I don't easily subscribe to channels, but this video was so spot on, and you were so humble in the way you explained the differences between these two cameras... it impressed me! Thanks for telling us about the RP dial being better.... because when you're at a wedding you don't have time to cook a steak. You just want to get on with it.... I think pound for pound the RP is the better cash cow! We will buy the RP this year and wait until later and get something with more specs down the road. Thanks again, and God bless!!!! (Subscribed)
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.
WOuld you mind me asking what type of shots you do professionally? Weddings by any chance? I am getting the RF 50mm f1.2 (oh yes baby) with the EOS RP. Do you find this produces highly professional results for weddings? No doubt the lens does, but the RP RAW files are the thing I need to ensure can be adjusted without degradation. Thanks for any help :)
@WaynePix Weddings and fashion is my main income :) I use the 50 mm 1.2 L with adapter and the results are stunning! You can check my work here instagram.com/constantinospournarasweddings/ The files is really good for me
@Constantinos Pournaras hey... bit late to the party, but how do you get round only having the one sd card slot? Everyone says 2 card slots are a necessity for weddings :|
Hey legends, thanks for watching! Make sure you hit that like button and let me know in the comments what you thought of the photos! What is your favourite? The EOS R or RP?
I do a little video but primarily still photography and this is why I would choose the EOS R over the EOS RP: - EOS R has a max shutter speed of 1/8000 sec, EOS RP has a max shutter speed of 1/4000 sec - EOS R uses the same LP-E6N batteries as my Canon 5D Mk4, EOS RP uses a completely different battery - EOS R can use a battery grip, EOS RP doesn't have any battery grip option - EOS R has USB 3.1 (5Gb/sec), EOS RP has USB 2.0 (480Mb/sec) - EOS R is 30MP, EOS RP is 26MP - not as drastic as some of the other differences but if I'm getting a new camera I'd rather the sensor be equal to or greater than my existing 5D Mk4 bodies. - EOS R allows custom filenames (which I actually use), EOS RP does not
Im thinking buying it too. I have a 5dmkiii for 6 years and found that a pro level body is overkill if your not a wedding photog. Im just into portraits and travel. The RP is a good camera for that imo.
TheG7thcapo I only do portraits and travel as well, also a little at my kids sports events. It was perfect for our trip to Italy. I love my RP especially with the new update!!!!
This was the first video of yours that I've seen and I really liked it. You provided a lot of good information and it was really entertaining as well. No clue how your channel hasn't blown up yet but I'm sure it will very soon.
Great video! Not only was the camera spot on, but the lens make a great difference. Your model was outstanding as well. Definitely not worth paying a lot more for the the “superior” model.
I love your soothing voice and the chill soundtrack and the overall relaxed pace of the video. Much needed in today's hyper photog youtubr era. Love photography as well!
I just made a mistake and bought the RP instead of the R, thanks to your video I don’t feel so bad now, let’s hope it can take all the beating weddings do to the gear!
hey i just seen ur comment and i was interested in finding out if the rp did good for you for weddings i’m looking into starting to do weddings and i’m just curious as to whether or not it could do good for weddings
@@christiantillman5413 There hasn’t been that busy, but I am loving the camera, I use it mainly with a 28mm 1.8 USM to keep it light, I absolutely love the screen and find myself shooting a lot without even using the view finder, it is a keeper, but now I want an EOS R6
@@EderAcevedoPhoto thank you. it’s making me excited bc i just ordered it a few days ago and mine comes in on jan 2nd. i want to do portraits do u have any lenses u would recommend?
Im doing outdoor(natural light & hss) and indoor portrait,eos RP was a great camera for that, even for wedding photography, only that you need to prepare 4-6 battery. I do notice that the DR not that good with RP,still you get better camera from eos 6D2, 5D 1-3, and other apsc camera. Im stick with canon because the color science,which is better from sony and probably nikon. Yes,eos RP still great camera for still photography. Save that 1000$ for RF lens (24-105 F4). It great lens.
I`m using RP for portrait photography. Considered to switch to R, thanks to your review I know that it`s pointless to spend 1k$ more for a camera which is almost the same. thx a lot for this video.
It’s not crazy noticeable but in certain situations it seems the rp was a bit brighter with the colors and the r caught a little bit more of the details overall both are great options and the video was very informative!
Hi, any reason why you don't use Servo AF in face or eye-tracking mode? I just found it to be more accurate, when the subject (or the photographer) is slightly moving. (Although I would like if I could just use single point with Single AF and switch the AF mode and tracking altogether) Cheers
Thumbs up for the real life comparison. Leaving video capability out of the picture, I actually prefer the RP over the R. I tried them both and yes, the display and EVF is better on the R. But in (my) real life, the mechanical mode dial kills it. It's so much easier to operate whithout looking. I just wish I could afford those RF lenses with the additional dial. Then I could change aperture, exposure and ISO with my fingertips in a fraction of a second. I'm really happy with the RP (coming from a 6D).
Did you come from the 6d or the 6d Mark ii? I read to my wife what you said and she said it really spoke to her. She's owned the 6d Mark ii for over 2 years and loves it but wants a good back up camera. I think the RP may just make her 6d Mark ii the backup.... ha ha! She also loves the dial better....
@@thommysides4616 The original 6D. I never considered the 6D Mark II. The RP was a nice choice and I didn't regret it, until the R6 came out and guess what I own now 😉
As far as picture quality they are gonna be the same that’s what people don’t get. Where they differ at is the FPS and video as the RP has that 1.7 crop in 4k also. For photo it’s easy. Video is where they differ
I wish you didn't edit the video and photos. it's really hard to get a fair idea of the quality because the color tone of the skin looks way off. please do unedited raw files .... this is from July so maybe you've started doing that?
There are plenty of other channels out there showing un-edited photos. On this channel I show my actual work and share my real opinions as a working photographer. If you're into that then you'll like my videos - and plenty of people do. If not - just watch someone else.
Mitch Lally I believe this could have been answered in much nicer way. There is no doubt you’re so talented and that’s also one reason we all follow your work. But this response really sounded rude and unexpected. This was just an honest observation. Thanks!
The bit about the shutter curtains closing to protect the sensor appears to me to be a big deal. I am a neophyte when it comes to photography, but dust and dirt on the sensor CANNOT be a good thing. But is it worth $1000? If I buy a camera, it has to last for a long time. Unlike a pro who has to keep up with the latest trends in cameras, my camera has to last for at least 10-15 years. I think the R is more likely to do that than the RP, but, while I have owned Canon cameras for years, the EOS R seems to have problems that mean I should consider another brand. Thanks for the video.
My thoughts and situation exactly! What camera(s) are you looking at to solve those problems? I'm coming from Canon as well but I think Sony a7c is the better bang for buck at this price range. Even at higher price range Sony a7s iii is blowing R6 out of the water (video-wise). I'm just hesitant to make the switch.
@@WSJade I decided to just keep my old Canon for a few more years until all this gets sorted out. I too like the looks of the Sony, but like you, I am hesitant to make the switch.
@@CCoburn3 Which camera do you have now and which problems are you referring to specifically for EOS R? Unfortunately I can't afford to wait much longer for a fullframe (and mirrorless seems the way to go). I'm also mostly shooting video.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. i needed to see a video of the EOS RP with the sigma 35 f1.4 as that is my absolute favorite lens right now,, thank you so much bro i appreciate it. EOS RP HERE I COME
Max shutter speed is the killer here for me. I am jumping into this system mainly for the 85 1.2. I am absolutely going to need that extra 1/4000 second at max aperture.
Awesome comparison and greetings from Queensland :-) I've decided to get the RP and invest the extra money in a lovely new Canon RF 50mm f1.2. Can't wait to get away from the m43 system and back to Canon Full Frame.
Ended up getting the EOSR (needed more dynamic range) + 50mm RF f1.2 and so happy with it! The last 3 model shoots on my channel are shot with it and easy to see the difference from earlier videos 😀
Thanks Mitch - I've tried the R and RP - I really liked the size and weight of the RP especially with the 35mm RF. I was looking at that combination to go on a gimbal possibly the new Ronin SC. - question where all the video clips on the R.
Mark Shirley I did another video with some sample clips from the R. Its called ‘switching to the eos r’ on my channel. I wanted to keep this one photography focused.
I got the RP and i agree in most of what you show , but in edit you can bring all the same details from rp as the eos R , the difference is so small that its only the pixel pervs who will notice , the reason why i bought rp and not the r is the r still needs to be a better camera for that ekstra 1000 usd and its not worth the pay if you ask me maybe when a high end mirrorless canon camera comes out ill go for that , but ty for a great video and beautyful shots , hope you make a upgrade of this now when new firmware is out :-)
Thanks a lot! I came into a conclusion that I'll get the RP. The R is great for the 4K capability but it's cropped view. I'll better save money for a lens
Oh yeah, you also have a 1/4000 instead if 1/8000 max shutter speed. This matters if you are shooting at f/1.2 or 1.4 outside, you will have to stop down on the rp
I think you should test the batteries till they die. My M50 battery indicator can go from full to completely dead in a few minutes. It's definitely not worth trusting, and 2 bars really means walking dead!
hellomyphone I disagree. I bought the 5DM3 new when it came out for 3600 body only for a euro trip and shoot weddings almost daily with full frames. It’s such a pain to bring those full frames and L lenses on trips. On small adventures. And even with the viltrox speed booster you can’t pretend the m50 is meant to substitute what a 5dm3 / 6d / 5dm4 is meant to do. I had a blast with the m50 and the native 11-22. It’s fun to adapt EF lenses to it for a third body for high end shoots But it really shines for on the go. Portability. Still great content creating images and videos. BUT to the point I carry 6 batteries at a time. One of my original canon batteries has gone bad (but I believe due to charging on 3rd party charger) but now with my new original and third party batteries they go a long way. I love the sigma 35 1.4 & canon 85 1.2L and they’re great even on the m50 But using the 22m 2.0 EFM and even 50m 1.8 almost create the same look and feel of the image (albeit maybe not to the exact quality) but that’s really only noticeable under an extreme microscope.
I appreciate the review, but I have to say I laughed when you said you had a long history of using Canon cameras, since 2013. 🤣 I bought my first Canon in 1995 if memory serves. 😉
Given how different they are now than in 1995, 6 years is plenty. Going too much further back than 2013 just becomes redundant at some point, especially if you're talking film.
I bought my first Canon camera at 2011. Also at 1995 I wasn't born. It's was powershot camera. Now I have moved on to a much superior system. Now I have the A7Rii which still keeps up(actually I am wrong, it is still better than Canon's latest offering) to Canon's newest cameras. I still feel my PowerShot from 2011 is much better than the EOS R or RP
Manuel Friedrich Yeah I would not consider the RP for video. The image didn’t look very good to me. Not sure about bitrate comparisons but the R looked much better in my limited tests. Only had the RP for a couple of days so wanted to mainly compare photo wise.
I saw this video one year ago but now i came back just for make the questions that don’t let me sleep for months: What brand are your white shoes that appear un this video? Where did you buy your blazer? Bro, that outfit in black is amazing.
Hi, Mitch. I'm about to buy this camera for replacing my XH1. The reason why i need this one is because i have a canon 135mm f2. Do ef lenses perform well in R series body with adapter?
Mitch great video thanks! I'm also in Brisbane and just getting started with some fashion and still product photography for new online business. This video was a great help in narrowing my choice of camera. Check us out at www.herright.com.au or @her.right on insta. Maybe we could work together in the future. Again, great review. Cheers
Title caught my attention then within 2 words I realised you were a fellow Aussie , within 30 seconds I subbed. Looking forward to exploring the channel more👍🏻
I really enjoy watching your content! I have the sigma 35mm f1.4 that is supposed to be arriving next week so Im eager to use it after watching this video (i know yours is the Tamron)
Well done... Great information with a relaxed delivery... Combined with rf glass. (5 more lenses promised by the end of the year) I think the rp can still be a lightweight powerhouse. I can't wait to see what Canon does for it pro mirrorless body... I have a feeling they will go all out and implement some new innovative tech and improve on the eye af tracking...
Wait, snap! You’re Australian! Me too! Wow! I’m purchasing the EOS R and wanted to continue researching the difference between that and the RP. I know the R5 is coming out, but it will be waaay out of my budget (I’m guessing, since it’s a huge leap so I’ve heard). Oh wow that comment about the battery, that’s so interesting!
Yup! fellow aussie ☺️ for what you do I think go with the EOS R. I think the R5 will be overkill tbh! RP is also nice but its a bit lacking in video quality imo. The video on the R is super nice you won't be disappointed.
I noticed you mostly frame the pictures up to the knees and not full body shots including the feet. Isn't it better to shoot at the person's eye level rather than shooting low? Shooting below eye level can sometimes exaggerate the face/body features such as making the body appear larger and the face smaller. Thanks for comparison.
Ofc you cant really differentiate both based on stills (unless you pixel peep it), camera body is about experience and features which might or might NOT impact your photography style at all.
Great comparison, however I have question. When shooting outside, the colour of Ana's dress looks different on both cameras. I think I prefer the RP, however what matters is which one is the most colour accurate?
FuzzyDuck it could have to do with minor white balance / exposure differences across the two cameras. All these pictures are edited too. They are both great cameras and I would say Canon is famous for their cameras not being perfectly colour accurate but rather representing colours in a more aesthetically pleasing way.
@@michaeln2057 Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM is the one to have for the RP. Samyang has the MF 14mm F2.8 out and Tamron and Sigma will be releasing RF mount lenses in 2020. With the new bodies coming out and third party lenses, it's gonna be an interesting year. :)
Ravencroft that’s good to hear!! I honestly wanna get this camera but my lord... the prices of these lenses are killing the vibe. I’m not a professional photographer so I don’t need all of them. But at least we should have some more affordable options
I would go for the RP but I need more than 1/4000 shutter speed and I like the manual focus assist on the EOS R. I will be buying the EOS R for stills and continue to use my a7iii for video.
Use an ND filter. When im shooting outside i usea 2 stop nd not just to compensate for the shutter speed but also makes the colors more vibrant out of camera
Great comparison I liked it, i never thought much about the Rp till now. I've been waiting for the R6 and once I see then it's a choice between the R6 or the EOS R
I have a brief stint with EOS RP... to be honest, I'm blown away and satisfied with the photos considering I only have RF 50 1.8 and RF 85 F2 that time. What if I have 1.4's or 1.2's back then? However, the reason I sold it is because its only 1/4000. hard to shoot wide open in some situations. I could've have countered it with ND filter but its extra stuff that needs to carry all the time. Else, if I have extra money, I will buy RP again for general photography.
Man I was just at Digidirect Brisbane checking out those cameras just a month ago...never thought you were actually from there. Other than that, I’ve been pretty torn between the Canon EOS R & RP and the Fujifilm XT3 on which to buy. All are awesome, I’m just still trying to figure out what I want out of a camera and how well it can do it based on the type of photography I do. Would’ve been nice to meet you while my ship was there for more questions regarding these cameras.
Stewart Robison hahah that’s great! Yeah I would say if you’re shooting photos only its a toss up on what you like better. But if you’re adding video to the mix then the xt3 is the way to go.
Hi bro. I have Fujifilm X-T3 but I want to buy full frame. Do you recommend Canon RP? Also I believe Sigma lenses best sharpness lenses. What do u think about this combine? Cnaon RP + Sigma 35mm 1.4 art. I usually shooting fashion photo and video. Thank you...
