Canon EOS R6 Mark II 24.2MP Full Frame Mirrorless Digital Camera Body (Black) Expired

I missed the Canon refurb deals (was looking at 90d with 18-135 for $799 or R7 with rf 18-150 for $1199), all of the full frame deals with body features that I wanted were well out of my budget, at least from Canon and Sony, and the Panasonic S5 II deals were much better this year (from what I have seen), and it seems a lot of people put the S5 II in the same league features/performance wise as the R6 mk II or the Sony A7 III or IV, depending on use case.

Up till now I wasn't really interested in full frame given in addition to the prices of the full featured bodies, the EF/RF lenses are typically out of my budget, especially when looking for reach. Crop sensor and EF-S seems to be much more budget friendly, especially when looking for long reach, so over time I have been picking up either EF or EF-S when there is a deal, so that is the mix of glass that I own (all cheap and old stuff though). I figured I was stuck with Canon and would just need to save more towards the R7,, which looks like a badass crop sensor camera... with it's biggest limitation as with all crop sensor cameras being low light usage I think.

After seeing that people are having pretty good experiences with the Sigma MC-21 EF->L Mount adapter to use EF/EF-S lenses on the S5 II, including functioning electronics, autosetting APS-C mode, autofocus, IS sync, etc... I spontaneously jumped on the S5 II with seemingly popular 20-60mm kit lenses for $1685 (which with tax was $1802) which left just enough budget room to pick up that Sigma EF to L mount adapter to see for myself. I normally do a lot more research, but after missing out on the Canon refurb deals because I was researching... I jumped since there was only one of the S5 IIs at that price.

This R6 mkII deal is obv more expensive... the nonL $2300 kit deal specifically has me wondering...

Anyone looking at this deal that has an S5 II already, and for some reason is looking to replace it with this R6 mkII? I have been researching ever since placing that order, and so far a lot of people seem happy with all of the improvements of the S5 II over the original S5, with many replacing Canon and Sony systems with it, at least as a secondary... but I dunno if I am just getting sucked into youtube hype or if the S5 II is really comparable, or if I should sell some plasma or something to stretch my budget to this R6 mkII.

This is for hybrid / all around use BTW as a hobbyist, both video and photography, including family activities ; portrait kind of stuff, landscapes, product pics, run and gun video, some low light stuff, basically looking for one cam that is good enough for most common use cases, and will last me several years.

IMHO, stick with 90D and the original lenses you already have. For the purposes you mentioned, the 90D is plenty and some more. Granted, the refurb one's are not in stock currently but check back regularly. Subscribe to get notified once the item gets back in stock. I am getting notified from canon for the items that are getting back in stock and i ordered a 50mm refurb prime lens a couple of days back.

Does canon do price adjustment? I had gotten a 20% loyalty off when the bundle was 3399 with f4 24-105 lens 14 days ago.

If it's more than 14 days ago they don't price match it seems even if it's within extended holiday return period. I just got off the call with their sales team, instead they initiated RMA and placed a new order with using the same loyalty program

they told me no as well, will they take a return even if the camera is now opened and used
