I have been using the "RP" for almost two weeks now. The only problem I have had which isn't a problem has been getting used to the EVF. The blackout between shots still freaks me out but I am getting a hand on it. I have used every lens I have on it which includes a Sigma 50mm f1.4 without a problem other than I had to turn off all camera corrections when using the Sigma. I have been very pleased with my results so far but I am still testing it out in various ways. I have shot almost 300 pictures on the first charging of the battery. Battery life has been somewhat of a surprise to me. I expected worse. I only have two ef-s lenses which I use on my 80D. The RP automatically crops both lenses which results in images between 10 and 11 megapixels. Still, the fact that you can use these lenses without a vignette problem on a full frame camera is a plus. I just purchased the RF 35mm F1.8 lens in keeping with the smallish size factor as well as price. I will let folks know how it goes as I expect delivery of said lens this tuesday. The bottom line for me is I call the "RP" my baby "R". If you like the Canon "R" you will like the Canon "RP". No ifs, ands, or buts.......

Any chance you could post some images from your “RP?” Comparing them with your 80D?

Wait! Hey LPigott is that not the Lone Cypress in your avatar! My word, just noticed it.

Yes, the Lone Cypress is still there, although it lost a large limb in the storms this winter. We lost over 300 trees in Pebble Beach. The Lone Cypress had four large limbs in the 90's, then three, now two. The arborists say the tree is over 250 years old and still healthy even though it's down to just a trunk and two limbs ...

The one in the photo taken this morning was planted, or transplanted, a year ago to enhance a new golf course hole on the 17-Mile Drive.

Early morning colors are ideal for a photographer, in fact a joy after so many weeks of storms this winter.

Does anyone have experience with Canon EOS RP? I’m having trouble finding an impartial review. I know Sony is the mirrorless of choice, but I have a collection of Canon lenses I’d like to utilize if I migrate from Canon 7D to mirrorless ...

This device attaches to a DSLR camera and calculates proper settings. It costs $175. Does anyone have experience using it?

Thanks for the virtual tour of this unusual landscape. Any chance this area was used in filming "Avatar?"

Just entered our local cameral club's Nature Competition. Have no idea how the judges will rule. Much depends on the competition. Meanwhile, how would the UHH "judges" rate these entries? Thank you.

I suggest keeping it in the Canon Family, but you might look at a Nikon D7100 and their 18-140 DX. The price on the D7100 has been falling like a rock with the D7200 out that really has not differences than a larger buffer. All of Nikon's 18-to-xxx DX lenses are equally sharp with the 18-140 being one of the best at the wider apertures.


Yes, Nikon is fine. Some of my professional friends are Nikon. I once used Nikon equipment myself. For better or for worse, I'm a Canon believer and plan to stay that way. But I appreciate your insight.

LP - based on your lenses, going FF will generate a need for more lenses unless you're prepared to live with just your 70-200. Of course, you can sell your EF-S lenses along with the 7D. If you're (very) lucky, you'll get around $800 combined. I looked through your image posts. A mixed bag, with the good stuff being really good.

I made the 7D to 5DIII move. It's a great camera that I'd recommend to anyone with the caveat that if you don't have the glass for it, you're wasting your money. Or even more likely, you're going to be buying some / a lot more lenses until you're going to be happy.

I was serious: you're doing good work with your current gear. The 5DIII is going to let you shoot to ISO 6400 when you have to and the noise in these images cleans up easily. Although the 7D is advanced in AF, the 5DIII is even more so.

As I said in another post, UHHers will gladly spend your money like sailors on leave ... You keep asking for advice on a decision you seem to have already made. If you're still looking for the "right" move, get some FF lenses before a FF camera. The 17-40L would be a good choice for the 7D and your current lenses replacing one or both the EFS mounts. A used one (EX rated) from KEH is relative steal in terms of quality vs cost.

Added - also consider the EF-S 10-22. Having had both the 17-40L and the 10-22 at the same time with the 7D, I can tell you image to image, you cannot tell the difference between the lenses on the camera except where the focal lengths do not overlap. If you move back to your earlier question of new lens ideas, consider either of these.

Thank you for all your research, CHG. My husband needs an 18 -135. Rather than buy a duplicate of mine, he offered to "adopt" mine and buy me a FF camera. The only problem with that offer is it appears there is no substitute for the 18 - 135 for a FF body. I'm afraid I'd miss that range and performance.

It is evident to many of us who are concerned about your finances that you don't "need" to upgrade.


Hah! So true. I'm trying to convert "want" to "need," which is why I posed the question ...
