And I am very seriously thinking of dumping my Olympus... Micro 4/3 and weighs 465gr with the battery. Goodbye Oly! Homerun Canon! Another nail in the coffin of M43.All the hatred cracks me up....I took one look at the size and weight and started to wonder if it could replace the M as my "small kit" camera.
I could be wrong, but EOS R doesn't have a crop feature for stills unless one mounts an EFs lens. It has cropped 4K video.I'm on the fence of jumping on the bandwagon, FF and MILC. I prefer APS-C platform over FF, particularly the frame rate for live events (a hobbyist), but tired of waiting for a revised 7D (assuming it to be 7D Mark III). The EOS R has the crop feature but the MP is too low
I've been handicapped w/ a EOS-M camera for two years now. W/ EOS R and RP news, it appears that there's no hope for high-end APS-C in DSLR or MILC.
I don't like to drastically change, so I'll stick w/ Canon. I need a better camera for sure!!!!
Then why do Sony's G Master lenses have IS (OSS)? Even the Zeiss for Sony have it. Yes, even short focal lengths. Lens IS and IBIS work together.One observation for everyone moaning about IBIS or jumping every time IS is mentioned with relation to Canon's camera body. This is unicorn.
Even if Canon adds IBIS to their next body, it will be just marketing gimmick. They already stated how much they trust their possible first version of IBIS by their roadmap of RF lenses with build in IS. If they had good working IBIS ready for PRO body, they would not need to do something like 15-35 IS or 35 IS maybe even 24-70 IS.
If Canon launches IBIS it will be in my opinion far behind competition in its first version and people will be moaning again.
They are like 90 year olds with a 21 year old trophy wife. Looks good by their side, but they aren't "up" to the job. The "gear" knows it, but the 90 year old blames the gear. Pathetic.I started into the thread but have baled after one page because it's the same old whining of those who should forget about Canon and shoot with the best that is on the other side of the fence. Get a life, go out and do some photography or join the Sony forum and have a love-in.

Don't know what the R stands for, but the "P" stands for "Profit Center".Requiescat in Pace?
The alternative would be (according to Frank Zappa): shut up and take yer images. Don't forget: the coolest gear of today is already the obsolete scrap of tomorrow. That's the Karma of the digital age.Ahhhh cmon Canon, really?? 6D mark II, do we really need another bad full frame camera. Well there's nothing left here to do then switch to Sony...
I use a 5DIV, which I think will be my last DSLR. I think that Canon is moving in the right direction with the RP. I do like the smaller body, even if it is plastic, it is still a FF camera and if they have tweeked the sensor a little to get better dynamic range, that will have my attention. It will probably make a great travel camera. Since it is small, I do hope that they will make a battery grip for it, but I have not seen any indication of that. With this camera, the original R and a forthcoming pro mirrorless R-body and all the new R-Lenses, I think that Canon will have all the bases covered for a couple of years.
Nah, "Profit Center" would be "PC", what also mean "Politically Correct", and that again would apply more to Sony alike art filters that only allow Eye AF on smiling faces Seriously, I think Canon tries to refer to their history of rangefinders, more exactly, to the Canon P (= Populaire) from the 1950s. Btw one of the most beautiful cameras ever made, an icon of clean Bauhaus like industrial design. Leica then still decorated there M3 with baroque frames around its rangefinder windows.Don't know what the R stands for, but the "P" stands for "Profit Center".
I think you are exactly right!

I'm sure Canon have designed a number of deliberate and irritating limitations that the budget model has are resolved by buying the better and more expensive model. Marketing 101...it's a product range. I'm also suspecting that the EVF in the Rp probably isn't the same fantastic unit found in the Eos R. In fact I'm surprised Canon have included an EVF in this base model. I would have thought that a small and light no EVF model was the obvious choice with an optional after market EVF unit popped on the hot shoe. Then we are getting into true digital range finder territory. Maybe a range of optical range finder modules to keep the art / trads really happy.Would be interested to find out if it allows selection of focus points on the LCD screen with your finger while looking through the view finder like the r

Or maybe we will see four R bodies and they all look different to each other - except saying EOS R at the front and the exact model written elsewhere
Canon 6D II had a poorer sensor performance compared to my 6D and a poorly value one too compared to the competitions. It came out with MSRP of $2000 and quickly drop to $1300.
I would think that the 1-series replacement at least will have to be bigger, for ergonomics and battery capacity.
