It was a pleasure to read your kind words. However, other reviewers do often identify concerns and delve more deeply into some issues. I would suggest that basing a decision on one article, or video is hasty.
Thank you for the advice, but I don’t tend to make hasty decisions. There is simply to much “binary” information in most reviews. A camera is either the best or the worst, which is polarizing and confusing. I appreciate the subtle nuances and find your oppinions mostly in line with mine. I turn to Gerald Undone and Chris Nicholls for technical aspects, and to you for a measured overview.
It’s a thoroughly global approach. A Dane turning to Canadian advice on Japanese products. Purchasing made with the blessing of my Dutch wife ;-) Dank je wel, meneer.
I agree this was my first video of this Channel and I thought it was by far the most accurate and detailed review of the RP I'm really kind of overwhelmed with how much attention went into all of the features especially at the price point
@@MaartenHeilbron very good point. I'm seriously considering the RP. Would be jumping from a Sony a6500. Not sure how much of an improvement would be overall. Probably better for photography, but definitely not for videography.
@@RyanJS08 If you want to improve your video production, consider the Fujifilm X-T3 (also a great stills camera) ruclips.net/video/WXX8acwyQPM/видео.html
Your reviews are, there’s no other word for it, epic! The amount of work you must put in before each video is very impressive. I can’t afford a full frame camera at the moment but part of the fun of our hobby is learning about new cameras and making a mental wish list for future reference! And there are no better reviews to help us than yours. I had several 'full frame' cameras in days long ago, including Fujica and Minolta models which I very much enjoyed. Why are full frame cameras so expensive now that the film is replaced by an electronic sensor? Well, there’s the answer I suppose, all the electronic stuff is very expensive! I guess if you added up the price of all the rolls of 24 and 36 exposure film we bought and added the cost of processing/printing them to the cost of the cameras it might be a better comparison - now we have to buy it all at once! Ah well, looking forward to more 'epic' reviews from you!
Your kind comments are appreciated, thanks. It does take time, but these are projects that I enjoy. It's the sensor that's expensive. If there's a failure on a die making smaller sensors, there are many more that are OK. With full frame, a failure is more expensive - in addition, of course, to all the other factors like larger/faster processors for handling more data.
I like the point about comparing to film costs and buying it all up front. If you do that comparison FF digital is a bargain! I must remember that for the next time my wife spots me looking at camera reviews! :-)
I have today purchased the RP kit with the 24-105mm and your video has explained just what the Fv function does. What a great addition, thank-you for explaining it.
It really doesn't seem like the camera deserves the flack it gets online. It looks great to me! Clearly not intended to be a "pro" camera, but an affordable, reliable camera for consumers. Add that killer kit lens, and it seems like a more reasonable option than going in for professional-level bodies that most people don't really need. Great review, sir!
Exactly right - not sure why people were disappointed, but maybe that worked in its favour? My expectations were not high, and I ended up really enjoying this camera, which is really nicely matched with that lens. Thank you for your kind words, appreciated.
Op zoek naar Canon EOS RP reviews kwam ik hier terecht. Eindelijk een informatieve review zonder al die nutteloze poespas. De RP heb ik inmiddels in bezit. 😎👌🏻 Heel veel succes met uw YT-channel!
Just ordered this camera today and it looks like it is going to be way more capable than me. So I will be watching this video at least once a day until I can grasp at least some of the points you discuss. So thank you very much for your work, and despite Canada Post going on holiday, I look forward to Amazon delivering soon. Thanks again!
MORE THAN A REVIEW IT IS A TOUR THROUGH THE CAMERA AND WHAT IT CAN DO. I LEARNED A LOT AND ALSO ABOUT HOW CAN YOU PLAY AND GET AMAZING RESULTS. Sorry caps, I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am.
This was an excellent review, you covered so many little tips and features with plenty of detail, never hangng on anything too long for it to get boring but also detailed enough to show youve actually fully used the camera and paid attention to all the nuances. thanks.
WOAH. Maarten. Nice work. Thank you. As a recent purchaser of this camera and not a professional photographer I was excited by how thorough and clear your review was. Thanks! PS. Love my RP!
Hi, Maarten! All of your videos are great, incredibly detailed and helpful. Even if I do not have interest in reviewed camera, I'm watching the video, because I like the way you do. Keep up the great work! Greetings from Bulgaria!
14:34 "In Program mode there's no shift mode for alternate shutter and aperture combination". I'm not quite sure what you mean by shift mode, and I don't know about this camera. But Canon's standard method of selecting a different combination has always been simply to roll the "main" (top) dial - no special mode required.
It sounds like you know exactly what I mean and I was as surprised as you were. I triple checked that I hadn't missed some button to activate it, but the manual also makes no mention. Such an odd omission.
Remarkable! But then I must confess that although I mostly do shoot in P mode, I've never actually changed the combination in this way. If I don’t like what P mode suggests, I always go to a different mode, mostly Av. So this omission wouldn’t be a dealbreaker for me. But the fact that you can’t record video in 1080 with an EF-S lens attached is! (And I don’t like the small battery - why not an LP-E6n?)
as always, a thoughtfully detailed and well produced vid. thank you for the effort and the sharing. RP vs 90D? i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.
Well done, Maarten! Thorough and cogent. Appreciate your well spoken and clear overview. Refreshing to not hear, 'you guys' every other minute! I just received my RP two days ago. I am surprised by how much I like it, too (currently using an Olympus E-M1II and Nikon D500). The 24-105 L lens is the cherry on top!
Great review. I played with the RP at a recent photo-show and was impressed. Your review has picked up lots of stuff I haven't seen elsewhere (and I now get the Fv mode - thanks!). Although I'm currently happy shooting on my Olympus, if I ever jumped up to FF then the RP and Sony A7ii are the two I'd be considering.
I appreciate your clarity. I own this camera and other that it’s poor lens collection, for the average Joe, I love it. I bought the Tamron 35-150 and the Tamron 45mm, the Tamron 15-30 will soon follow. Thanks for the great review and the time you take to do it!! BTW, I just subscribed! 😀
Lots of useful information here. I'm taking notes! I have this camera and really like it. This video will help me understand and use its features. I was hired to photograph stage and audience photos at a dance studio dress rehearsal and was impressed with the low light shots ... so was my client. Thanks for the excellent review and explanation.
It's always a pleasure to read a comment from a photographer who's found my information useful. Thanks for taking the time to comment, and for your kind words.
I have a Sony FF system and Fuji's X-T3 and X-M3 but I picked this up used with the 35mm RF macro and it's a LOT of fun. It's light, full featured, and takes great photos! What a great review!
Thank you for the review. It looks like a great full-frame camera if you are not into video too much. I am going to buy one soon and your review helped my decision.
Hello Maarten may be I'm wrong but It seems to me that for the same price range, the Fujifilm X-T3 has much more to offer...Unless you already have a significant number of Canon lenses
For as much as I'm an X-T3 fan, and don't believe that most of us need full frame, that is the advantage of the RP. I didn't get a chance to try the adapter, but yes, that's clearly a benefit to staying with Canon. Let me know if you need a link to a Canon to x-mount adapter.
@@MaartenHeilbron Hey Maarten, yes you can because all informations are good to take, but after 7 months I'm only at 48 percent of the money I need (bloody poverty) to get the X - T3 and the "kit lens", so this part would have to wait . Looking forward to your next video.
It's the back of a traffic light hanging over the intersection. Ordinarily, I'd erase it, but I don't like to be that aggressive in photos I'm using to illustrate the capabilities of a camera.
most grumpy old men youtubers hate this amazing cheap full frame camera with incredible color science. i paired my RP with EF 24-70, tiffen circular polarizer to cut some unwanted reflections and godox tt685ii with dome. and the result? it's impressive. i'm also thinking to get the true color vnd filter. the color profile that i used is landscape, my favourite. if you're using this color profile on portrait i suggest to drag the orange hue on lightroom towards left a little bit to avoid green skin tones on your model. this camera is not for wildlife and sports photography. it's still usable but not that great.
Hi Maarten. Thanks for the channel and your nice reviews. Is it still worth buying a used RP or is it better to look at newer crop cameras (R10, X-10S/20S)? No specific tasks, general family/travel photography (start with kit lenses, primes in case of RP). Been mostly using the phone for the last few years, but would like to get back to cameras (and trying FF looks tempting). Thanks.
Hoi Maarten, Thank you for this excellent video! I am in the process of buying this camera. The thing I not 100% sure about is whether to get the 50mm F1.8 or the 24-105 F4-F7.1 lens. The main use of the camera will be food photography. I think I should get both at the end of the day, but which lens would you recommend to get me started. Groetjes uit Noorwegen, Richard
While the f1.8 aperture will provide better photos in low light, 50mm is a little long for food photography - you may end up standing on chairs. The 24-105 is likely the better choice, but a wide-angle large aperture prime might better - or add a flash to your purchase.
I've just bought that camera and your video is very useful."That FV mode does it all"As for me I don't really know yet what to think about it but I feel I could easily do without it.Thanks and congratulation on your channel .By the way I live in Auvergne,next to Clermont-Ferrand and I was wondering why you did not do some videos in French , as I am sure you can speak French...
Happy to read that you appreciate my videos. I'm envious of your location - we love France and it has been very to not be able to travel. ruclips.net/video/xDhF5SvwVRI/видео.html Although I do speak French, it's not enough to convey the complex concepts and detailed technical aspects of cameras in 2022. There are others who do it much better.
We just bought one - having some issues taking pics of moving subjects - we primarily wanted to be able to shoot bans at concerts - sports etc. all moving targets- any pointers. surely this camera is good for this - we are entry level and used a T7 before - this is our first full frame so be gentle on us - we just need some pointers! Thank you in advance
TY for detailed Video. I am Planning to buy RP with lens RF 24-105 mm F4-7.1 IS STM lens. Do you recommend this combo for indoor videography? OR you prefer RP with any specific lens for indoor videography. Please suggest your thoughts.
Its an excellent camera. tons of features. Very reasonable. Only issue i have is my battery life on it is quite poor. I also would love if Canon could come up with the Clear Vision Zoom that Sony has.
I have two batteries in my camera bag, plus one in the RP - problem solved. As a plus, all three (numbered) batteries get regular usage/recharge in sequense.
I note that you put "bad" in quotations. Does this imply that you don't really think it's bad? However, I do always try to provide a full picture, so you'll typically find a few reasons not to buy a camera in a review. Anyway, thanks for your kind words and taking the time to comment.
Top Man, Great video. the best all round review of the RP todate. I personally think the viewfinder could be of better definition. I might of misunderstood you about skipping through the menu main tabs, this can be done by pushing the info button. I think that there are a lot of reviewer snobs out there that because the association with the 6D2. they have missed the potential in this camera. You have dispelled that. Well done. best wishes Si
Yes, not sure why the same viewfinder used in the R wasn't used here too. Thanks for the tip about the INFO button, I didn't figure that out. Finally, thank you very much for your kind words, they are appreciated.
@@MaartenHeilbron I'm interesting you say the viewfinder is best on the market at 2.4 Million Dots, do you think it better than the EOS R at 3.6 Million Dots and as some of the Sony's A7 series have. Or is your criteria different? Regards Si.
Nice video. However I wished you touched on using EF lenses or third party EF mount lenses using an adapter. I hope you make another video on this. Thank you.
While I really liked this camera, and if I owned one would certainly not trade it in, my preference would be the X-T3. I like the way it operates and looks.
Not sure about current prices, but consider Fujifilm X-T30 ruclips.net/video/AW2sDwqnUyo/видео.html and the Sony A6100 ruclips.net/video/h48hMeB6sS4/видео.html
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I’m planning to buy my first full frame camera and I think RP going to be good choice ( after your review). Just one question: is it difference in image quality between kit RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM Lens and RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM? Thank you. David
Nice and quite usefull review . Besides price , this camera also stands out as being the lightest full frame system body , wich is the main point for me . If i add the fully mobile screen as i like taking vertical low shots , this becomes the only fit , again in FF . I prefer small primes to zoom but guess what : next week the RP + adapter + rf 35 f1.8 is macro stm are $1600 ... canadian + taxes , so about $2K with cards and batteries . A hard decision since i don't lack equipment but it would be quite a walkaround with much higher iso capabilities than what i already have.
I am mainly interested in still photography, what do you think about the use of manual focus lens on this camera? The absence of internal image stabilization sparks an hesitation in me.
Support for manual focus is reasonable. Peaking offers fewer features and is less sensitive than most. The 10x view though, is very good and useful, although it would be nice to have it switch automatically when using manual focus. While stabilization can be useful, faster lenses, optically stabilized lenses and tripods all provide alternate solutions. I was puzzled that it's not included for stills, as the IS for video is very good.
As with any camera, I recommend that your treat it carefully - for instance not standing under waterfalls or in rainstorms. If you need a camera for extreme weather, look to a camera that's designed for that.
I appreciate your kind words, thanks. I wasn't able to compare them side by side. In general, the lack of native lenses make it less desirable (at the moment) than its competitors.
Why do I even bother with other reviewers? You’re thorough, objective and honest. Classy.
Thank you.
It was a pleasure to read your kind words. However, other reviewers do often identify concerns and delve more deeply into some issues. I would suggest that basing a decision on one article, or video is hasty.
Thank you for the advice, but I don’t tend to make hasty decisions. There is simply to much “binary” information in most reviews. A camera is either the best or the worst, which is polarizing and confusing.
I appreciate the subtle nuances and find your oppinions mostly in line with mine. I turn to Gerald Undone and Chris Nicholls for technical aspects, and to you for a measured overview.

@@y0utube5uxx hehe
Great review about a great camera. Well worth the investment with excellent image quality.
I thought so too. Thanks for your kind words, appreciated.
You do fantastically solid work, sir.
Thank you kindly! I appreciate your comments.
most grumpy old men youtubers hate this amazing cheap full frame camera with incredible color science. i paired my RP with EF 24-70, tiffen circular polarizer to cut some unwanted reflections and godox tt685ii with dome. and the result? it's impressive. i'm also thinking to get the true color vnd filter. the color profile that i used is landscape, my favourite. if you're using this color profile on portrait i suggest to drag the orange hue on lightroom towards left a little bit to avoid green skin tones on your model. this camera is not for wildlife and sports photography. it's still usable but not that great.
I tried to dislike it, but wasn't successful. Thanks for sharing your notes and tips.
@@MaartenHeilbron yes me too. it's just an amazing ff camera.
As always, precise
Thanks, always a pleasure to hear that viewers enjoy my videos.
Hi Maarten. Thanks for the channel and your nice reviews. Is it still worth buying a used RP or is it better to look at newer crop cameras (R10, X-10S/20S)? No specific tasks, general family/travel photography (start with kit lenses, primes in case of RP). Been mostly using the phone for the last few years, but would like to get back to cameras (and trying FF looks tempting). Thanks.
Yes, I think that it's a good used purchase.
Amazing review thanks ! For landscape photography would you recomend the canon rp or the sony a7 III ?
Sure. With the right lens, both are very good choices.
Very good review. Thanks
That's very kind, thanks.
Great Channel I just subscribed and bought this camera thank you!
Thanks for your kind words, and your subscription, appreciated.
well done- great review
Thank you kindly! A pleasure to read your kind words.
Hoi Maarten, Thank you for this excellent video! I am in the process of buying this camera. The thing I not 100% sure about is whether to get the 50mm F1.8 or the 24-105 F4-F7.1 lens. The main use of the camera will be food photography. I think I should get both at the end of the day, but which lens would you recommend to get me started. Groetjes uit Noorwegen, Richard
While the f1.8 aperture will provide better photos in low light, 50mm is a little long for food photography - you may end up standing on chairs. The 24-105 is likely the better choice, but a wide-angle large aperture prime might better - or add a flash to your purchase.
Excellent, comprehensive review. You noted the lack of panorama. Is there a simple way to video and later convert to a pano still??
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words. No. Just take stills and use photoshop or other to stitch them together - that provides a better result anyway.
Thanks for your valuable review. I just got mine with 35/1.8 today :D
I appreciate your kind words, thanks for commenting.
This very nice information about canon rp and video setting start at 19.25 to 25.30 so enjoy the learning
Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for your kind words.
Subscribed. I LOVE your reviews can you talk about the benefit of the RF lenses over the EF? Thanks for this video
Although I will ask, Canon Canada recently has not been cooperative enough to think that will happen.
I've just bought that camera and your video is very useful."That FV mode does it all"As for me I don't really know yet what to think about it but I feel I could easily do without it.Thanks and congratulation on your channel .By the way I live in Auvergne,next to Clermont-Ferrand and I was wondering why you did not do some videos in French , as I am sure you can speak French...
Happy to read that you appreciate my videos. I'm envious of your location - we love France and it has been very to not be able to travel. ruclips.net/video/xDhF5SvwVRI/видео.html
Although I do speak French, it's not enough to convey the complex concepts and detailed technical aspects of cameras in 2022. There are others who do it much better.
We just bought one - having some issues taking pics of moving subjects - we primarily wanted to be able to shoot bans at concerts - sports etc. all moving targets- any pointers. surely this camera is good for this - we are entry level and used a T7 before - this is our first full frame so be gentle on us - we just need some pointers! Thank you in advance
What issues are you having? Which lens(s) are you using?
TY for detailed
Video. I am Planning to buy RP with lens RF 24-105 mm F4-7.1 IS STM lens. Do you recommend this combo for indoor videography? OR you prefer RP with any specific lens for indoor videography. Please suggest your thoughts.
You'll prefer a lens with a wider aperture for indoors. Alternately, buy a flash.
@@MaartenHeilbron thank you for your reply. Any recommended lens around less than $600 USD.
Sorry, don't have enough experience/knowledge of Canon-specific lenses.
Its an excellent camera. tons of features. Very reasonable. Only issue i have is my battery life on it is quite poor. I also would love if Canon could come up with the Clear Vision Zoom that Sony has.
It didn't seem quite poor to me. And there's always the option to buy another battery. With the 4K crop, it's just like the Clear Vision Zoom!
@@MaartenHeilbron I mean using the crop more for stills. I do wish it had that ability.
@@BJJandBS For stills, I would not use those kinds of tools in camera. Crop your images in post. Anything else reduces quality.
I have two batteries in my camera bag, plus one in the RP - problem solved. As a plus, all three (numbered) batteries get regular usage/recharge in sequense.
@@kospaang An excellent plan, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for another wonderful video
Always nice to see your avatar in the comments, always nice to read your nice words.
This guy is so pleasant it's refreshing.
This guy thanks you for your kind words.
The "bad" thing about your reviews is that I wish i could buy every camera you show !!!
I note that you put "bad" in quotations. Does this imply that you don't really think it's bad? However, I do always try to provide a full picture, so you'll typically find a few reasons not to buy a camera in a review. Anyway, thanks for your kind words and taking the time to comment.
Top Man, Great video. the best all round review of the RP todate. I personally think the viewfinder could be of better definition.
I might of misunderstood you about skipping through the menu main tabs, this can be done by pushing the info button. I think that there are a lot of reviewer snobs out there that because the association with the 6D2. they have missed the potential in this camera. You have dispelled that. Well done. best wishes Si
Yes, not sure why the same viewfinder used in the R wasn't used here too. Thanks for the tip about the INFO button, I didn't figure that out.
Finally, thank you very much for your kind words, they are appreciated.
@@MaartenHeilbron I'm interesting you say the viewfinder is best on the market at 2.4 Million Dots, do you think it better than the EOS R at 3.6 Million Dots and as some of the Sony's A7 series have. Or is your criteria different? Regards Si.
@@saintsi6997 Sorry, my mistake, I was thinking about the R, not the RP, I've edited my comments.
Nice video. However I wished you touched on using EF lenses or third party EF mount lenses using an adapter. I hope you make another video on this. Thank you.
That's an excellent suggestion, however, I don't think I can accommodate your request.
You, over everyone else on RUclips, I trust. Curious for yourself, would you choose this or the Fuji XT3?
While I really liked this camera, and if I owned one would certainly not trade it in, my preference would be the X-T3. I like the way it operates and looks.
Great Reviewing!
Can you suggest camera under 1000 dollar US for portrait photography. Your suggestions is highly appreciated.
Not sure about current prices, but consider Fujifilm X-T30 ruclips.net/video/AW2sDwqnUyo/видео.html and the Sony A6100 ruclips.net/video/h48hMeB6sS4/видео.html
@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks a lot! 🙏
Is there focus peaking?
Yes.
Excellent review
I appreciate your kind words, thanks.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I’m planning to buy my first full frame camera and I think RP going to be good choice ( after your review). Just one question: is it difference in image quality between kit RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM Lens and RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM? Thank you. David
A lens with a fixed minimum aperture (F4) is always preferable to one with a ramped (F4-F7) aperture.
Thanks, a pleasure to read your kind words.
nothing like a swivel screen - good stuff
Agreed, thanks for the kind words.
Nice and quite usefull review . Besides price , this camera also stands out as being the lightest full frame system body , wich is the main point for me . If i add the fully mobile screen as i like taking vertical low shots , this becomes the only fit , again in FF . I prefer small primes to zoom but guess what : next week the RP + adapter + rf 35 f1.8 is macro stm are $1600 ... canadian + taxes , so about $2K with cards and batteries . A hard decision since i don't lack equipment but it would be quite a walkaround with much higher iso capabilities than what i already have.
Thanks for the kind words - I sympathize with your plight. All camera decisions have become complicated with no simple solutions.
I am mainly interested in still photography, what do you think about the use of manual focus lens on this camera? The absence of internal image stabilization sparks an hesitation in me.
Support for manual focus is reasonable. Peaking offers fewer features and is less sensitive than most. The 10x view though, is very good and useful, although it would be nice to have it switch automatically when using manual focus.
While stabilization can be useful, faster lenses, optically stabilized lenses and tripods all provide alternate solutions. I was puzzled that it's not included for stills, as the IS for video is very good.
How would you rate the weather sealing on the RP?
As with any camera, I recommend that your treat it carefully - for instance not standing under waterfalls or in rainstorms. If you need a camera for extreme weather, look to a camera that's designed for that.
Whoa. Love the review and your style reminds me of Jay Ingram. Subbed!
That's very kind, thanks for taking the time to comment and to subscribe.
Thanks a lot fpr this review...
How does it compare with 6Dm2 or a7ii..?
I appreciate your kind words, thanks. I wasn't able to compare them side by side. In general, the lack of native lenses make it less desirable (at the moment) than its competitors.
Good revew. Thank you.
Always nice to read kind words from an appreciative viewer.
very nice review ! did you ever miss not having an internal flash ?
Thanks for the kind words. I didn't, but I don't use flash much and when I do an optional flash is much more flexible and useful to me.
Very instructive
Thanks for your kind words.
Why do you suggest using Photoshop for reconstructing focus bracketed images rather than the free DPP facility. Does the Canon software not work?
It’s the only tool I know. Use whichever you prefer. Didn’t try the Canon software.
