Hello! I have been looking for a new camera to get started in landscape astrophotography but I would also love to get nice photos of animals and city life as well. I haven't seen many photos of the R10 at night time for astrophotography so I'm hesitant in that aspect how well it could perform. But I have seen some astro photographies taken with the RP and it looks great with good lenses!

Also, since the ASP-C sensor is cropped and there is less light coming in, I thought that photos during night time would have more noise?

But also the R10 has 15fps I believe? whereas the RP only 5fps...

So I am a bit hesitant on which one I should get, any advice would be very helpful!

Get both.

The RP is a great all round camera for doing many basic photographic tasks.What it lacks is speed and good 4K video.

The R10 has speed and reasonable 4K video.

Neither have IBIS but both use the same battery.

Both are at the bottom of the range for their sensor size.

They compliment each other, and there are deals around for a bit of a saving under RRP.

They both come along in one of my bags.
