Hello everyone,
Background:
I am a novice photography hobbyist. Loves to take photos of everything and share some of them to my Instagram account. I started with an OMD EM10 MKIII, superb little camera, but after using it for a year switched to Fujifilm X-T30. There were no issues with my Olympus, and there were no justifications for the switch, just wanted to try an APSC camera. Love the Fuji camera but now I want to try a full-frame Camera.
Question:
I have gone through many reviews and discussions and finally rounded upon RP. This is not the final choice, as I will be taking around 3-4 months to save up enough money to buy this camera. So the plans can change in the future. So for now, I would like to buy the EOS RP to try their new 600mm RF lens and their 35 mm RF lens.
I would like to shoot animals, landscapes, snapshots, and videos. I do understand that the above two lenses are not the optimal choices but I don't want to try the adapter and other lenses seem to be very expensive.
So could you please share all the bad things you have experienced while shooting with an RP? I couldn't find too many negative things so want to have some external perspectives.
Thank you

If you go with the RP I would definitely get the 24-105mm f4-7.1 lens.  I feel like that range is so versatile and would be good for landscapes since you'll stop it down and get the most out of it.
