Am I the only person who actually LIKES the RP?
I just got mine today. I wear glasses, and am finding the viewfinder fine - Same as my 5D4 for viewing - Maybe slightly better than the 5D4, I need to 'move my head' around a little less to see everything. I'd expect them to be almost identical, 5d4 is (I think), .71 vs .70 magnification on the R.
Of course it's not as good as an OVF, but certainly better than the M5 and x-e3 I'd been using before as the 'small travel' kit. It's better than I'd been expecting, and when comparing in the store, I didn't even notice a difference between the R and RP. (Maybe because I didn't think to look for one, and wasn't in an environment that I'm more likely to notice the resolution improvement)
If you're wondering why I chose RP over R, 3 main reasons:
It's just struck that right balance (for me ), and I'm liking it a lot from first impressions, despite the limitations. The next few weeks will tell me more.
(edit: corrected EVF to OVF)

If you're wondering why I chose RP over R, 3 main reasons:
- I have a 5D4, the R didn't really give enough reason to use it instead.
- RP is just that bit smaller and lighter, when you're using the RF 35 (once you put on the bigger lenses, that size advantage disappears of course)
- A LOT cheaper - Means I could get the RP + RF 24-105 for the same price as the R body. Glass is forever. A first gen body is going to be replaced in two years by a RP2 that is even cheaper, with the specs of the R. And I'm really waiting for a full 5D4 replacement before spending serious $$
