Seriously the best review I've found to fully and easily explain the differences between these cameras. Very easy to understand and to the point. Kudos.
Meh...Maybe I expected too much. This just felt like a regurgitation of the spec sheet. I could spend 2 mins on either sheets to get that information. It's well laid out on Canon's site. But I guess persons would rather watch a video that takes longer, idk. What I came into this expecting was to see a difference with how they operate. How does a typical workflow differ between the two? How are the image qualities coming out of the camera appear side by side? What's the battery life like in a real world use case? Yea it has the same from Rebel line, but my SL3 can last me the whole day. Can this go even half that or more with real (defined) usage? I got really nothing from this video. The only tactile information I am walking away with is, the body is shorter but does come with an extension which makes it taller. Besides that...it was just a spec sheet video. At the end of the day, this video wasn't meant for me. If you were looking skip the reading material on the site, then I guess it's perfect.
Dude, you did a great job on this video. Quick and to the point and no BS. You’re really good at making these kinds of videos. Thank you! I got what I came for here.
Thank you for doing a review that doesn't bash either just because they dont have a video feature. Other videographers have been bashing the R and RP because of it missing a couple features that are used for videographers.
Damn the physics! One of the reasons to go mirrorless is reduced size and weight but then for full frame you have these massive lenses if you want fast lenses...
Thanks for the clean, easy review! I got the Canon R for couple reasons 1. 1/8000 vs 1/4000 2. Better ISO and DR 3. I already own a ton of LPE17 (R batts) from my 5D4 and 6D2 4. Shutter protecting screen is a bonus One thing I wish R had that the RP does: 1. Eye AF on AI Servo. The R only has Eye AF on one shot mode.
I went for the R. The battery life is important and I have several batteries from my 60d and 6d. The screen resolution was another feature that was needed. If I did not have the extra grand, I probably would had been fine with the RP.
@@HEREONOUTBAILEY I found it especially the focus system. I own the 6D too and like to use live view mode for the good focus accuracy on face and eye. Sometimes it is quite slow when compare with R series but it is still impressed for me. In my opinion, you should buy the RP and use with your 6D. It is the best choice for portrait photography and other events than buying only eos R.
@@HEREONOUTBAILEY That is one of the trouble 😂. Perhaps we should wait for the new generation of R series, then wait for the R's discount. Overall, 6D is still good.
Phoowanart Jittana That’s the annoying thing with the RP, the size of the batteries & the fact they’re not the same type as the majority of Canon users already own.
Great love the way you list the specs on the left and right - easy to visualize as you copare. I think EOS RP is still a good good step for non-pro video makers that want FF view AND LOW LIGHT performance. ---> I *WISH* someone would do a full comparison between FF vs APS-C / M43 with an emphasis on low light video. Yes M43 can use a speedbooster to adapt a non-native FF lenses BUT that adds 1. cost, 2. bulk and weight 3. sharpness 4. could impact autofocus? OPTION #2 overcome the crop with a 24mm wideangle M43 lens but that is expensive and at least 1 or 2 f-stops slower?? than a 50mm FF.
The eos rp is awsome for its price. I use this camera proffesionaly with adapter for ef lenses and it works like native. Also i use native rf lenses. I own also the eos R and i dont see real difference in results only some specs is better.
Very good comparison video-review! Balanced, fast, compliments. I already fallen into the RP and... the most big CON I felt is the lack of Dualpixel (or even a 5D mkII autofocus-level) on 4K. I felt that Canon has purposely removed, maybe via software 😕, I literaly feels that it's there...
I shoot a lot of video so I use Canon video cameras and not mirrorless or DSLRs. I am currently use a Vixia HF G40 HD video camera but I'm looking at the XA-55. Why screw around with these for videography when Canon has a fine line of pro-sumer up to the great line of cinematography cameras.
Thanks for your honest review, I'm in the midst of deciding which cam to buy as I'm a newbie. This review was pretty straightforward and simple. Definitely subscribing to your channel.
Getting into something new is scary. I totally understand why your concerned about you first purchase! I think I really depends on your budget... as a "newbie" are there other things that you need? Say a capable computer, lighting, or lenses for other shots? Dont forget you may need to purchase editing software for that new computer as well... I would ask around to people you know personally that are in the business. For example, if the camera your using now was given to you to borrow, what might that person say? What are you planning on using the camera specifically for? Pictures? Videos? Both? I have a feeling that there may even be a better option for you depending on what you plan on doing with it... I say, save as much money as possible and budget tightly. Get what's necessary and not what is "wanted." Master the basics and your skills first, then, when your ready, you'll know exactly what you need to upgrade. Hope this helps!!
@@johnscaduto9332 Thanks so much for your feedback! It's jam packed with so much info but this is probably the things I need to consider, moving forward. Great points! Thanks again! God bless.
You will notice that the R6 is a huge upgrade over the M50. The R is good if you are mostly shooting stills in daytime or are shooting wildlife and would actually benefit from the 1.76x crop in 4K. Otherwise just go with the R6. Have you made your purchase already?
@@cjm8160 Not yet, I'm still saving up for one or the other. My original timeliness was this spring but I may push that to fall or end of year. The issue is price, as the R6 is significantly more expensive over the R. Though it does have a ton of features I would like, it's definitely overkill for my non-professional use.
SD Cards: "On the RP, Canon moved into the base of the camera sort of like the Fuji X System" ??? FYI, except for the X100's/X-T20/30, all the higher end X-T2/X-Pro2/X-H1/X-T3 Fujis have Card Slots on the side of the camera...
love you man, I like the RP, only grutch I have is the battery change. but price is great. I'm going to buy one right now. I really appreciate your video
It's interesting though: not even Canon themselves consider the R a 'pro' body... even though it has the same sensor as the 5D Mark IV. Rumor says a "pro" EOS R is coming this year!
I was stressing about affording a R by next month for a new shoot I was hired for because my 30d isnt cutting it anymore litterally every upgrade that the R has over the RP is stuff I don't care about so 🤷🏻♂️ guess Im going with the RP
I just wanna know....which model has a better focusing system AND works better in low light?....That is what is keeping me from making a final decision.....
I’ve been a canon user for a long time, now the 5d4. My lenses are all manual focus zeiss. I have a dozen after selling off the Ls. I purchased the Fuji XT2 system for the size but not as stellar as full frame and harder to process. I do big prints for galleries. I’m looking at R or RP to take advantage of basically what is focus peaking. Any idea what my best option is?
I would go for the RP but I have batteries that will fit the R and buying different batteries is bothersome. I also have the M50 which doesn't even fit the RP battery.
I have the Canon m50 and it has 24mp sensor compared to the eos RP that is 26mp. That's not much of a difference. Am I going to see a huge different in photo quality between the m50 and eos RP or do I need to jump up higher than that?
If you shoot in controlled lightings spaces or good lighting in general then m50 is worth it but if u shoot in low ligh conditions alot then it will struggle and the rp is better due to the fullframe sensor
one thing I can't tell is the difference between the multiple exposure modes in the two cameras--are they the same or does the EOS R have more functions?
$80 for a grip that's only purpose is to give your pinky a place to lay on?? C'mon Canon!! Why not just make the actual body slightly bigger in height?
I went from an 80D to an RP and was blown away. I have no interest in video so this camera was a fantastic upgrade for all my L series lenses. Both are great cameras and we still have a higher end version to come apparently so that will be exciting to see if it is true.
Hey what is your thoughts on the RP battery ? Im also an 80D user. I even used my 80D to shoot weddings and it performs quite well to me but of course i would want to upgrade to fullframe specifically to shoot photos. But i hv a big concern on the battery life of the RP 😅.. is it really bad that its a deal breaker ?
How are you liking the RP? I’m thinking about buying one but is it true that when shooting RAW files they aren’t as good? Because I seen a video saying something about how this camera is better when using JPEG.
I really want the R currently shooting on a 5dmk3. Which has been awesome but.... I'm doing more video than anything at the moment and the awesome AF would be a winner! Does the AF work with the old lenses?
Since the video is crippled on both of these cameras, The rp is the only way i can afford the rf glass. is it even woth putting rf glass on the rp for stills, Do you get the same image quality on both cameras?
Currently thinking about upgrading my 6d mark II and I'm torn between these two cameras. I mainly do car photography and videography, sometimes portraits. In terms of photos, videos and functionality, the EOS R looks very promising, but the price is quite high. What about RP? As far as I can tell, it's capable of capturing good quality photos and video, but it's hard to judge on a video from RU-vid. Anyone can share their personal experience of owning an RP and how well it can handle photos and video recording?
One point to make and correct me if I'm wrong, as I am just learning about this camera. The -6EV exposure thing only applies to lenses with very large aperture openings, something like F1.2 I believe it was. With other lenses I believe it goes to down to something like -3 or -4 EV.
35 or 50 primes are good but zoom with f1.2 to f4 consistent are better...f2.8 sweetspot for low light and consistent photo video shots but I dont like big round light spots in background...its not big deal for me. F4 zooms are good enough without high prices for price points. Example canon ef 24-70 f2.8 vs sigma or tamron ef 2.8/f4 ...over $2k vs $1k new...used mint is good deal ebay. I would like r6 or r in 4k future but m50 good for now full hd to save space and money. Is lenses zoom few primes and ibis and af no crop are important ...I think 4k hdr overrated but costly and good quality.
i would find this to be the perfect camera if not for the just 4 fps continuous shooting, so i cant decide wether to get a 90D or this , its almost the same price and i already have couple of USM and STM lenses lying around, i will buy the camera with a prime 50 mm and both the eos rp and eos 90D are the same prics , which one would be the better choice
EOS RP is a full-frame so a larger sensor you'll want to make sure none of the lenses you have are EF-S if they are they won't cover the sensor and you'll get vignetting. Other then that they will both be good options and if you already have some lenses the 90D might be the way to go because you'll also have to get an adapter fo the RP because of the RF mount.
I just bought an RP everything is excellent EXCEPT the evf on mine is two shades more cyan than the lcd. Shooting in black and white is more like black and green. Super disappointed. Won't buy canon again for a very long time.
