Looking for reasons to buy an RP?

As an entry level FF camera, Canon has birthed a winner. Putting an RF 24-105mm L on a low cost body produces pretty satisfactory results.

Birds at rest!

When I bought the original Rebel, a $1400 ( in 2019 $), in 2003, I also bought the 17-40 mm F/4 L, at $1,200. Guess what: this combination then is about the price of the RP kit now. I will not comment on the RF lens or the FF... these are bonuses!

Was the 17-40 an overkill? Maybe, I used it on many bodies and it is still considered a better lens today.

The world is different now and the competition is named cell phones and not Nikon or Sony.

But for the few looking to get into top class FF equipment, I would recommend the RP.

Enjoy.

I know these pictures could be improved and comments are welcome.
