Sweet! I see the RP's are in stock at Henrys here in Canada already so I expect to be getting mine real soon now Looks like up here we get the EF mount adapter and an extra battery instead of the grip extention. Can't wait!

Waiting for the reviews - if this ends up being a 6D II+ it might be worth the jump.
100 is metal threads while 85 has plastic.
I won’t say I agonized over the decision, but I did give it some thought and like you, I opted for the R (it arrives tomorrow). The lower price of the RP was tempting, but I was swayed by:I agonized over the RP vs. the EOS R. I decided on the EOS R. I get it today!! Excited.
The reasons that swayed me were:
-RP not out at the time
-RP does NOT do silent shutter (hope they do in a future firmware update, how this is held back blows my mind)
-R shutter is rated to 200k cycles. RP is 100k. (not a huge deal, but it did help sway me)
-R has noticably better dynamic range and shadow recovery. Used to shoot the 6D and 5DII and shadow recovery was always nasty.
-R uses a bigger battery
I won’t say I agonized over the decision, but I did give it some thought and like you, I opted for the R (it arrives tomorrow). The lower price of the RP was tempting, but I was swayed by:
• Faster frame rate
• The better EVF, which I hope makes the transition from an OVF easier
• Higher shutter durability
• Presumed accessory availability (e.g., RRS L-bracket)
Wasn’t worried about the RP’s smaller battery, as I have spares for the M6 that uses the same battery.
What is going on with Adorama? They cancelled my order because my Apple Pay transaction from a week ago expired, so I had to reorder. Now they’re saying it’s on back order and a rep said no clue when cameras will be available. Has anyone had their camera ship?
I got my ship confirmation from The Camera Store in Calgary. Estimated delivery date is Monday. As noted above, we get an extra battery instead of the grip here in Canuckistan.
This is my first time as a launch customer for a new body. Any guesses how long I'll be shooting JPEGs while waiting for Lightroom support?
Nice. I rather have an extra battery than the grip.
Canon's DPP software should work with the RP's raw right away.
The main rationale for the R was a smaller FF camera for travel. What really pushed me over the edge was the availability of the variND filter adapter, because two of my main lenses for architecture are the TS-E 17 and the 11-24L (I do have the WonderPana 145mm for the TS-E 17, but it’s a pain to bring along on trips, and thus I never bothered getting the even larger front filters for the 11-24). I’m still not seeing the adapter available, so I won’t have it for my trip (leaving on Sunday), but that’s ok because this trip will be landscapes not architecture, so I may take only the RF 24-105 ( I have plenty of 77mm filters).Curious to hear what features this camera gives that were important to you. The ND adapter is up there for me as well as the size/weight for certain types of holiday travel. I don't like traipsing around cities with the 1DX2 around my neck.
In exactly the same situation, almost to the letter, however I have held off at the moment to see what the ‘pro’ R brings.The main rationale for the R was a smaller FF camera for travel.

When I want really small, e.g. for local daytime family outings, it’s hard to beat the M6.

Yes, It shipped yesterday and It arrived today before 10:30 am, I ordered through adorama as well about a week ago but not on apple pay, sorry to hear that hopefully you can get it soon! or I think B&H do have them in stockWhat is going on with Adorama?
