Which do you like better, the 90D or RP?
The RP is a full frame RF mount and the 90D is a crop sensor EF mount . Apples and Oranges.
Actually of all my bodies the 90D is my least favorite. I got it to use on my 150-600 for birds because of the high MP sensor, but I had trouble with the AF keeping up with moving birds and went back to using the 80D on the big lens and tripod. I loved my 7DII for birds etc. until I began to want more MP for large prints (80D), the R7 is kinda its rebirth as an RF mount body and I love it.
The 5DIV was for wide angle work and dim light and the RP was my pick of the RF mounts, small, light and less expensive than the R5 or R3. Then I found that it takes excellent pictures.
My last expedition for water birds, I took the R7 with RF 100-500L and the RP with a wide angle zoom. The RP was hanging around my neck and the R7 was in the cargo pouch of my mobility scooter when I was moving. I went a bit over a mile up and back along a man-made river in a flood control channel. It was built as a joint project of a university, large local business and the city park department.* It has ponds, islands, rapids, a couple of small falls, dams and trails on one side (both sides on some stretches) with foot bridges every so often. The whole thing is landscaped with flower beds, shrubs and water plants. The main pond has an island and roofed observation platform in the middle, with a raised walkway to get out to it. The place has a lot of birds, esp. migrants in winter, as no one pays attention to the "Do Not Feed..." signs. The winter visitors are just starting to arrive. I saw song birds, stilts, coots, gulls and several kinds of ducks and a few egrets. When the migrants all arrive later this month, there will be multiple types of geese and even more types of ducks.
All the bridges are wide enough for my scooter, which is 5' long and 2.6' wide. It is for a single rider with cargo or two riders without a cargo basket or duffle bag.
Oh, I have a street legal mobility scooter with lights for night. My doctor gave me a letter to get one for my lower back problems, pinched left sciatic nerve (the whole leg hurts and feels weak when that flairs up) and a left knee I have injured 4 times in my life. I should be able to recover part of the price at tax time, since my Doc said I needed it to avoid too much walking.
It is great for photography in parks, along bike and hiking trails etc. If they are not too far I don't even need to use the car carrier, I just ride there. My weight and at top speed the batteries last 20 to 30 miles. For someone under 200lbs and on more or less flat pavement, it can get 40–50 miles on a full charge if you just sort of cruise along. The manufacturer turned off the "speed limiter" (governor?) for me, so I have hit 31mph. This year, CA changed the law on speeds for street legal mobility scooters. Seniors (I am 78) and those with disabled plates (me) can do 30mph on the streets instead of 15. It is now legal on streets with 25mph limits(35 if local PD say OK, mine does) or in bike lanes, on hiking trails etc. It is ADA compliant so legally can go anywhere a pedestrian can go as long as it fits, and it is safe to do so. Some larger stores with roomy aisles let it come inside since it just a bit longer (about 6 inches)and not as wide as those riding shopping carts they have.
*CEO of the business got tired of looking a large concrete ditch out his office window. So he contacted the University and they designed it, then with money from the business the park department built it.
