Canon RP on my Rack
Mar 21, 2019 11:27:31 #
My local B&M (Southeasten Camera/Raleigh) shoved this little beast in my hands yesterday, and I folded like a wet noodle, whipped out my CC, and stroked my sig on the bos. At this point, only playing around with it, due to inability to drive and the rainy wx. Running thru menus, playing with settings, etc, getting feel for the little booger.
So far, all-around pleased. My fiddling-with camera had been Canon SL2, paired w/Canon 10-22 F3.5 and Tammy 18-400. SEC gaved me a fair price for the SL2 and Canon lens. I retained the Tammy, since the RP has a setting that allows pairing w/EF-S lens. I also have the 5D S/r, picked up used last summer after partial recovery of vision. Presently have 16-35 F4L and 70-200 F4L. Have 24-70 F4L on on order.
At this point, all bases covered, including Leica V-Lux 4 and Nikon P7800.
Hope to post a few in coming days.

My friend Donna bought one the day they were released for sale and she loves it. You'll want to turn off the auto focus setting that comes set from the factory that way. I'm talking about an auto focus setting that has the camera autofocus "all" the time even when the shutter button isn't in half press. Very annoying. It's buried in the menus somewhere.
Aren't you going to buy any of the ER lenses for it?

Tks for the focus tip jeep-daddy. I had noticed something going on with that but had not figured it out.
With my 5D S/r being my go-to box, and in that the camera came with an EF adapter, I plan to stay with EF lens for now.
Hope Donna gets a kick out of hers.

Have fun!

From what I read, the new Canon RF lenses are high-end lenses that deserve a better body than the RP provides, and that actually, sounds pretty good to me.
In a year or three, when you have a nice collection of great lenses, Canon will be on generation two or three of the bodies and you'll feel good about upgrading to a new one.

I would have considered mating my RP with RF lens if there had been an adapter allowing mounting to my 5D S/r. At this point, the big Canon is my go-to box, so I’ll probably stick with EF lens, using them on th RP via adapter.
