Canon has multiple refurbished cameras and lenses on a deeper discount than normal. The R6 Mark II refurb is going for $1799.99 and lenses like the RF 35mm f/1.8 for $299 (normally $399 refurb or $499 new) Black Friday pricing for the refurb RF 35mm f/1.8 was $250 so this isn't far off.
Promotion is ending on February 29, 2024. Refurb stock does not stay long according to the canon rep I called today.
Call the Canon Upgrade program number (1-866-443-8002) to receive an extra discount if you qualify for it using an older canon camera and/or lens. I received an extra 10% off the refurb price ordering the 35mm after calling and using my kit lens serial number for the program.

edit: Nice, got it for additional 10% discount after Canon upgrade program.
RP for $600 is about a 1.5yr old deal - good price, not the best, but not likely to get much cheaper. Watching and picking up an R or R8 refurb would be better to spend a little more.

I have an R7, R6, and Sony A9, and had an R5 and R50, A7RIii. Can't say I've tried Fuji, the AF on the canons are impressive for a hobbyist like me. Are the Fujis faster than an R8 when shooting BIF?
I would opt for the R50 honestly, it's just overall a much better camera and much better value than the r100. The R100 is using a processor and sensor from 2018, the same one found in the M50 II. The R50 uses the same processor as the R3 - quite a leap in speed and autofocus imo over the R100 and it has the same sensor as the R10. Plus you get a flippy touchscreen with the R50, the R100 just has a regular LCD with no touchscreen.
I would rather spend the extra ~$160 for the refurb R50 kit over the R100 kit right now. It's a much more versatile and usable camera overall.

My brother shoots a lot of birds with the x-t3, but I think the h2s is maybe the one if you wanted the latest, fast autofocus. I honestly don't know how it compares to Canon at the moment though. I've been a little out of the loop though since I haven't had the budget or need to be getting the latest cameras. I'm pretty happy with my xt30. With a pancake lens, it's awesome for travel. I imagine it might feel a bit unbalanced with a long zoom on it for birding. Out of curiosity, which of those that you've had is best for BIF?
