I bought the RP with the 35 RF and I LOVE it. Super versatile, compact, lightweight, reliable AF and great image quality. I think the RP is super underrated and has a excellent value. Even if I have 2x R5 with great RF lenses for weddings/events, I easily prefer the RP for personal use (vacation, family, hobby)!

Man I remember reading your reviews in high school, when I got my original rebel camera. Now I just celebrated my birthday and turned 30... time goes by so fast, super grateful you’re still here talking about your passions and loving it! This was one of my favourite cameras to feel out in Best Buy, maybe illl get one one day, still playing with my eos m and magic lantern raw video but on the other hand it’s a great little camera with that 22mm f2

Thanks for the review and bringing back the joy of photography in me. Never thought a 36k subs channel and your website would enlighten me better than any other place on the internet.
I myself fell into the bottom level of photographer (according to your blog), wasting money for cameras every years buying every new Sony cameras to do lab test images then put in on shelf top. I was so brainwashed by the web into thinking canon is inferior in term of video spec (which I never shoot video) and noise at ISO I never used. I tried Fuji cameras but their film simulation wasn't my taste and I could just replicate it with just a click in Lightroom. I took a break from photography for a year due to mental health and realized photography is much more than reading specsheets and watching youtube videos, in fact most of the images Im proud of was taken with my phone during these hard time. Last week I found your EOS RP review page and tried out this amazing camera. Everything feel right the first time I hold this camera in my hand, the color is miles ahead compared to other things I've used.
Thanks again for the godly information on your website. Stay safe and keep up the good work!

I bought my first serious camera in 1983, a Contax 137 MA with a 50mm and a 35mm Zeiss lenses from B&H. I still have the lenses and they are awesome but the body died because it's electronic and I got it damp on a trip to northern Vancouver Island. Keep up the great work! I justt sent a $5.00 donation to Ken.

Thank you for this review. I went to both Sony and Canon stores yesterday. Played around with both cameras. The canon RP is a lot lighter than the A7III. Feels a lot more comfortable to hold, the menus are more intuitive. And I have to say that the EVF and the LCD are super clear. I just got sold my Panasonic G7, so compared to that camera, the canon is on a whole different level.

I’m glad that I’m not the only one singing this cameras praises, it is awesome and takes superb photos and like you say can the Canon colours are very hard to beat and make it all so easy thanks for the review.

Happy RP’s owner here! 🙋‍♂️loving every second I use it

[JDS-wifr]

Thanks so much for the review Ken; I have been following your site and reviews since the Nikon D50 era in 2005 (a camera which I used & loved for many years.) I have never had a single regret on any of your reccomendations and I'm a new Canon EOS RP owner: I love it!

[Bishnu_Deb]

Certainly the best review I have seen here in YouTube. Lots of love from India.

[davecarrera]

Thank you Ken. The best review I have seen of the RP. Sensible and a reality check. You have also saved me a lot of money lol Buying the RP which will suit my amature needs and more. I wish you well

[michaelajoseph]

I’m so greatful for your reviews and your channel. I’ve purchased a Canon RP, sold it and bought it back. I couldn’t be happier. RF 24-105 4-7.1 and 50 1.8 are great too.

[jbmaru]

The RP's getting some love at last, and being appreciated for what it is!

[tortuga]

I dont know if other people are like this, but when i spend too much on a camera, it takes away some of the joy using it because of the guilt lol. But when you can get just as good results with "budget gear" it ADDS even more joy. Idk what i'm saying.

[barryvenditti]

Your video is simply the best one I have viewed on u-tube. To be perfectly honest, you have convinced this amateur hobbyist to get this Canon RP. Thank you.

I got an EOS RP and a 24-105 L lens for Christmas. It's my favorite combination of gear!! I absolutely love it

[alban]

Hi Ken. Love the way you do reviews. Not flashy, just to the point with well sustended arguments. Canon will own you a new customer because I'm going to get this Canon RP in the coming days. Thanks for your great job!

[roodick]

OMG I didn't know you had a channel!! I've been reading your reviews faithfully for years 😅

[avril]

Just bought this so happy to hear you like it. Some reviews are not so good.

[dpaolini]

I've bought it at day one in 2019 and I'm still in love with it! Yesterday I bought also the 70-200 RF F4, I think they'll be very good together :)

[Necro_AAAARon]

Whoa! Forgot about Ken Rockwell (have to use both names)! Man, for the better part of a decade I never bought a piece of gear without checking to see what you thought about it first. Glad I stumbled across your channel. The OG of gear reviews 👍🏼
