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?

With respect, you're a Nikon shooter on a Canon forum, be kind. But, here you go.

Nikon should be scared of that R8. Makes the Z5 look, obsolete.

I am a Canon shooter and I don't care about charts, I rather judge images. The samples provided by DPR with the 24-50 look pretty bad. Nothing wrong with the camera, the issue is with that lens.

Come on, it is the most basic 300 USD zoom lens for FF. What would you expect?

Exactly this.  Anyone who wants a “better” lens is welcome to stump up for the 28-70 f2 L.  OTOH it will go very nicely on an RP/R8 as a minimalist outfit when low light or super soft bokeh is not the intention.
