  1. GeooeG –

    First, let me state, I am a photographer, not a videographer. So, I don’t use the video features and will not be reviewing those. I have been a long time Canon user. I started with a 630 SLR, then moved to digital with an XT, T2i, 6D and now the RP. The main driver for this purchase was a 2 week trip to Ireland this fall. I wanted to find smaller camera. After doing a bunch of research, it came down to the Canon R or RP. (I am sticking with Canon because I own several “L” lenses.) I decided on the RP over the R primarily on price. I have been testing the camera for various situations like landscape, street, flowers/macro, etc. and have been very, very happy with the results. Specifically, I am really thrilled with the electronic viewfinder. There are several aspects of the EVF that are a significant improvement:
    (1) the EVF is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get. So when shooting in Manual, you see the effect of changing the F-stop, aperture, ISO as you change it. No more fishing for the depth-of-field button like on the 6D to see what is in focus.
    (2) seeing the light meter and histogram live in the viewfinder … huge to be able to keep the camera at my eye and be able to assess the light levels when composing a shot.
    (3) touch screen to move the focus point and see that in the viewfinder (along with a huge improvement in the AF function thanks to dual pixel).
    (4) ability to review shots in the EVF … at 57, I need reading glasses to see up close and now I can skip the glasses and just review shots in the EVF in focus!!!
    There are a bunch of features I have yet to explore (4K time-lapse, focus bracketing, etc.) I don’t find issues with hanging heavier lenses on a light body. I have only used my 24-105 F4 L Mark I with the RF/EF adapter so far and I have not had any issues with balance.
    Pros:
    EVF
    Dual-pixel autofocus
    Touchscreen
    RF to EF lens adaptor
    Controls are well laid out
    Built in intervalometer!!!
    Cons:
    Body is a bit small for big hands, but I plan to purchase the grip extender.
    Battery life is quoted at 250 photos, but most reviewers got way more than that. I have yet to run through the charge on the first battery, but I bought a second one anyway.
    Overall, I am super happy with the purchase. BB did not have the currently “free” RF/EF lens adapter in stock, so I had to way a few days to try the camera out. (Shipped to my house for free!) I plan to purchase the RF 35mm macro lens to use as a travel lens when I need a smaller/lighter lens.

    The Canon RP is a great all around camera, good size and lightweight. If you have EF lenses purchase the adaptor and you could use your full frame lenses with this camera.
    For the price you cant go wrong, leaves you with extra cash to invest in better glass, and with a good flash and tripod you can have a great setup without requesting a loan.
    Only con I found was the battery life, a secondary battery is a must.
    I’m very happy with my purchase.

    Bought this camera to use as a travel camera with the compact 50mm and 24mm and can’t be happier. The smaller body size lets me throw it in my bag and take it everywhere but I still get full frame performance. Does it have the best auto focus? No. Does it have image stabilization? No. But for its price it gets the job done and the RAW files it makes works perfectly for my photographic style. I put an image stabilized lens on it, throw an extra battery in my pocket (because the battery capacity is a little on the low side), and start looking for something to capture.
    My only complaints are the lack of as many custom buttons that I’m used to on a mirrorless body and the less-than-intuitive menu system. Setting up custom menus takes a long time but once you learn the “q” menu it’s not too bad. If you’re a professional photographer this camera doesn’t have the battery life or memory card slots to do the job but as a backup or travel camera, the RP has been exactly what I wanted.

    I had an early digital camera in the late 90’s and another in the mid 2000’s that was okay but never really stepped up to the current era of cameras. I did use a Canon 70D at work for many years so I was comfortable with the Canon architecture and decided on Canon when it came time for finally buying my own. I also wanted a full frame, mirrorless camera and I narrowed it down to the RP & R. I really did not see the advantages of the price difference so opted for the RP. So far I have purchased a couple lenses, extension grip and a spare battery for the unit and have overall been satisfied in its performance. I will need to secure an external flash since there isn’t one built in (although from what I gather none of the R series cameras have an internal flash) but aside from that I’m very happy with it. I’ve heard some folks criticizing the crop on the 4K recording, but video is not my primary focus with this camera. I’ve also heard reports of some earlier models of the RP overheating in hot or humid conditions, but since this unit has been around about 4 years hopefully those issues have been resolved at the factory. No problems on my end yet, however it hasn’t experienced a Deep South humid summer yet. I’m highly satisfied so far with the limited time I’ve had with it. I’ve included a photo I took of my fish tank.

    Full disclosure: I upgraded to the EOS RP from a Rebel T5, so of course the RP is clearly going to be an improvement over my previous camera. I stuck with my Rebel for a long time because I didn’t want to fall into the trap of thinking upgrading my equipment would substitute upgrading my skills and knowledge. I’ve spent several years learning photography and improving my skills and finally decided to move forward with the RP. It’s a huge improvement all around. The image resolution is shockingly amazing for the price of the RP. The RP is fast, lightweight, easy to use (especially when upgrading from a Rebel) and produces excellent quality images. I have no interest in the video capabilities so I can’t review them, but as a photographer, I love this camera. I purchased the adapter for my EF lenses and also the RF 35mm 1.8 and they both work perfectly. I also want to note that the FPS is more than adequate at least for my use when shooting wildlife, seascapes and people. I’ve included 3 images I took of some muscle shells at the beach. One is the original size. The second is a crop of the original and the third is a crop of the second. The others are RAW unedited shots. Have a look!

    I am really enjoying the camera. Canon is a great product and I have enjoyed them for years. The mirrorless body really takes great photos and videos. It works well with my DJI mic2’s.

  7. Mv350 –

    I just picked this camera up on Friday 3/1, and my initial thoughts are that this camera kicks serious butt. Most of the bad reviews are for it’s video capabilities. Which I do not use anyway. As for it being a full frame camera with the ability to use all of my EF and EFs glass, plus the option of all the future RF glass, there is not a better option for this much money. 100% happy

    Great full frame camera with great autofocus due to so many focus points. The battery doesn’t last too long. I recommend purchasing an extra battery if you are shooting for more than a couple of hours. Great choice of lenses with the capability of using an R mount adapter. Used a Sigma Art 35 (without calibrating) and Canon RF 35 and both worked great. Sigma 25-105 f4 art also preforms great with this camera. Works well with ef-s lenses and tried my canon ef-s 55-250 for nature photos and I did not notice much vignette and this may be due to the camera switching the crop factor. Colors, sharpness, detail, and contrast on landscapes, portraits, and nature photos have been great.
