The issues for multi-system users...

I realize I'm just expressing personal viewpoints here, but for those of us who shoot with a variety of different brand systems, the Canon EOS R system (including this new RP) may be inconsequential.

I've always been of the opinion that if I went FF (and I've been talking about doing that for a decade or so), it would be primarily to shoot much higher ISO, very low noise scenarios (above ISO 6400).  If I was just shooting with just the M system, then the R system might be quite appealing.

However, in my case, with me shooting with the EOS M, Fuji X, Micro 4/3, and the now defunct (yet still highly capable) Samsung NX system, I have many other options from which to choose.  For example, I'm getting superb high ISO results from my Fuji X system cameras, and currently it is my go-to camera for higher ISO scenarios - not to mention higher DR capabilities.

So although I'm glad to see Canon enter the FF mirrorless fray, for me, it's just not worth it.  If anything, I'd be inclined (if I had the bucks right now) to get the Fuji X-T3, or the pending X-T30.  But I'm quite content with the capabilities of my X-T1, X-E2, X-A3, and the superb (for stills shooters) X-T100.
