The RP will cost 500-700 dollars less than the R and R7, have great low low light performance, and get the job done and far as family pics or children moving around the house. If money is not constraint I agree the R7 and R are better cameras. The R10 is also an option at the same price of the RP.

The thing that irks me is that the R10 doesn't have IBIS, while all the competitors do have it. Nowadays I think it's a basic feature to have, but maybe that's just me.

Features are always a game of give and take. The R10 doesn't give you IBIS but you do get the same AF system that is in Canon's top R system camera, the R3, which is also the same AF in the R7. It blows away the AF in its APS-C competitors at any price point. Then it also has the ability to shoot 15 fps with mechanical shutter and 23 fps with the electronic shutter. I am not aware of any camera at its price point that does this. Add these two together and it makes the R10 one very capable camera at a sub $1k price. If I had to choose IBIS or the R10's AF and frame rate it is an easy choice. Canon can keep the IBIS.
