tempted to get that 5Dm4 just to use my older glass. R series seems nice, but just hate the thought of haaving to swap out all my glass to use them or using a bulky adapter

The adapter isn't bulky. I mean, if you're using a 22mm pancake lens, yes it is bulky in comparison. But I've used it on lenses ranging from a 55-250, 50mm, and a sigma 150-600. And mine was the bigger one with the control ring. Never once felt it was bulky.

I used an adapter before to adapt my canon glass to another camera system and it felt very bulky to me. The glass itself was larger than the typical glass for that other system as well as an extra 15 to 20% in length added by the adapter, (depending on the lens) felt like a lot to me.

So you haven't seen or held or used any of the canon-branded EF to RF adapters. Gotcha.

Amazing deal on the R10 with 18-45mm lens, $100 less than Black Friday. Ended up paying the extra $250 to get the 18-150mm bundle back then but wish I'd just waited to get the bundle with 18-45mm for $499. 18-150mm is the nicer lens but wasn't really wanting to pay $250 more and certainly would rather have saved $350. Oh well.

As far as the adapter debate, I do also really prefer using DSLR lenses with DSLRs and as much as possible want to stick with native lenses for mirrorless. And as I really appreciate the large and affordable lens selection of DSLRs so I keep them around still. But adapters aren't as bad when paired with a decently large mirrorless camera at least. It's just especially awkward/unbalanced using them with really compact models.

Adapter is very bulky, you will hate it. R's battery life sucks and RF lenses are freaking expensive if you're switching. (Fuji, sony battery life sucks more though)

If I'd like a good camera that can shoot nice photos (use case is ultralight backpacking and nature photography) as well as 4k 60fps video (use case making product skit videos for use on social media) what camera should I be looking at ? I've liked Cannon but think that perhaps a mirror less Sony might be smaller and more compact ?

Canon is now way behind Sony's mirrorless tech. Now what to do with all these lenses.

I recently switched to a Canon RP for backpacking. It's definitely not ultralight but it is the smallest/lightest full frame Canon mirrorless option. Note that everything about the Canon R line seems larger and heavier than my tiny setup before (Canon SL2 + Canon 10-18mm lens + Sigma 18-250mm lens). Those crop lenses were so much smaller, but the improvement in my photos with my new setup seems like the upgrade is worth it so far.

If you don't want full frame I think the R100 is the smallest and lightest option and can take the smaller crop lenses.

I was thinking the same.

It was a pain when I moved from EF-S to EF and slowly replaced my lenses. I can't imagine doing that again, especially how pricey these RF lenses are. I've been using a 6D2 since they came out but have always wanted to make the jump to the 5D lineup. Especially if I'm ever shooting any action, The 6D (OG and Mark II) series weakness has always been tracking AF.

Plus, am I the only one who still prefers an OVF to an EVF?

Is Full Frame a requirement? Backpacking, where every ounce of weight counts, I'd personally go to a smaller system, crop or micro 4/3 maybe.

I love my Canon full frame setup and collection of lenses. But my "travel kit" is a couple of smaller Fuji bodies with some small, fast prime lenses (12mm, 18mm, 23mm, 35mm).

How is R10 better for some one coming from Canon m5? Canon decided to stop the m series and i don't want another set of series they are going to stop after few years. Is the r series promising for the apsc sensors? Or is it just rebranded with a different name from m series? Also is this a worthy upgrade from m5 considering the price point?

I have 6D for almost 10 years. Do you guys think I should upgrade to "5D Mark IV" or "6D Mark II" maybe? Or other new model？Any suggestions? Thanks.

5D IV is a much better camera than a 6D II. I went from 6D to 5D IV and am very happy. I've used 6D II also and wasn't that impressed by the image quality. However there's a huge difference in price here so if you can't sling for the 5D then maybe the 6D2 would be okay.
