I've watched so many videos comparing the two cameras, most much longer in length, that never make any conclusions. I appreciate that you took the time to explain how they compare in a quick and concise manner. Liked and subscribed!
Just bought the RP for the second time. I guess I wasn’t ready for mirrorless the first time because I went back to the 6D. Now I appreciate the RP much more. I use it for stills only and I find the DR acceptable, especially at high ISO, where I believe the difference with other cameras is much less. I use it for events mainly. Focus is not a major problem - in low light, find a contrast edge and it works fine. I use mainly focus and recompose because in a crowd, the automated face recognition mode it always chooses the wrong face! But I do use it for speakers and performers with tracking because you have to take lots is shots to get a keeper. The only thing missing is a joystick. The focus point wanders randomly if the touchscreen is live. I often turn touch focus off when things are moving fast. Good value for money but not the best for video and maybe landscapes. Good video.
Both are good cameras for those in the market for a used camera but I wouldn’t recommend buying either new. I had an RP for the past 3 years and it is a great little camera but the R8 is far superior to both the RP and R for not significantly more. If the R8 is out of your price range and you want in the R system, get a used R or RP and spend the money you save on lenses. You can always upgrade the body later when you have all the glass you want. Just don’t buy a new R or RP in 2023.
We chose the RP for the simple fact that we got it on sale refurbished from canon for 699 a few weeks ago. Its an amazing camera and pretty hard to beat for 699 US! Great review!
I am also tossing between the RP vs R (2nd hand market though) I managed to find one on marketplace RP with low shutter count, warranty until 2025, 50mm 1.8 lens, EF to RF adapter and Lowerpro camera bag for only $1050AUD. The Cheapest R body I found was about $1350 body only so bang for the buck I think ill go with the RP. I hope I am making the right decision here haha
I have the RP and really think it's a very capable camera for professional work. Obviously, if you are able to get something better, I would go for an R6mki or mkii but if you have an RP and want to make a significative upgrade I wouldn't recommend de eos R. The thing about the dinamic range is true, it could be better, also the lack of af in 4k, and the tiny battery. In my case, when i'm shooting in low light, I am able to get focus where I want most of the time (I usually take photos of rock bands at dark places). If you are on a budget and find it maybe on second hand, you should give it a try.
I'm between the EOS R and the Nikon Z5, used. With the Nikon i can adapt Nikon F, Canon EF and Sony lenses, with AF even in video, and have third party AF Z mount lenses. The Z5 have IBIS. With the Canon I have a seamless path, and can adapt my EF lenses from my DSLRs. No IBIS, no third party lenses
Good video on the two cameras. I own them both and the R is a more robust camera. One of the reasons I bought the R was the sensor cover that covers the sensor when the camera is turned off. You have to go to the Nikon Z8 and Z9 to get a sensor protector. I change lenses often, so this saves me in time spent cleaning the sensor. This is a feature I miss having on my Nikon Z6ll, Sony a7Rlll, and the various Fujifilm cameras I shoot.
@@spazbandicooti would do it. The only thing i like about the RP against the R is the weight. I am tempted to get an R8 because of it's weight and better performance over those 2 but the price is a problem. I also don't like that the RP in MF has not that guide line to tell you when you are in focus , which all others have it. And about sensor protection you can trick your RP to do that either
Thank you! I do edit the photos, but other than that the only thing that comes to mind are the color profiles. I always used my eos r with the neutral color profile.
Thank you so freakin much buddy. I have literally ran over UA-cam watching n number of videos on R vs RP. You earned a sub buddy. Tho my main purpose is night club and portraits, which don’t show much of difference with both the bodies but considering future proofing and my thoughts to enter wedding photography. Will go with the R. For others: The price tag might tempt you on the RP but I don’t think it will stand that much for professional work.
I always use two bodies on a job. Two RPs is a better option than one R, R8 or R6. Having two different lenses available (could be two primes or zooms) is very useful but having a backup is even more important. My first one broke while out shooting. The warranty repair was pretty quick but getting stranded mid session is awful. My backup is currently a 6D but another RP would be better.
I mainly shoot real estate and I have a personal vlog. I’d love to minimize to just one camera I can do both with. Right now I have two cameras and it becomes a bit of a pain. Definitely looking into the RP.
Watching in 2024 im thinking of getting an RP or an R for my second body to mainly use with an adapted ef to rf 85 f1.4 to pair with my R6 which is my main body I use to shoot wedding photography. I found a used RP on FB marketplace for $500 and am seeing some used R for $900 should I spend the extra $400 for the R?
@@stanphotography12 then why saying anything at all? there is a difference in simple data, like stating the obvious that there is two different sensors; and information, usually in technology a more recent sensor (I don't know if it is the case) have some improvements, while some, in Fujifilms, would prefer the color reproduction of a previous sensor. Of course sensor isn't the whole picture.
The conclusion here in 2023 -- go with the R over the RP -- is no different from when the two cameras came out a few years back. Don't know why a comparo today would be any different from a comparo back then.
Doesn‘t matter because it doesn‘t even work. I‘ve learned the hard way that when transfering long video files through the usb-c cable, they get corrupted. :/
@@juljanskurani you have to use the right cable that has the pd spec. as well as the correct transfer rate otherwise you’ll get USB 2 speeds. I wouldn’t trust it for transfer anyway though. Just nice that it charges the battery right in the camera for those times I leave my charger behind not thinking I need it.
I have many Sony, Olympus and Canon M50s and RPs, but the photo and video results are the worst with the Canon. Especially the noise in the video is brutal. The Olympus MTF sensor and the one-inch Sony RX100 VI make less noise than the Full RP, and I'm not even talking about the M50. Canon is fine in terms of the menu, the possibility of manual intervention in video and AF is fine, but otherwise they make terrible noise and snow.
@@zegzbrutal Sony, Olympus and Canon cameras were set up the same and were in the same lighting. The Sony RX100 VI was the same, even better than the FF Canon RP, the Canon M50 was a complete flop. This only concerns the noise, otherwise the Canons are excellent, but they make the most noise.

RP in 2023? For photos only? It’s ok-ish. For video? No. It’s way too compromised. Honestly, the RP was seriously compromised in 2019 when it launched.

Bought RP last week, happy with it ❤ cost USD$800 with educational discount
Enjoy it!
$800usd body only? brand new?
Good video - thanks. Dynamic range and increased night shooting means the R is a better choice for me.
Your eos R image looks good bro ,I found many photos from eos R has very visible green tint .what is your camera setting?
Thank you! I do edit the photos, but other than that the only thing that comes to mind are the color profiles. I always used my eos r with the neutral color profile.

You managed to answer every question I had so well. Saving for a little longer to get the R definitely feels like the right choice now. Cheers

Glad you liked it! True, thanks for adding that in! :)
so you saying the RP has the better sensor?

How does the canon r10 compare to Rp and R
Great video man ! R all the way
Appreciate it!
The transfer speed doesn’t matter. I’m just glad to be able to charge the battery when I plug in my camera to my computer now.

I actually want to buy one camera for the first time., I agree ☝️ with you bro
I buy Eos r camera 📸
Have fun with it!! Glad I could help! 😊
thanks for sharing
Love the vid bro♥️
Thank youu!! ❤️🫶🏻🫶🏻
i am a photographer looking to upgrade from the canon eos 700D. im looking to switch to either of these lenses any recommendations?
on money.
SL3/250D (APSC)
RP
R
R8
R7 (APSC
On the RP do I need adapter for my lens ? ASP or Full frame Lens
You need full frame RF lenses. If you have EF mount lenses, then you need an adapter.
very good video, i would get the eos r.
Thank you!! Good choice. :)
i think if you can find a RP body around 500 euro, its still a no brainer in 2023
Where? Even 2nd hand is around 750 in the Netherlands
Everything comes down to money. Buy what you can afford so long as you have enough to buy lenses and accessories.
R8

make more videos on rp ♥️
Refurbished RP by Canon US only $599 😂
Well if the RP is priced for $599 that’s a steal right lol
Dynamic range really is not good on RP... it's like 11 stops. That's awful.
Canon RP runs around 699$ im not sure where ur getting the 1200$
I check the prices from canon Austria, because that’s where I’m based. At the moment it‘s 1098€. :)
