People that talk down on camera gear on KZfaq are your typical KZfaqrs getting kickbacks. Appreciate the honest video. This camera is awesome and will work for many years beyond 2023.

I've had my RP for a few years now and it's been amazing. I was totally new to photography when I bought it and learned to shoot with it. I didn't know that it's not weather sealed until recently but I've abused it pretty heavily shooting in rain and snow. It's also been dropped in mud, gravel, puddles, etc, with no issues. I just have three red pixels which are easy to edit out and a scratch on the grip. The touchscreen and tap to shoot feature is my favorite. I can position my camera without having to worry about image blur from pressing the shutter button. I still haven't learned all of the features and settings. I'm sure I have many more years with this thing before I upgrade.

I picked up a refurbished RP from Canon for $599. Paid for itself after two photo sessions! Such a great camera!

I have just bought an RP as a backup for my R5. It covers most of the bases for my style of photography.

As a teacher and a dslr user, I went with the RP because of cost. Not using for video. Only used a couple of times. Can’t wait to use it more.

It was my first full frame mirrorless camera. There are many better options nowadays but for some reason I still love it. The grip is perfect for me and it is so light... Video is pretty much useless but for photography is good enough. I also use it as a webcam with a elgato camlink and the 35mm f1.8. Flawless for three years, 8 hours a day non stop.

It's an excellent camera which can be used for not so experienced photographers as well as professional ones. You only have to know it's limitations, and understand what it gives you for the price. Of course there are better ones, but they will also be more expensive. I think in 2023, you can consider getting an used one for about $600 to $700. Also, I have it with the ef to rf adapter, and all my lenses are ef ones. They work flawlessly and have no issues with af or image quality.

I carry this camera everyday !! I love it

Just got mine, used but in great condition. Happy so far.

I love the RP so much. I don't think I've ever geled with a camera this much before. Today I got to try the R8, I was looking forward to certain features and a better dynamic range etc. The AF is much faster and reliable, but apart from that, actually the new features did nothing for me. Also, the menu was clunky and annoying, and I honestly couldn't tell the difference in dynamic range and IQ with the RP. I hate how they've replaced the nice and solid metal on/off switch with a cheap plasticky photo/video dial. That thing will break after a few months, I'm sure. The RP however is a tank. The new on/off switch also has "lock" in between, so whenever you switch the camera on or off, you get two clicks instead of one, and honestly that really puts me off for some reason haha. Also, I don't know if it's because the R8 is being manufactured in a rush atm and the plastic and electronics parts don't have enough time to cure before hitting the shelves, but my goodness does this camera SMELL. Like acetone, it's really strong. I got a headache after a while. The camera also started overheating just while playing around with menu settings. Erm... So my conclusion is: stick with / get the RP instead. It's a solid little camera with everything you need for photography (granted less so for video but still it's there and pretty decent), and most of all it's an absolute joy to use.

The RP is such a dark horse, under-appreciated camera for photography. Video - not so much. But the size/weight alone make this such a great camera.

RP is a good camera especially for still photography. I've never been able to get used to the small form factor. but from travel its great. the price also makes me less stressed out when carrying it around sketchy places. currently backpacking around east africa with my RP and a 24-105 f/4 and a 35mm 1.8. I think eventually I will upgrade to the R6 though. Although I'll probably still hold onto the RP as a second body.

Great video I went with the R and it’s amazing! My first full frame.

Just swapped out my canon R6 Mk1 for a canon R8 and don't miss it one bit... Just miss the rotating dial for ISO. But the size for the R8 or the RP is just killer.

Just bought this camera as an upgrade to my canon m100. However on the fence about keeping it, as I learned it has a lower dynamic range than the m100 even though that’s 1/3rd the price and aps-c. Being the only thing I care about (alongside low light performance) it was pretty much a downgrade. I’m already pushing the aps-c 12.9 stops DR, so I’ll be fairing even worse with the RP at 11.9 stops. I summit and shoot in the same Rockies you showed in your examples. And the photo at moraine lake you showed the sky was badly blown out. Not confidence inspiring.

i still think its bang for the bucks..almost identical quality 1 by 1 with r8 except more features & newer procesor..if only RP has clog then its good enough for me..

Nice thumbnail pic😊

Your comments on the R8 at the beginning of your video is kinda surprising to me. The R8 is everything the RP should be but isn’t. I’m puzzled😊…maybe I misunderstood you cause you said good things about a couple minutes later…

Why are you rambling on about the fuji x100v? There is no similarities between them other than they both take images. Sony a7ii maybe. It's pointless to compare cameras that are aimed at different markets.

I have to disagree with you I have shot 14 wedding with this and the R7 newest edition as of last year and with the RP i cannot ask for better low light photography it is by far the best (my take only) you had said you did a wedding with this RP and then say its entry i disagree with you unless your a entry level wedding photographer ? that said I still (Love my RP) the most I have taken this with RP is 623 photos single charge. I do not do video with this mind you. but again I just hate when people call different camers entry cameras its not the camera its the person behind that camera I have seen pro shots taken from a point and shoot camera so thats long gone but so so many call camera because they arent 5,000 or more a entry level like I have said its the one taking the photo in the end. thanks for the video

It’s terrible at $1299 but fantastic at $599

I'm choosing between this one and Nikon Z5 for general purpose photography and product photography and I cannot make up my mind....

@ViewsofHarry im starting off with jewellery product photography as a beginner.. would you recommend RP as a startup camera with kit lens 24-105mm

Great video, I just ordered an rp i have a canon t7 right now is it a very big jump in low light performance?

Hi I’m been trying to look for an upgrade, currently I own a t7 rebel with a sigma 85 art lens. I lost my 50 EF 1.8 lens. Currently my rebel shutter speed is terrible with the 85 art lens and only works on the flash off auto setting. Do you think I should invest in the rp is it a massive upgrade

I think with the release of the R8, the RP and the R are going to be good cheap options on the used market. They are all a little dated, but a good entry into mirrorless full frame.

Normal talking head video is good in FHD60p other then that nothing is there. No slow motion no timelapse features

I love the camera, the only tick I have is that when I use the godox XT controller, the ISO jumps all over the place (sometimes it happens without but randomly) If anyone has a solution would be great.

Does the R8 have the same color as the RP? Better or worse?

2 main issues with Canon RP are the fact it only accepts official Canon lenses that are extremely expensive. 2nd fact is that it has way worse dynamic for stops of light than Nikon Z5 making it unable to recover much detail between bright and dark spots. Nikon Z5 can use old Nikon FX and 3rd party lenses top of Nikon Z lenses.

Yo bro😢help out i cant find the 59.95fps on video mode what to do?

Never even heard of the X100V. Looked it up. No thanks. That’s a lot of money for a fixed lens apsc. That thing should be $800 tops. I guess that’s the power of “influencers”. The sheep pile in. Lol.

RP is the worst FF camera you can buy, almost everything sux in that camera. If you can't spend more than $999 then get Nikon Z5 - a much better camera for the same price.
