I just tried focus bracketing on EOS RP with the RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM lens.

I specified 40 images, all 40 were taken but I picked first 20 for composite.

Exposure: 1 sec, F11, ISO 11, lens at 99mm.

First frame (focused manually):

You really need to view the result at 100% to appreciate how sharp it is. I had do do it over because first attempt had my fingerprints on the ruler and I didn't want to post them online

It was a resource-intensive task that took 8 minutes and generated 3 GB of temp files. I have i7-4770 CPU and all cores were pegged at 100%. DPP was consuming 1.5GB of RAM and batch process for stacking was consuming another 1.5GB of RAM.

i want to replace my aging 5Dmki with the R but its this focus stacking that pulls me to the RP

RP is definently the better of the two

No, it isn't.
