Both are good cameras .. or wait for the new R10

Hi Yonatan, both are good ( first ) cameras and A massive improvement over iphone or similar.

Guess it also depends on which lenses you get with the deal.
I think that if I would prefer a small camera and would not be bothered to develop this into a bigger photo hobby i would go for the M.

the 850 gives the option to add very nice lenses (Canon eos EF ) .. which in 3-6 years from now you could migrate to a new RF body. (That has been my canon history .. adding / upgrading lenses .. upgrading bodies .. but not always at the same time )

You could also wait for the new R10, which will be announced before end May. ( not sure when it will actually sell )

where i live the RP with a kit zoom lens is ~ 250 or 25% higher priced than the 2 options you considered. I guess if you have the cash, would recommend that one ( it will keep also more it’s value, so not that much more ‘expensive’ over the life time .

good luck ! Photography is a nice hobby. Nice pictures of interssting events will be even better memories with nice visuals !
