Re: Need advice regarding buying an EOS RP

I've been doing photography for over 60 years, and have an associate degree in commercial photography.  I've used everything from a Brownie to a Hasselblad, and even a bit of View Camera for film, and Canon 10D to 7D2 crop frame and 6D2 full frame.  A bit less than a year ago I bought an RP.  I wouldn’t recommend the RP for birds in flight, sports or fast moving children, but for just about everything else I shoot, I love it, and even though it could be better for fast moving children, it almost always nails focus on my grandchildren's eyes.  I use older adapted EF lenses on it and they work without a glitch.  Handling and ergonomics on this camera is superb, and personally, I really think the camera has a feeling that is reminiscent of my old Pentax Spotmatic film cameras, despite all of its advanced features.  Everything is just so intuitively accessible.  And the focus bracketing is an incredible bonus.  I think you’ve chosen a nice starter kit, but don’t rule out the adapter and used EF lenses.

My life is a circle of confusion - photography is my meditation.
