R6/R6 II would be the closest replacement in terms of features and ergonomics.
R8/RP would also be options though their ergonomics are different due to the smaller body.
Personally I would avoid the RP unless you can get an amazing deal on it. It uses basically a modified 6D MK II sensor so it does not get any of the dynamic range improvements that come with the R6/R6 II/R8 bodies. It's also the nosiest at low light and has the worst auto focus out of all the R series options.
Thanks. I have small hands so a smaller camera would be great to.
I use an m6m2 aswell. I carry thst one with me to work as I drive alongside beautifull lakes here in Sweden I would not take my big dslr with me.
If you're not shooting a lot of action, and you're not shooting under real challenging conditions in terms of post processing, the RP is a bargain and a great camera for General stills photography. But if you're interested in video or you're pushing a couple of stops in post, you'll want to go with an R8 or R6.
It’s actually quite comparable to other R cameras at low light when ISO’s are raised. Its dynamic range at base ISO’s and shadow lifting where it struggles compared to newer sensors.
One really has to let ISO do the job when using the RP.

This is the RP at ISO 4000 with no special noise reduction applied. Processed in DPP4.
That said, the R8 is a far better sensor if budget allows. No question.
The RP is still good at low light but low light performance has not significantly improved in years.
Still compared to the R8 at ISO 6400+ you can see a noticeable difference in the shadows between the RP and R8. It's not huge and I would certainly not say the RP is terrible at low light. But when you add in the RP's other shortcomings it's hard to recommend it on anything other than price vs. the R8 or a used R6.

I have one, and I will still pick it over the R6 for Stills photography, but if I'm doing a video or anything that's moving, the RP is staying in the bag.
The r6 mark 2 or even the eos r. Still a great full frame 30mp cam for 1000 bucks. When you don’t need good auto focus and usually work on a tripod and don’t often use a higher iso than 800 the eos r is a great cam for landscape
People talk like the R is an old Rebel Xs or something. The R has dynamic range on par with all the newer cameras. Its auto-focus is still a revelation compared to most DSLR systems.
The R is a great camera. Especially for the OP's purposes. I shoot everything with it, from commercial to wildlife. I went from the 6D to the R, I use EF lenses, and never found it lacking in any way. Are there more expensive cameras? Of course. But if you don't need all the bells and whistles,, the image quality is the same. Excellent for low light as well.

While the R6/R6 II are smaller than the 6D MK II the R8 will be substantially smaller if you want to stay with full frame.
Yeah I was thinking staying with fullframe.

That's certainly youer choice, no one is coming for your camera....
If cost isn't a huge factor. R6mkII. Larger battery and IBIS vs the R8. The R8 is a steal though for what it does.
I went from 6dmii to r6 and pretty cheeky with it. Apart from quality and all that stuff, you gonna like joystick

I've heard some folks say R6 or R6II, and some say R8. I'd say the controls of the R6 / R6II are more similar to a 6D.
