Loving this new full frame mirrorless camera. Focusing is kind of meh and having to rely on lenses for image stability is a strike, along with cropped video. Apart from that it’s been working great for my needs. Like the smaller megapixel size so the files are more manageable and the pics look great. Interface is aok. Glad I can use all my L series lenses with the adapter which does add some bulk.

The dynamic range, low-light performance and AF is on the level of a mid range APSC camera. There is no reason to buy the RP. All of the native lenses are expensive so buying this cheap camera doesnt make sense. Either stick with your DSLR, buy an A7II which has everything this camera has plus IBIS for much less, or spend a few extra hundred bucks for real full frame mirrorless cameras like the A7III or Z6.

I have had a bunch of Canon DSLRS but this is my first jump into full frame. Coming from the 70D I was super excited to have the extra depth that comes from full frame and the extended low light capabilities. The move to focus on the back of the screen while looking through the view finder is genius. Not a sport photography camera (max 5fps) and the lack of 1080P at 24FPS with video leaves me scratching my head why Canon has to always bring out the cripple police. Not to mention leaving out DPAF with 4K but it’s nice to at least have the option since I know this is entry level. I have it paired with the 24-105L and couldn’t be happier. I love the extra data that you get with the electronic viewfinder and you don’t have to guess how the picture will turn out. The mirrorless approach is definitely here to stay. One downside with the EVF is that it is hard to see with RX sunglasses which I never had before with the optical view finder. The focus detection point on the eye makes me never want to go back. This thing also eats batteries but I love the ergonomics (I hate huge cameras) and the weight. Overall these cameras are going to sell like crazy.

Full frame mirror less from Canon for a great value! Super light and easy to carry. All Of the thing I love about Canon with new features. Can’t wait to get my hands on the new RF lenses they have coming.

I have owned a 7D for 8 years, but decided to sell it and get a 6D II (Full frame), but when I checked out the RP I changed my mind. The RP is light, full frame, has WiFi and Bluetooth which allows functions from a smartphone and the view finder is exactly what your lens is seeing and is easier to see in bright or dark situations. The downside is the battery, IF you have the WiFi and/or Bluetooth active; otherwise the battery will last much longer. The touchscreen control is a nice feature. When I bought my RP from a local camera shop it included an EF lens adapter so I can use my nifty 50mm lens. I did buy the 24x105mm RF L zoom lens with the camera and that was discounted as well. There arent many RF lenses at this time, but I expect Canon to start producing them soon. This investment will prove its value when I go to Alaska soon. Based upon my findings, I would recommend this camera. It is the lowest price full-frame camera you can find and it has Canon quality.

Excellent ergonomics and ease of use, but autofocus was very disappointing. Granted I paired it with a nifty fifty but it couldnt keep up with my son crawling on all fours owards me. Sold it and got an A7iii with zeiss 55 1.8 instead. Sufficient for casual shooters only who dont need good autofocus and can accept inaccurate focusing. But menu system, touch screen, articulating screen are all excellent.

I upgraded from a Canon 70D and couldnt be more satisfied. After years of going "cheap" with APC cameras, going full frame for this price was a no-brainer. I think the RP is going to be a huge success. The body is small and light. I have big hands but find the RPs handling excellent -- button/wheel location is excellent for my needs (mostly amateur travel, portraiture, some sports). The optional grip works well for a heavier lens, but you can certainly go without. The build is nice and solid, although the LCD screen if extended seems a tad fragile. The EVF is sharp and bright. AF is good if not lightning fast. You can find several complaints online about the RP (old 6D2 sensor, low FPS, short battery life), but hey, at this price and coming from a 70D, I am very pleased. The RF lens is very sharp and a perfect all-around. Having the new control ring on the lens is great (I actually programmed it to set ISO). And Canon is coming out with a dream trio of (hopefully affordable) 2.8 RF L lenses: 15-35, 24-70, and 70-200. Go Canon.

The manual clearly states that "processing RAW images from this camera is not possible". I wish I had known this, I would not have bought this camera. While the camera does allow you to shoot in RAW, you cannot download or open the files on your computer. You have to go to the Canon website and download software. The instructions to do so are confusing, and the instructions on how to actually use the software are even more confusing. Unless you plan on only shooting in JPEG, do not buy this camera. The autofocus and shutter (there is a lag or delay when you press the shutter) are so slow on this camera, dont even think about trying to capture moving subjects. I tried to shoot my dog jumping in broad daylight, and it was impossible. Nothing but complete blur. Also, because it is completely digital, the viewfinder and image display shut off after you take a shot, as it is processing. The viewfinder itself is also digital as well...which totally negates the purpose of having a viewfinder...

I own both the original 6D as well as the RP. Ive only had the RP for a short time, but here are some of my impressions. All in all, it seems to be a very good camera. Other than the resolution, I still prefer the images from my 6D but as I said, its early yet. I think the body is a little cheapy feeling. The ergonomics are good and you really dont need the extra bottom plate unless you have gigantic hands. It has a good grip and as everyone has mentioned, its very light. Of course until you add some big EF lenses. Other than the nice grip it tends to remind me of a Sony in that everything is minimal, controls are flush to the body, all black. I would have prefered a little better leatherette cover, and some more slr like controls. However, im being picky here and this would all affect the size and weight of the camera. The EVF is a top notch feature. For landscapes in particular, there really has been no other way but Live View through the LCD, but that has changed. You can almost forget about the rear LCD except for certain purposes, the EVF is that good. It allows you to control everything and see everything including exposure. You can see in the EVF whether the sky is blown out etc. And thanks to drag and focus, you can easily move the focus point , get the exposure you like and lock it in with exposure lock. It is very much like having a peephole LCD. Big points for this. The autofocus is excellent and you can have a combination of them in place at the same time. The eye detect focus from my limited use is very fast and does a great job. If you want to to change the focus, just touch your LCD while looking through the EVF and you can move it, almost anywhere in the frame. There are a number of other great features such as focus bracketing that ive yet to try, but that one has the potential to be great. So all that being said, lets get to the image quality. Anyone moving from an aps-c to full frame Im sure will be very impressed with the RP. With a good lens you cant beat that combination of razor sharp and creamy soft that full frame offers. The colors of course are very good as expected, and here is a surprize. I was expecting the DR to be a real downer but its not. I convert to dng and edit in other programs other than DPP and i was surprised at how much range there is. Its certainly not class leading, but it is very respectable. If you need more than this, you really took a bad exposure. The low light performance is very good, and you can get very respectable images even beyond 12800 ISO with a little work. Now i have to say this, for whatever reason, i still prefer the images of the original 6D. I cant say exactly why, a combination of the tone, color and what i like to call the creaminess is still better for me on the 6D. But again I am splitting hairs. For the most part, the RP is capable of producing images rivaling the best of Canons full frame cameras. And it has a lot of practical convenience features that make this one hell of a camera for the price.

I am a professional photographer who finds himself needing to cut down on weight and size and boy does fit the bill. I already have a ton of Canon glass, but I have bought Nikon and Leica adapters so I can fit some high-quality, lightweight manual-focus lenses. And this camera is a manual focus dream! It will highlight whatever is in focus -- its better than any manual focus camera ever was. And because there is no mirror, you can fit small Leica lenses. Want autofocus? It has a superb AF system that covers 80% of the frame. Its really a wonderful camera. My only complaint -- and its a big one -- is that the battery life is really awful. 1/3 that of a 5d Mk III, Id guess. So buy some spares.
