Very tempting.

Probably not quite tempting enough for me to jump on it.

The new R5 and R6 look pretty awesome, though, and I think I will stick with my SLRs until it's time to jump to the R5 or R6.

I don’t think the RP can keep up with action/sports. It is 4fps with focus tracking on. The new cameras are actually serious contenders.

Yes, that and the 180th X-sync are a turn off. Even the R is 8fps max and drops to 5fps with tracking AF. I can't find what the X-sync is for the R. ....Looks like it's whopping 200th.

I shot a football game along side a friend who has an R and the AF tracking was terrible, at least with EF lenses and the adapter. He told me ahead of time it was bad and then showed me an example after the game. I'm not sure, but I think I read the RP is actually better at AF tracking. But too many downsides to go with either.

Again, $700 & change for an RP is tempting but can't really see putting it to use and fitting into my workflow vs a couple 1DXs.

As a non-pro enthusiast, I bought the RP when it first came out and then picked up an R later in the year. I really like the RP, but am getting used to the R (daughter has taken over the RP). I have gotten amazing shots using it in the evening as dusk falls, thanks in part to the image stabilization.

I think these are really good deals, getting a full-frame camera for under $800 is a steal.

They are definitely not sports camera, but they will keep up with your children scampering around the house and yard.

Sam3, between the R and RP, which do you prefer?

The R and RP are fantastic cameras for most applications, even motion capture. The shortcomings of the camera were intentional as Canon wanted to create a solid full frame mirror-less cameras that didn’t cannibalized the SLR sales. The R5 and R6 are Canon’s admission that Sony sales of mirror-less cameras sales is making a dent on Canon’s sales.

That's exactly right. It's good that their competing. These content creators just baffle me. They nitpick over these relatively arcane features as if they're Frances Ford Coppola shooting "The Godfather 4." They need 8k in order to do a fierce cell phone case video.

Right now it's a tossup. I like the RP's ergonomics better than the R's. I did, however, get the small handgrip for the RP, and it makes holding the camera a bit more comfortable in my large hands. Also the quick control dial (the one on the top by the rear of the camera, is much easier to control with the thumb on the RP as it is on the R. For some reason Canon set the quick control dial into the body a bit more in the R than RP, making it harder to easily slide your thumb across it to change settings. The R has a slightly higher frame rate at 8pfs and, maybe more importantly, uses the same battery as the 5D, 6D and 7D series cameras, the LP-E6N. The RP's battery is the smaller-capacity LP-E17, which is popular with the M-series and most Rebels.

The primary reason I got the R was because of the higher pixel-count sensor. It is basically the 5D4's sensor, and I wanted it as it gives great results, especially when I have to do shoot group shots or landscape shots. I also got a good deal on it!

I would say that the RP handles low-light situations a bit better, however. I took a photo of an evening candle light ceremony, not expecting much, and therefore not really positioning myself to be as rock-steady as I should, and when I saw the results, I was impressed, the night sky had a nice dark blueish tint to it, the stars were sharp outside of some motion blur, the candles were fine, but the person was of course blurred due to motion.
