Canon is back and the RP is outstanding....

Skintones aren't warm enough in some situations. It happens often in low light situations when a face is surrounded by a relatively dark back ground. Or bright sunny conditions when the exposure is a bit too much at the bright side. It seams the white balance doesn't have enough reference in these cases. However, my M50 does not have these kind of problems (although that one paired to the sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 can't handle low light situations as difficult as my R + 50mm f/1.4 is able to handle, so..... it could have to do with how difficult the situations are in terms of available light)

Sometimes not only faces but an image as a whole is a bit on the green side.

I have a Canon 60D that sometimes will throw the entire picture out of color balance.  However, just adjusting the gamma slider in any photo program will fix it.

I certainly would not want that to happen with a new camera.

There's a tab in the menu where you can tweak the colors, and setting it one or two steps on the horizontal axis to the reds helps for me. Probably this messes up true to life colors a bit (not to a degree i would notice it though), but that's not as important to me as having warm enough skin tones when i need it.

Maybe the Canon portrait picture style would  fix that.

Wouldn't it just be a tweak to one of Canon's picture styles?

I never dived so deep in this i can exclude this could solve a problem. I didn't find anything setting like "gimme warmer skin tones in the situations they are too cold" or "handle the colors as smart as the M50". I don't find categories there fitting the problems i am experiencing. But there are forum members around having far more knowledge and experience than me.

I just use the landscape picture style as a starting point and reduce the contrast and up the saturation a couple of notches.

I would look forward to the extra features in the 'R', but if the 'RP' produces more consistent quality jpegs, I might have to consider that.
