It would be my dream camera, if it is indeed as advertised on that XL sheet. Count me in with the kit.For that price with grip and adaptor, might end up buying it for macro and travel use.

Realistically, I don't think there's any chance of a brand new sensor in a $1299 camera when the R didn't even get one. I would be shocked if it's not the 6dII sensor.
Of course not (it is doubtful if is going to come in any of the first generation models, although some sources claim it wll)So does this camera have IBIS?

I think this UK camera company posted the detailed specs to their website without realizing it. Looks like 4k IPB compression at 120mbs 8 bit 4:2:0 is all we get. No canon log and it doesn't specifically indicate the crop factor for 4k recording but I am betting its the same 1.74 crop we're used to. Also, 8.3 megapixel stills can be extracted from the 4k. The link appears to be an excel spreadsheet of the detailed specs. https://www.cliftoncameras.co.uk/uploads/downloads/Product Specifications/Canon/EOS RP/EOS RP Specifications.xlsx
Another happy Canon user looking forward to that camera. Hopefully it is 1299 EUR in Germany and ... wishful thinking ... they have a "naked" body offer for e.g. 1150 EUR or so - I . WANT . TO . USE . THE . CONTROL RING ADAPTER!
"Viewing Angle (horizontally/vertically)Approx. 170° vertically and horizontally"=flippy screen I guess?Looking at the spreadsheet I don't see anything about a flippy screen.
Also, 4k will be 24 fps max, not 30 fps.
Am I missing something?
Gonna depend on what other lenses come out quickly. Right now, there's very little appealing to someone who isnt already a Canon user because the lenses are all >$1k. But if Tamron, Sigma, etc release their RF mount versions here shortly, its a very different ballgame.It will be interesting if they capture new sales with this.

Less than a snowball's chances in hell. $1299 plus VAT is about 1450€, which is still really cheap for a FF body. I predict the release price of the RP is going to be around 1500€ in Europe. Whether there will be extras included remains to be seen.
Its really bad for forward compatibility to be buying EF lenses if you're buying into the RF system brand new. I know Sony's lack of truly native stuff is what kept me from staying with them over time, and thats an issue that's been sorted out.That's not true at all.
One can simply buy an EF 50/1.8 STM EF 40/2.8 STM a used EF 24-105/4 or EF 24-70/4 or any aftermarket EF lens (that may need a firmware update) and be a happy camper. This is where Canon has won it over its competitors, plenty of cheap glass with perfect compatibility. It even looks more balanced, especially on an even smaller body like this.
I would just remind you that the 6D Mk II price at launch should have surprised no one because it was in alignment with the introductory pricing of the original 6D and in particular the pricing/value relationship between the 5D Mk III and the 6D vs the 5D Mk IV and the 6D Mk II.That's a fantastic value. It gets right the one thing that 6D2 did not -- the price at launch. I kind of want one now
