I'm keeping my RP and I'm happy about it!

*26 megapixels to use any way I see fit (more than the R6, mind you - and we all know more is better).

*I can shoot in crop at 10.1 megapixels, which is just as many as our Rebel XS had. Plenty for 8 x 10's.

*When I'm going through vacation photo edits and comparing with our Rebel we brought along - no blown highlights for the RP but some unrecoverable with the Rebel. Plenty of dynamic range for my simple needs.

*Plenty of stabilization in the lenses. When did everyone develop Parkinson's anyway? A couple grand $$ more for IBIS or a couple hundred $$ for a tripod?

*Dual cards? Whatever. Cards are just an added cost. What do I want to buy two for? If we expect our cards to fail, we're clearly buying the wrong cards!

I don't need no fancy R5's or R6's or nothing. Even if I had $4,000 laying around burning a hole in my pocket, I'd still keep my RP and probably feed my kids or something. If Fro hooks me up in the Super Huger $5,000 camera giveaway - I'll probably get lenses for the RP and something in the M's for a second camera (not one body and a kit lens).

There. I feel better. Thought I'd post a final thread about the RP as everyone else moves on. Any other RP owners feel free to sing it's praises in thread!

For general photography, the EOS RP is generally good for someone who is looking to dive into a full-frame mirrorless system. Oh, wait Nikon will be releasing its Nikon Z5.
