Junk? ...

Today Canon announced a piece of poo camera called the RP. What is causing people to go into a stir it's affordable and brand NEW. What they're ignoring that it's a piece of junk. If they made a basic still camera at that price and bundled it with a new 50mm 1.8 lens then that would be more than acceptable. Instead Canon is releasing a piece of junk camera, because it's Canon, because it Full Frame and because it junk/cheap, people are worried it will kill off crop sensor cameras. Then you have Fuji comes along with the X-T30 and the camera just blast the Canon to pieces.

Junk?  A bit too harsh I think.  Certainly not top of the line, but at $800 less than any current FF mirrorless what did you expect?

It can produce better images than a $3K EM1x.

I guess one mans junk is another mans affordable FF mirrorless camera.

Probably getting one myself.  I know it is not perfect, but with my L series lenses and primes mounted it will produce images superior to any m43 camera.  So I guess I'll be shooting 'junk' soon and loving the results.
