But you'll need 2 chargers and 2 sets of batteries if you take your R3 along

The R8 looks great, yes people will whinge about IBIS but you are essentially getting R6 II performance for $1500 which is fantastic value. For people who don't care about IBIS or use external stabilisation it could be the dream budget FF camera. Like I predicted it has the worst viewfinder they still produce lol
The R50 looks kind of cute too, although I'd want the R10 for the shooting speed which is not that far away in price.

Judging by BCN, the white M50/KissM sells well in Japan. (They have the black version there too.)

So Rp with R6 II sensor and new CPU, great upgrade indeed. R50 looks like EOS XX00D replacement.

In terms of digital ILCs, the 100D, 200D and 200D II came in white (with accompanying white 18-55mm kit lens as well as a white 40mm f/2.8, the M50 and M50 II, and the EOS RP came in champagne gold.

Low cost, but also light and small. I’m interested in it for the last two, especially compared to my R3. Most of my use will be on a tripod, so I’m not bothered by the low end EVF or cramped ergonomics.
However, an important consideration for me will be the availability of a good quality L-bracket (RRS, Kirk). RRS made one for the RP, I hope they will for the R8. I inquired with them about it. They were forthcoming when I inquired about a plate for the R3.

R8 is shaping to be a good little camera, but I would have personally preferred it to drop the viewfinder to reduce size and price by another $200 so it will match RP's introductory MSRP $1299.
I suppose we will get to that price point during Christmas with sales etc...

This was one of the more endearing aspects to the RP for me. (Every Canon I own other than the R5 uses the same battery.) Being able to get it for (effectively) 250 dollars was another. (I bought it and a 24-105L as a refurb kit when I got my R5; I was annoyed at being expected to pay an extra cent for the kit than the two items were separately. A screaming bargain.)

Honestly, it matters less now than it used to. Even with the M-series cameras, I rarely need the spare battery I carry. With the R3, I don’t even carry my spare when traveling. The difference with recent bodies used while traveling (and one reason I bought the M6II even though I had the M6) is USB-C charging of the onboard battery. That means the a USB-C multiport charger that charges tge iPhones we have with us also charge the camera batteries overnight, as does the single large brick for my 16” Mac.
The lack of IBIS is also not ideal, as on my trip this summer I know there will be places I can’t use my tripod, and 7-8 stops with the combo of IS and IBIS would be good to have.
Decisions, decisions. At least I have a few months.

It looks like the R8's EVF is going to get a 120 Hz refresh as oppose to the RP according to the specs listed there.

Yep. Oopsie. They are a Canon Authorized Dealer. I think I bought the tripod ring for my EF 70-300L from them when no one else had it.

The R8 and R50 look great! Canon has outdone themselves with all the features they have, it shows they want as many smartphone users to upgrade as they can get. The majority obviously want the EVF in these entry level models which I am happy to see, Canon would have removed the EVF or made an add-on like the M6 if that's what the majority wanted.
For people saying the R8 has the R6 II sensor, I understand it's the same MP but how do you know it's actually the same sensor?
I don't really understand why so many expect IBIS in these entry level models, they have to cut costs somewhere, I also think people expecting these models to have the bigger LP-E6NH battery is a bit of an unrealistic expectation as well, but I do understand their point since the LP-E17 does drain quickly on my M5. I'm not sure if the video time limit is arbitrary or if it's the hardware but 1 hour for the R50 and 2 hours for the R8 seems pretty decent.
