Canon eos RP - A Fun Little Budget Full-frame Camera 

Thank you very much for your suggestion and also watching, really appreciate it. :-) Regarding the work around, I think I am personally too lazy for that but thank you for the suggestion though. :-) I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

Yeah, it is still a great and versatile camera to take to all places and it is such an easy camera to love using because it just works and the images are great! :-) Thanks you very much for watching and also for sharing your story, really appreciated it. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have funs shooting! :-)

Do you find it heavy?

@@Lepewhi Nope, not at all. My camera bag is heavy, because I also have a 70-200 and a 16-35 though haha. Its my own fault.

@@usuallyroamingrob3427 But expensive lenses? I mean compared to M4/3 or other crop sensor lenses.

@@Lepewhi Yeah full frame lenses are generally more expensive.

Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your experience, really appreciated it! ☺️ Yeah, the RP still delivers great results yet versatile in such a small package! I am too loving my RP and the colour science is still really good. It is indeed underrated by many RU-vidrs because the specs on paper just doesn’t fit their requirements… but as a camera that it was intended to be, it really is super reliable and delivers more than what it promised. Thank you very much again for watching and for sharing your story/experience! I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! ☺️

Yeah, it's a very capable camera for the price and size. :-) I am sure you'll produce great results with it once you get it! :-) I thank you very much for watching and also for commenting, really appreciated it. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

Thank you for watching and also for such kind words, really means a lot! I am also glad that you found my video helpful. :-) My camera videos are not review videos but really just my thoughts about the cameras that I use and hope that by sharing my thoughts about them might help people know about the camera a little bit more... The Canon eos RP though does not have the most features in the price range, but it does deliver the quality and what it promises. The built quality is great yet in a small and light body which makes it easy to carry. I really highly recommend this camera. :-) I thank you very much again for watching, for your kind words and also for putting the effort into the comment, really appreciated it. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

@@DavidCuhls You’re most welcome. It was a very informative video. It sounds like a good quality camera. Much lighter than our Canon 7D to work with and carry around. Will be going to a camera store to check out the Canon EOS RP and some others brands. Appreciate the explanation about the camera and your kindness. I look forward to learning how to use the camera with friends who are photographers.

Thank you very much for watching as well as for the kind words, very much appreciated it. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

Thank you very much for watching, I am glad that you found my video informative. :-) If you have any questions feel free to ask at anytime and I will do my best to answer. Otherwise I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

Thank you for your support, really means a lot! :-) I thank you very much for watching, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

Yes indeed, I also think that the RP is an underrated camera and that "underrated" is also fuelled by a lot of RU-vidrs who just simply didn't find the camera fitting their needs thus giving it really low reviews... But after spending sometime with the camera, it is easy to see how the camera still delivers the good results as well as what it promises to deliver. Furthermore, it has a very rugged build yet in a light and small body size. Thank you very much for watching and also for sharing your story/experience with the camera, really appreciated it. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting. :-)

Thanks for watching and also for the compliment! Yeah, I highly recommend the sticker! It really personalise your camera a bit further and also prevent d simple light scratches, which is a plus. :-) Thank you very much again for watching, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

Where can we get them?

Save for the R6 and thank me later. I have RP and R6 - just save the $$$ for R6

I think if you can only pick between the R and the RP at the moment, maybe it's best to get the R. In my experience of using both, the R is really worth the extra upgrade. I am not talking in terms of resolution for video and photos.. But the faster and more reliable operational side of the camera is hard to over look, the dynamic range, the colour science, bigger and more accurate electronic viewfinder, the longer battery life, the ability to operate faster yet more efficiently are all the factors that makes the R so hard to overlook and worth that extra upgrade over the RP. Especially when the eos R can be found so much cheaper now in secondhand condition, I think that for a long term investment, the R will be a better investment than the RP. Also, at the end, you might find the the R will achieve all the general things you want a camera to do. :-) That said, if at the end you decided to upgrade to something like the R6, then you still can but I think the R will still be a better long term investment than the RP especially with such a low gap in price for secondhand options... Hope that helps somewhat. I thank you very much for watching and also for the compliment, very much appreciated it! :-) I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

Thank you for watching and for your support as always! Really means a lot! :-) Yeah, the RP is really a little monster of a camera that is easy to fall I love with. The reliability, toughness, autofocusing system and colour science are some of the strong points of this camera. I also agree, 400-800 iso is roughly the sweet spot for the dynamic range of this camera. :-) Congrats on the lens! I’ve been wanting to try that lens but haven’t got a proper chance yet… but I am sure that you’ll produce great results with it! Thank you as always for watching, sharing your experience/story and for supporting! I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

@@DavidCuhls my first thoughts on the lens are very positive, it looks like a really good bang for the buck. But I got it on sale for 300€, which is a steal. Was on the camera the hole time now since I bought it. At the end of the month it will be my main lens on a paid shoot in a club. I am very interested in how it performs. If you want to try it out and randomly happen to be around in my area, you can try out mine :)

Ohh wow! €300 for the rf 35mm is really a great deal, congrats again! :-) I heard a lot of good things about the lens and I also really love the size of it. Haha yeah, maybe next year though because this year I am already a bit busy. I believe you told me sometime ago that you are based in Saarland right? I've seen a lot of nice images from Saarland (well, little towns there). So maybe next year I'll add it to one of my destinations! :-)

@@DavidCuhls yeah I am based in the Saarland, but the next few month I am travelling a lot trough Germany. Saarland can be beautiful if you know the spots, also it is bigger than most people think. If you are in the area feel free to message me, than I can tell/show you some spots ☺️ The size of the lens is pretty nice. Great to walk around if it all day. And I know the deal was very good. The local media Markt is closing its camera sales so they sold everything really cheap. ☺️

@@Maxschorrfoto and what’s also great about Saarland is that everyone is related to each other. Very familiar there. Sorry Max, I couldn’t resist 🙈

Thank you so much for the kind words and I am glad you found it helpful. :-) As mentioned in the video actually, I was using the Canon eos R6 to film and the lens I used to film was the RF 15-35mm. Hope that helps, thank you very much again for the kind words and also for watching, really appreciated it. I with you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

@@DavidCuhls thank you David.

Yeah, I think most people also don't need 4K as most people are consuming contents mainly in 1080p or sometimes 2.7k since most people still either consume their media content through smart phones or older generation monitors... Also, a good 1080p is still more than good enough even for creating professional looking contents. That said, the RP is still indeed a great camera that will still go where ever you want to take it to and will still deliver great results. :-) Thank you very much for watching and sharing your thoughts, very much appreciated it. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

@@DavidCuhls You stay safe, too, buddy. I love watching you talk about old cameras and cameras most folks overlook.

I got the skin from AliExpress (but many local camera stores will also carry this kind of protective skin sticker, it’s just the question of if they have the patterns that you like). Hope that helps. :-) I thank you very much for watching, really appreciated it. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

It's actually a protective skin (sticker/cover) for the camera. :-) Yeah, the Canon eos RP is still a great camera and for general purpose of photography, I would still highly recommend it. :-) It is also reliable, weather sealed and also very portable. Thank you very much for watching and for the compliment! I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

@@DavidCuhls Where did you get it, online? Thanks, and subscribed.

Yeah, I got it from Aliexpress (but you can also look else where because some local camera stores will also have them, Amazon will also have them as well :-) )

I think that comes down to how important would a "full-frame" matter to you... If it doesn't really matter that much, the video quality is much better on the R10 (much sharper as well even in only 1080p) and it will also deliver better photo files if you would like to edit them. Furthermore, there are other features of the R10 that makes taking pictures and videos so much more easy/convenient and that is the autofocusing system. So much faster and way more accurate. The r10 also comes with the benefit of cropped-frame, which will allow you to mount cheaper rf-s lenses (should be coming more in the future as well) or even the adapter cheaper ef-s lenses as well. That said, I know to some people (including me), that full frame look is very important... And if the full frame look is also important to you, then the RP would be a better choice. :-) Hope that helps somewhat. I thank you very much for watching, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

@@DavidCuhls Thank you so much for this helpful information. I think i get the point which one i will buy.

Oooh, they are two very different cameras and I wouldn’t dare say bad things about the 5d mark iii since I truly love the colours of that camera… So I’ll have to be biased here and say from my experience/preference. For me, when it comes to colour science and the handling of the camera, I will pick the 5d mark iii anytime, any day over the eos RP… But I also have to admit that the newer technology of the RP makes my life much easier, especially with the autofocusing system during live-view plus that detailed articulating screen. So for practicality and portability, I’d pick the eos RP over the 5d mark iii. That said, they are both really great and reliable camera that you can’t really go wrong. Ohh, if you want more battery life per charge, the 5d mark iii will also outlast the tiny battery of the RP… But that’s just based on my biased experience and preference. You and other people might find it totally different. Hope that helps a bit. Thank you very much for watching, I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

It’s not really customisable but by default, you just have to press the AF point selection button on the top right of the camera at the thumb pad area and then press the m-fn button to toggle the AF modes around and therefore also turning on and off the eye AF… other than that , I am not sure how to turn it on or off any other short way… I personally didn’t see it in my button customising menu, which is weird because the option is available on my R, R5 and R6… But I hope that helps somewhat… I thank you very much for watching, wishing you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)

I got the eye detection autofocus assigned to one of the 4 buttons pad at the back of my RP . Go to custom settings menu/ operation/Others / Customize buttons

Ahh, thanks for sharing, really helpful!! Have a great time and have fun shooting! :-)
