Hi, I wanted to start a new hobby, and I thought that since I love taking pictures on my phone I should level up and get a camera, I already had one when I was 5 and used it everytime but I broke it some years later unfortunately. I found online a used eos rp in good condition, it has a Shutter count of around 33 000, but it comes with only one battery so I should buy other batteries since I read online that the battery life isn't that good, and it comes with no lens. I wanted to use it for everyday shots and maybe later for real estate photography. Are there other things I should control before buying? It costs around 520 euros, is this a good price? Thank you

Hi all For those of you who use the eos RP, could you share me the real life using pros and cons of it? And which lens would you recommand with it? Thanks 🙏🏼

Im looking for a mirrorless camera,I have considered r50,r100 but their kit lenses are very bad and RP generally seems to be way better than them,I’ve also considered buying a used Sony a7 mark 2 that could come in a similar price..this Rp comes with a 24-100 lense at 800€ in my country prices are way higher than most others so consider that it ain’t outrageous,brand new rp with this lens is at 1300.Is it worth it? (Comes with tripod bag and sd card also..I won’t be needing them as I have already all the other except tripod but it has them)

I see a lot of hate towards this camera so am just curious what do you guys think about it

Hey there!

To give a bit of background, I'm an amateur photographer. I don't intend to buy a camera focussed towards any photography genre in particular. I am interested in wildlife photography, but again, I don't do it extensively, might go for 1-2 safari in a year.

Apart from that, I'm planning to use the camera mostly for trips around my city i.e. landscapes or street/portrait photography within the city or with my friends. I never made videos with my previous camera, and don't intend to do it extensively either. But i do love to make and edit videos on my phone so that would be something i might be doing with my new camera as well. But again, that would be just for posting on Instagram ig, so 1080 and 4K wouldn't be a huge difference.

I have earlier used 700D but lost it last year. Yeah, ik, it sucks. So currently i don't have any camera and badly want to get one to restart my photography. However this time I'm planning to go for a full frame camera only. Mainly because of background blur, low light performance and dynamic range.

I earlier looked up R10 extensively, but decided to choose RP over R10. Right now, I'm confused b/w R8 and RP.

I know R8 is almost >1.5x times costly than RP and tbh, it would also be a stretch on my budget. But I was feeling unsure about getting RP since it's almost 4 yrs old now.

Basically, after a year I don't want to end up in a position where i feel like selling my RP for a better camera. Hence I was considering getting an R8 right now only, even if it's a bit of stretch.

So given the sort of uses i stated above, do you think RP would suffice and be a good camera to go for?

I'm planning to get 2 RF lenses with it, 24-105 and 50mm prime.

Thank you so much for reading this and giving your time!

Hello, I'm a beginner photographer and I was deciding between a Sony camera, a6400 to be exact and Canon EOS RP. I've seen some people saying that eos rp is the best full frame for a starter and others said it's not so good camera. I have little to no knowledge about cameras, just some photoshooting on phone and some lessons in school. So can anyone help me out? My main focus is gonna be landscapes, low-light photos, street photography, portraits and maybe some macro. Thanks to anyone that's willing to help!

I recently had my Canon 70 D stolen. Instead of just replacing it, I'm looking for a bit of an upgrade.

Before I was looking at the Sony A7iii because I planned on also turning in my camera, but now that it's stolen I'm looking for something a little bit cheaper, possibly the Canon RP.

I'm only a hobbyist photographer, so my budget is < $1000 & I found someone selling an RP and haggle them down to $750. I like taking portraits and sometimes I'll take photos at family functions; I do plan on going hiking and camping with it and taking photos.

Is it worth it?

I'll try to keep this short.

Today, I got the Canon EOS RP. I've wanted to switch to mirrorless for a while, and planned to about a year ago when I sold my 80D, but I sadly ran into some financial difficulty and have only now been able to get a camera again.

The EOS RP is nice, but the plastic feels kinda strange, and it feels a bit too small compared to my 80D. It also seems like the AF is generally slower, by quite alot, as is the camera OS overall. My 80D felt much snappier with it's AF, and I feel like the images were sharper too, but I may be mistaken.

Another thing, is the overall asthetic just feels more budget, and entry level, which I'm told that the EOS RP is, something I was not aware of before purchasing. This feels like a step backwards from my 80D.

I'm debating returning it and getting a 90D instead, please advise.

Could I be doing something wrong?

Hi everyone !

I'm an amateur photographer and looking for a new camera. I just own an old Canon EOS 350D which was given to me with a few lenses, and I'm very grateful. Even though the camera is old, I managed to get good pictures with prime lenses and good lighting.

However, I love low light, landscape and architecture photography. With this old camera, I cannot go over 400iso without having so much noise that it can't be fixed by editing (I lose too much details and it looks "fake"). Although I got used to the crop factor (and love it), it's been keeping me from taking some pictures.

The thing is, the specs of every camera of the 2010s and 2020s are so different and great compared to my old camera that it's quite hard to make a choice. Everything seems so much better !

What I like about the RP : on my price range, full frame, compatible with my old lenses (even though I plan on buying new ones), seems to be ok for low light pictures, SMALL and LIGHT (less than 500g). I suffer from chronic pain so the weight of the body is very important.

Thanks for your answers and sorry for the long post !

Photo 1 : this is the maximum "low light" picture I can take without losing too much details. But I had to use a tripod.

Photo 2 : because of the crop factor, I couldn't take the whole place with a little bit of sky.

Hello!

I just ordered and EOS RP. Any thoughts or advice would be great.

I’ve never shot full frame before and I’m looking forward to it.

I saw it on Amazon for around 1000$ and wondered if it will be a good buy.

I'm a beginner and I want to shoot short films with a group of friends. So I wanted to invest in a good camera to get the visuals.

I'm using my pixel 8pro right now for the videos but I want go a little further and look into color grading. So I thought having a good camera would help with it.

Any help would be great, thank you.

I want to buy my first full frame. I do still photography, mostly street, landscape, and portrait. I'm not a pro. I don't do video. Tell me what do you think about the following deal:

Canon EOS RP + RF 24-105 mm f4-7.1 IS STM + RF 50 mm F1.8 STM

All new for 1,200 EUR total. What do you think?

Actually, I like my Canon EOS RP. Here is one shot I took. It is comparatively a small full frame.

The problem is that it is still big. I normally like to take photos in my daily life but this kind of a camera is hard to carry all the time so I can just take when I go for a trip or something but when I do that since I walk, hitchike or do something like that I can not take the camera from the bag all the time. At the end I started not using my camera at all.

Another problem is I want to take videos a lot, but its autofocus is terrible and I do not want to use manual focus all the time, sometimes I just wanna take a video without interrupting my experience of travelling. Again, at the end, the dissatisfaction with Canon's video capability makes me even less willing to take my camera out of my bag or even take next with me during the day.

So I decided to sell my camera and buy something else. I checked lots of options, but I am seriously unsure. I want to have a good video and photography performance, and I want something small. Ideally, I do not want to spend more than 2000 USD. With this budget, I feel like I need to tighten some of my wants. I would love to take some advice. Here are some options I could find:

• Ricoh GR IIIx

• FUJIFILM X100VI

• Sony RX100 Mark VII

• Sony A7c

• Sony A7c2

• Sonay a6700

• Sony A7III

• Fujifilm X-T5 (or other options of Fuji interchangeable lens cameras)

Thank u all!

Hey everyone I have shot film for ages and just recently getting into digital, I was gifted an eos rp. Didn’t think I would enjoy it but after a few weeks I’m really having fun shooting digital.

So far I’ve just used it for street photography and some portraits. I’m going to be covering a music festival in a few weeks and will mainly shoot film but will carry along my rp as well.

I hear people critique various bodies a lot, ie x is horrible for wildlife or y is bad for sports photography. I know that autofocus performance and image stabilization are involved, and of course the resolution of the camera, but can sometime tell me what scenarios might push me to upgrade my eos rp? Currently using tamron 24-70mm g2 and love it

Edit: I’ll also be shooting New York fashion week and want to take some photos with the eos rp. Will I run into challenges there?

Hi! I want to buy new (only body) Canon EOS RP and used RF 24-105 mm f/4-7.1 IS STM lens. Is it good idea and good set for start? Mostly I want take pictures of landscapes and sometimes use that camera for astrophotography (I believe that mirrorless full frame camera is good option for that).

Previously I was using Nikon D3100.

Thanks for help! :)

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out what peoples' general feelings/opinions are about these cameras. They are budget-friendly, but it seems the dynamic range of the RP is worse than many MFT cameras and the R is on par with most APSC.

Since full-frame lenses are more expensive, I'm trying to figure out in what conditions one would bother buying them instead of an MFT or APSC counterpart?

I'm not trying to pick a fight, just trying to get opinions about possible use-cases. I could understand if someone has EF glass from the film era that they want to adapt to RF, but besides that, I can't really see how these cameras fit it.

I have been wanting to upgrade to a FF camera, I currently have the canon eos rebel t3 and have been eyeing these two. The Canon EOS RP is more in budget, however, I have heard a lot of great things about the R8 so I am curious if it is worth it to wait and save up a bit more for the R8 or just go with the RP.

I’m a amateur photographer who mainly does this as a hobby and frequent pass time, I rarely do shoots for family and friends for free because I don’t believe my work is at the point where I can charge for it just yet but I’ve been feeling like I really need to upgrade to mirrorless. I started off with film and manual photography until I was gifted a Canon EOS 50D by a family friend who no longer wanted it about 2 years ago. It’s done me well and it still runs just fine but I can see its age and limitations especially in its quality sometimes. I started looking through canons selection for mirrorless cameras and I really liked the RP, it was also on sale (and currently is at the time of posting) for 800$ for the camera body and it’s just about in my price range. I don’t have much spending money as I’m not able to work very much with school and my extracurriculars but its price is one I’m willing to pay. I especially am wanting the mega pixel upgrade since the RP has double what my current camera does. I plan on waiting until Black Friday to buy it at its discounted price and so I can have more time to save up to hopefully buy a RF lens too. ( I have 2 EF lenses and I plan on buying an adapter for them if I don’t get a RF lens immediately). I thought I should ask the community since I see people saying to wait and make the big jump and buy the R6 or R8 but I’m still unsure if that quality of a camera is needed for me since I’m still very amateur.

I'm in the market for an upgrade (currently shooting on a 5D classic) and I'm torn between these two cameras. For my enthusiast self the specs of the RP seem more than sufficient, but I'm a little concerned about the bokeh degradation due to the EFCS. I know you can technically get over those issues if you just put an ND filter on your lens and drop down the shutter speed again, but I don't know if I necessarily want to be dealing with those workarounds.

So with that being said I'm curious to see what actual users of the cameras have to say about it! So if you could please tell me what you think about your RP and the type of shooting that you do I would be very grateful!
