EOS RP Comapct System Camera with Mount Adapter EF-EOS R

I have had this camera for two days, and am very pleased with it. I got the body+adapter package, because I already had an EF 24-105 zoom lens. I have mostly taken test shots, apart from trawling through the menus setting up the camera the way I like it. I did take one shot of a clump of daffodils which I thought was technically excellent. (see photo) I have had a look at the video feature. This works, but although there is an electronic in-body stabilization feature, it needs to be supplemented by in-lens stabilization, for example in the EF 24-105 zoom lens.Handling is good. There is a well-defined area for the thumb to go in the shooting position. I found the AF ON button was too close to this and I kept pressing it accidentally. So I disabled it. EF lenses have an AF/MF switch on the barrel anyway. This morning I took a photo of the chancel at church. The communion rail is in focus, the other items are not (which you'd expect with an f/1.8 aperture). The carvings in the communion rail are sharp and detailed. I took this with flash, you have to use an external speedlite. As you can see, it worked well. I happened to have a speedlite already too.6/3/2019 Here are two new photos, an avenue of trees in Peter Pan Park, and the Bonus Arena, both in Hull. I hope you can see they show pretty good image quality.

Now this is some camera, and so light in weight compared to my Canon 5D II. I used a 2.8, 70 to 200mm lens to try out the camera. Perfect results (technically) The artistic bit was suspect! I next tried a 35mm prime lens with the same perfect results, both were trialled using the P setting and autofocus. I was very impressed with the focusing, it was fast and spot on and I really pushed the subjects; good contrasting pictures, and some in poor light both results were brilliant.This seems the way to go and I am now thinking of ditching the 5D and buying the R.

I’ve only just got this camera - the first full frame camera I have owned - and my first impressions are very positive. I’ve updated from a canon 80D, and found the RP reasonably intuitive to use and get very good results. It is very light and easy to handle.The supplied adapter accepts Canon EF and EFS lenses, but not necessarily 3rd. party lenses. I have. Sigma 150-600mm that fits, but another Sigma lens - 18-250mm., that vignettes on all but the longest settings.My iPad Pro does not recognise raw files from this camera, though I am told new cameras are being added regularly.It doesn’t come with a manual, just a very basic set up guide, but you will need to download one.There doesn’t seem to be a dedicated depth of field preview button.There is no internal flash, but a there is a hot shoe for adding one.If, like me, you clean the sensor yourself, it will be much easier on this camera - it is very accessible.The 24-105 lens is much better than the kit lenses normally supplied. It comes with a hood. If you need filters it is 77mm.I’m not really interested in video, though I have heard it’s not rated highly on that score.The battery is LP17 and, by all accounts, doesn’t last long.All basic information, but it might help you. All in all it seems a very good buy.

This camera is great but only if you just want it to shoot stills or you are prepared to buy new full frame lenses. Marketed as the next step from APS-C cameras, this is somewhat misleading. When compared to the significantly cheaper M50 you lose 24fps and 100fps options. Whilst you do get lovely full frame 1080p video with dual pixel autofocus, 4K video has very poor focus and is cropped. If you use your EF-S lenses (which you would likely already have if you are upgrading to your first full frame camera) then you lose more options. I returned it because of the ludicrously crippled video features. What a W ay to steal defeat from the jaws of victory Canon! Disappointed...

Forget the reviews that say this camera is under specified. It is a joy to use and takes great photos. It is a bargain at this price.

Nice camera a good start from canon it just a big shame it does not have in body stabilisation this would have made it a definitely worth buy but I would say read all the reviews try and get hands on and make sure , it does make very nice phots and the video is not too bad

Excellent small but full-framed camera ideal for street photography
