Judging by the dpreview samples, the RF 24-50 is absolutely worthless, I'd rather buy a cheaper body and some better lenses. What's the point of using a fullframe body with a cr@p lens?

As yet there are NO samples that I can find on dpreview or indeed anywhere else. You may not like the specifications, but it’s a bit premature to call it “worthless”. It would make a nice compact walk around solution with an RP/R8 size body. Not everyone needs - or can afford - a large aperture or L-level construction. The low cost 24-105 STM shows that Canon can make very good budget zooms.

The image samples are available here:
