Any of the higher quality RF lens prices are eye watering. As an amateur photographer, I felt the EF mount L series lenses were reasonably affordable. But that is no longer the case with the RF line L series lenses.
And unlike the EF mount, where there was plenty of options for high quality third party lenses, Canon has stopped allowing third parties to create any RF mounts, so they pretty much dictate the price on the RF lenses.
So even though the camera is amazing, and you you might be getting a good deal on the body, take into account how much you'll have to sink into the native RF lenses in the future, unless of course you go with a EF mount adapter, but then you might be sacrificing some of the benefits of having the native RF mount lens.

It is a small body, meaning cu in the mold of the original 6D, which was the lightest and smallest FF DSLR when it was released about a decade ago… but with a much more robust feature set.
If I wasn't already invested into the Sony ecosystem, this is one of the cameras I would consider moving to.
I know it is apples and oranges, but my Olympus picture is bearly useful at anything higher than 3200 but R6 can produce very useful picture at even 102400.
If you application doesn't call for higher than 24MP, you will be pleasantly surprise by the imagine quality

I haven't found any benefits that are sacrificed by moving to RF, other than the battery (which is considerably less than on a DSLR) and that some of the bulkier/telephoto EF lenses can be awkward to hold on an RF whereas the heavier DSLR counters the balance out better
