Canon EOS RP sucks a bit
Well no, it's not a bad camera, it's just that it could

The notion that this camera "sucks" is utter nonsense. I bought the RP a few weeks ago and I have used it extensively for candid portraits, general photography, including nature photography, and macrophotography. I find the RP to be an excellent camera, easy to use, with good ergonomics and highly versatile for everything but high-frame-rate sports photography (for which I have no use). The image quality of the RP compares favorably to that of my 5D Mark IV and my 6D Mark II, which is to say it is very good. At $1299 (and the price will come down, of course) it's a bargain. The dogmatic mantra about IBIS is bull****. It's not a "problem" in any sense of the word, but an expression of someone's personal preference.

The dogmatic mantra about IBIS is bull****. It's not a "problem" in any sense of the word, but an expression of someone's personal preference. Agreed! There are those who look on IBIS as some sort of security blanket. So far I have managed 60 years of photography, shooting Kodak, Argus, Pentax, Nikon, Canon, and currently Fujifilm without owning a camera with IBIS. I have no doubt that some time in the future I might have no option other than a camera with IBIS, but for now many of my lenses have VR/OIS for when stabilization might be helpful. The thing to remember is, stabilization, be it IBIS, or VR/OIS is not needed, or even desired for any action/sport photography, landscapes w/tripod, or WA in good light with fast glass. Candid, ISO 3200https://www.flickr.com/photos/primeval/32501092737. Nice capture, but the Flickr EXIF states that it was shot with your 5D + Tamron 28-300mm, not the RP. Unless you were demonstrating that you managed without IBIS just the āVibration Compensationā in that Tamron. Macro in the shade, ISO 800 https://www.flickr.com/photos/primeval/40621765583. General nature, deep shade with flash, ISO 400 https://www.flickr.com/photos/primeval/47628617592. Those are shot with the RP, and are absolutely fine. For me the bottomline is the entry of Canon, & Nikon into the mirrorless world. Things can only improve, and that means there will be exciting stuff in the future.

Alfred Molon: You've never used IBIS, right? 1 second handheld exposures in the blue hour, just to make an example. That has aught to do with me. I rarely use image stabilization at all; for long exposures I rely on one of my tripods. Where I am likely to use IS is for a hand-held macro. IS in my Canon lenses is quite adequate to the task. I did not suggest that is adequate for your purposes. I note that you ignored the remainder of my reply, the important part, my real-world experience with the Canon EOS RP. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

Well, you are our resident macro specialist, so it is good to see the RP will meet your macro demands. Just enjoy whatever you choose to use. Personally, while I can appreciate the image quality produced by the RP I am not in the market for any of the new FF mirrorless cameras as I am fully committed to the Fujifilm APS-C X-system with several cameras, and a nice variety of very good glass. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Any tests have proven again and again that IBIS allows for more and higher quality images in many instances. Brushing off IBIS is like trying to say AF has no major value. false. |
