I do like the silent shutter in my Fuji. I guess needs to read more about it.

It is hidden in a scene mode that uses auto-exposure.

But you can access it by using the focus bracketing feature. Set it to 2 shots and just delete each first image (the second is the correctly focused one).

Kind of inconvenient, but you can use the fully electronic shutter if you really need it.

About the prices in Japan, they are higher here in Europe too. Canon adds 10% compared to the US prices since the release of the 5D IV, and then tax gets on top.

Regarding the RP, I came from a 5D Mark II, and apart from the larger battery I am missing nothing. Its features are way above entry level.

Buttons are customizable, 1/4000s is still 2 stops faster than a classic manual focus SLR, 4/5 FPS is also a lot faster (depending on how fast you could use the film advance lever ) and it has spot metering, once a feature of pro bodies. Plus a 1 GB buffer and the ability to shot endless bursts in Raw until the card is full, if the card is fast enough.

Anything beyond that would be nice to play with, but the results on paper will be pretty much the same.
