The default setting on the RP will show the captured photo as you described, but this can be changed in the menu.

Actually genius, if it's a re-shuffled double gauss like they did with the EF 50 STM to RF 50 STM conversion--they simply jiggled things for the flange distance and retained the same optics having roughly identical optical performance. I wonder if something similar is going on here where they're taking the already-mature optics of the EF 50 1.2 and repacking for flange distance, with some optimization to keep the size down--or even none. I would welcome it. Yes the RF 50 1.2 is spectacular but i always thought it was too perfect. I want something that has field curvature at large apertures and that has a slight swirl. i hope this RF 45 1.2 delivers especially at this price. instant order. long-time user of Canon digital large sensor glass--film glass used on canon digital sensors--(25 years) and since ive been on the RF mount, i've mostly stuck to EF glass for the reasons above (though i have dabbled in several RF lenses but sold them off since)
The RF 35 1.8 is probably my favorite RF lens.

The net upgrade cost alone would be worth it to ditch the adapter. heck you might even profit.

In that case I think is quite irrelevant: I don't think much people work at 64000 ISO.

Given that most RF lenses perform relatively averagely without all the digital corrections applied, surely this 45mm 1.2 could be the same? Even if it's along the lines of the original EF 50 1.2 but with the ability of R series camera to apply a vast array of corrections it must be able to make it appear to be a decent performing lens?
And with the non L designation and price point, it's clearly being aimed at casual users and content creators, where shots will end up on a 6 inch display, not being pixel peeped at 200%...
If it does indeed come in at around the £500-600 price mark this thing will sell by the truck load. I know I'll be buying one.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here, could you elaborate? I own both cameras.
Nope, that's the 85, edited, but that lens is much longer.
This 45mm is expected to be 65mm long (according to the patent that was published), and it will use a 67mm filter thread. For perspective, the 35mm f/1.8 is 63mm long, so this lens will be about the same length as the 35, but wider in the front. In the leaked photograph you can see there is a slight curve before the focus ring.

My main issue with that lens is the general lower contrast look, that I'm not very fond off so, to my eyes it's not perfect
I'd say it's possible they started with a similar concept, but I'd expect this lens to feature some molded plastic elements, and perhaps cheaper coatings (actually I'm unaware if the EF 50 1.2 features expensive coatings or not).
I'd expect low distortion, due to its focal length, tons of vignetting, and my guess goes to center sharpness at f/1.2 possibly similar to that of the RF 50mm f/1.8 at f/1.8, getting better as it's stopped down.

We could actually be in for a nice surprise.
Let's not forget how sharp the cheap little RF 28mm f/2,8 is. As sharp as my Leica M 28mm f/2,8 aspherical...
(Cf. the extremely positive OpticalLimits review)

Hello, I need help, here!
I'm in the market for a new camera, my good old RP is starting to show its limits. This weekend, for example, I really struggled with focusing in low light, even when my subject was relatively still.
I never shoot video, and my most frequent context for photography is music concerts, so generally in very low light. For example, saturday night, I needed 12800 ISO for pictures at 1/30 of a second at F/2,8. Noisy as hell, but usable when I managed to focus.
According to what you know from the rumors mills, will the new R6 mark iii be the very best for my needs? Will it be my best choice, regarding quality in low light and fast autofocus in these conditions? Will it be better than the R5 mark ii?
As we say in French, thank you for your lights!

In other news:
Development of a bioinspired soft lens that can adjust its focal length automatically in response to varying light levels, similar to a human eye.

Just from you short text:
go get the R6ii. Great in low light, fast AF and reliable in dark locations plus it is at great price point atm. The mkiii will cost much more. Save the money and maybe get a f2 prime.

Le R6 III semble etre un excellent choix, surtout si vous utilisez souvent les ISO eleves. Pour des photos "normales", le R5 II que j'utilise fournira des images plus detaillees, quant a l'autofocus, les deux se valent quelque soient les conditions de luminosite.

I have cameras to my eye, shooting using the EVF's, whith both cameras with image review turned on.
I take a single picture and release the shutter button, keeping the camera to my eye.
The RP shows in the EVF the picture taken, obstructing my view of the actual scene still happening in front of me, while the R6 is not showing the picture in the EVF (acting sort "as an OVF" would), and will show the picture taken only in the rear display, if I remove the camera from my eye and the rear display activates.

Noise levels should be essentially the same.
Autofocus is better on every camera from the R8 and above.
The RP features the original Dual Pixel AF, while every full-frame since the R6/R5 features Dual Pixel AF II and the ability to focus down to at least EV-6.
You’d benefit from a R8, any R6 (I, II or III), and a f/1.4 prime lens. If I were you, I’d seriously consider a R8 and a VCM prime. The R8 even uses the same batteries as your RP.
Ok, I got it now, but that’s two different settings.
On the R6, there’s Image Review and then Viewfinder Review as a sub option, which means you can choose to have Image Review only on the rear display.
The RP does not feature the second, only the first, which means it always displays on both screens.
Anyway, you don’t need a R6 for that, the R8 has both options as well.
Honestly, most settings have been available on every full-frame models since the R6/R5, the RP and R were just left behind. People shouldn’t take the R and RP as reference for anything.
But I can clearly see the difference in quality of the two EVFs. Resolution, higher framerate (I always have my cameras set to the highest framerate), larger size and better color accuracy on the R6. The EVF on my RP is green/yellow tinted (lacks magenta), and that camera doesn’t allow adjustments on that regard.
The R8 I suppose features the same EVF (I still have it in my possession), but allows color adjustments.

Yes, unfortunately RP doesn't allow, but it's ok, it's a 400€ used FF ML camera, for that price I'm already happy that it turns on at all! :-D It's the backup camera, I can shoot with image review always off, and use the play button when needed, not a big deal.
I don't know how R8 works, never laid a hand on it; too expensive for a backup camera, too "poor" (no joystick, no double slot, small battery, no proper battery grip, no three dials on the body) for a main camera.
I have all cameras at lowest EVF framerate to save on battery, so maybe that's why I don't see a tangible difference among R6 and RP; the color cast, may very well be, but frankly I don't really notice, camera is 99% of the time in auto-wb in ambient light (and with strobe, the moment I install the trigger, the wb switches automatically to flash, so I rarely move it from auto), so the colours I see in the EVF are very random, with digital I don't really care about native wb of a raw picture, let alone the cast on the display/evf unless is REALLY bad.
