    It's an excellent camera which can be used for not so experienced photographers as well as professional ones. You only have to know it's limitations, and understand what it gives you for the price. Of course there are better ones, but they will also be more expensive. I think in 2023, you can consider getting an used one for about $600 to $700. Also, I have it with the ef to rf adapter, and all my lenses are ef ones. They work flawlessly and have no issues with af or image quality.

    It was my first full frame mirrorless camera. There are many better options nowadays but for some reason I still love it. The grip is perfect for me and it is so light... Video is pretty much useless but for photography is good enough.
    I also use it as a webcam with a elgato camlink and the 35mm f1.8. Flawless for three years, 8 hours a day non stop.

You want dual card slot, dont get this. You want fast autofocus and fast shooting for wild life or sports, dont get this (if you cant live with losing shots). If you shoot portraits or landscape it's another story. I dont know of any other FF camera you can get with a good kitlens for this price.

    I love the RP so much. I don't think I've ever geled with a camera this much before.
    Today I got to try the R8, I was looking forward to certain features and a better dynamic range etc. The AF is much faster and reliable, but apart from that, actually the new features did nothing for me. Also, the menu was clunky and annoying, and I honestly couldn't tell the difference in dynamic range and IQ with the RP.
    I hate how they've replaced the nice and solid metal on/off switch with a cheap plasticky photo/video dial. That thing will break after a few months, I'm sure. The RP however is a tank. The new on/off switch also has "lock" in between, so whenever you switch the camera on or off, you get two clicks instead of one, and honestly that really puts me off for some reason haha.
    Also, I don't know if it's because the R8 is being manufactured in a rush atm and the plastic and electronics parts don't have enough time to cure before hitting the shelves, but my goodness does this camera SMELL. Like acetone, it's really strong. I got a headache after a while. The camera also started overheating just while playing around with menu settings. Erm...
    So my conclusion is: stick with / get the RP instead. It's a solid little camera with everything you need for photography (granted less so for video but still it's there and pretty decent), and most of all it's an absolute joy to use.

    • @jaytcapinpin
      @jaytcapinpin Год назад +2

      Great point of view. However, the AF performance alone for some people who really need the quicker focusing system will benefit from it (sports, wildlife,) but other than that, yes the RP is still VERY capable. 👍🏼

    RP is a good camera especially for still photography. I've never been able to get used to the small form factor. but from travel its great. the price also makes me less stressed out when carrying it around sketchy places. currently backpacking around east africa with my RP and a 24-105 f/4 and a 35mm 1.8. I think eventually I will upgrade to the R6 though. Although I'll probably still hold onto the RP as a second body.

    • @ViewsofHarry

    Just bought this camera as an upgrade to my canon m100. However on the fence about keeping it, as I learned it has a lower dynamic range than the m100 even though that’s 1/3rd the price and aps-c. Being the only thing I care about (alongside low light performance) it was pretty much a downgrade.
    I’m already pushing the aps-c 12.9 stops DR, so I’ll be fairing even worse with the RP at 11.9 stops.
    I summit and shoot in the same Rockies you showed in your examples. And the photo at moraine lake you showed the sky was badly blown out. Not confidence inspiring.

    • @ViewsofHarry
      @ViewsofHarry  Год назад +2

      That’s very interesting to hear. I’ve never looked into specific numbers for dynamic range on the RP so I haven’t compared it to a camera like the M100. Definitely learned something new.
      The shot at Moraine Lake is unfortunately overexposed in the sky, but that may have been my own fault since I didn’t properly expose for the highlights.

      I’ve never had a t7 before so I can’t say exactly how big of a jump there will be in low light performance. But, considering you’re going from aps-c to full frame and a digic 4+ processor to digic 8, you should definitely see some low light improvements.

    2 main issues with Canon RP are the fact it only accepts official Canon lenses that are extremely expensive. 2nd fact is that it has way worse dynamic for stops of light than Nikon Z5 making it unable to recover much detail between bright and dark spots. Nikon Z5 can use old Nikon FX and 3rd party lenses top of Nikon Z lenses.

    Hi I’m been trying to look for an upgrade, currently I own a t7 rebel with a sigma 85 art lens. I lost my 50 EF 1.8 lens. Currently my rebel shutter speed is terrible with the 85 art lens and only works on the flash off auto setting. Do you think I should invest in the rp is it a massive upgrade

    • @ViewsofHarry
      @ViewsofHarry  10 месяцев назад

      If you’re looking to step into the Canon mirrorless system and want an affordable option, the RP will be great coming from the t7 rebel. It’ll offer Canon’s fantastic dual pixel autofocus that’s a big step up from the autofocus system used on the t7 rebel. You’ll also see better image quality bc of the RP’s full frame sensor compared to the t7 rebel’s APS-C sensor.

      If you’re planning to do product photography then imo the RP is a great camera for that, especially if you can find a good deal on it (realistically any mirrorless camera is). Although I would maybe recommend eventually getting a prime lens for sharper images and shallow depth of field.

    • @ViewsofHarry
      @ViewsofHarry  10 месяцев назад

      Ooo this will be an interesting choice, since both shares very similar features and limitations. Both have a heavily cropped 4K video, but if you’re main focus is stills it won’t matter to you. The Z5 does have dual card slot if you’re into that (I personally don’t use the 2nd slot on my R6 Mk II) and IBIS which I think is great. But the RP comes in at a lower price, has a slightly higher megapixel sensor, and I’m gonna sound like a broken record, but I’m very much biased towards that fantastic Canon colours haha. I think it’ll also depends on which system you have investments like lenses in too. Would love to hear what camera you decided to go with!

      @@user-np8mn7vt1b from my experience using the R6 Mk II, the differences are very minor. Most of the time I don’t notice it since it’s still Canon colours, only on very rare occasions will I notice a difference using some old presets I made for my RP. I wasn’t super clear with my other comment, but honestly speaking, I rarely see the difference in colours (cause it’s still Canon colours like I mentioned earlier), that’s just from what I can tell, others might notice a bit more than me. The most difference you’ll see is in dynamic range and low light noise performance.

      It’s true, the RP doesn’t have slow motion such as 120p and it has many limitations when it comes to video, such as no dual pixel AF in 4K or clog3. But shooting 60p still will allow for slow motion at 50% if you slow down to 30p (which I did a lot and still do even with my R6 Mk II) and you can slow down even more if you do 24p. It does have interval shooting mode that’s found in other Canon cameras which will allow you to create a timelapse. Despite its many limitations, it’s still an incredible beginner camera for its price on the used market rn, at least imo.
