Hello all,
I am eyeing EOS RP and I believe mirror-less could be the future. Otherwise my immediate choice would be 6D mark II
Yes there is a nice adapter that takes EF and EF-S lenses and currently I own EF-S 15-85mm lens which I like for casual photos and an EF 50mm lens for portraits (not pro)
My question is how is EF-S 15-85mm on EOS RP. I am aware there is no crop-factor and dof is as it as.
So I am looking mainly the performance and other factors if any?

If you go for FF, you will not find the 15-85mm much use. It won't fit onto any FF canon DSLR, and it will automatically crop to just under 10 megapixels on the EOS RP or just over 11 on the R.

For the price of the RP I would recommend the EOS M6ii, a much more advanced 32 megapixel camera than the RP, which will take all your lenses (including the OM ones) and it's smaller than your EOS 450D. Your EF and EF-S lenses will give their best results on the M6ii. It does have a detachable electronic viewfinder; if you want one built in, consider the simpler and much cheaper 24 megapixel EOS M50. If money is tight and you're not bothered about an EVF, there's the M200 or the end-of-line M100, also 24 megapixels.

Going full-frame mirrorless isn't going to be worth it unless you also buy the 24-240mm RF zoom or one of the several 24-105mm RF or EF zooms.
