No honorific warranted. You make a good point about lens selection. The day may come though, when you want something in between 35 and 600, and if so, don’t overlook used EF lenses.

@danferrin, thanks for your comment, point noted.

The RP is better though by a long way,its very user friendly and produces great images.The Fuji does better 4K video though.I'd suggest SAVEing with the Xmas sales being a good time you can "Santa" yourself.It'll be a great pressy!

I mostly have EF/s glass but the 35RF is a must for interior shooting.The 24-240 is a versatile good light piece of glass.

For telephoto I have Sigma 150/600Sports,its HEAVY but works pretty well.The RF 600/800 look pretty good too(once the price comes down).A major weight advantage.Enjoy.

@viska thanks for your comment. Based on the price history in Japan, November, and February seems to be the months where the cameras have the lowest prices. So I will try to buy it in November. I do like the 24-240 but decided on 35mm as my first lens, also the 24-240 kit is out of my budget :).

Don't ignore the 24-105 f/4-7.1. That's the equivalent of a Fuji APS-C 16-70mm f/2.7-4.7 or a 12-57mm f/2-3.5 micro four-thirds lens. A very useful, lightweight combination with the 35mm f/1.8. I don't know about Japan, but the Canon UK price for a kit with the RP body and that lens is £1400 compared to the body plus EF adapter price of £1220.

I bought a RP with 24-105/4-7.1 for SEK 14990 (roughly 1500$ or €) including VAT. I must say I'm very satisfied with both the camera and the lens. Only complaint is corner sharpness at 24 mm which is worse than on my old 24-105 L but not so bad it's unusable. You don't see it on a screen at normal view distance. Otherwise those two lenses are equally sharp, maybe the little one is even sharper in the centre.
