or just some local crazy? (jk, lol)
