I have RP + 24-240 (2022) and RF50 RF 100-400 (2024). I had problems with the small size of the R50. Added a silicone skin (AliExpress) and now have better grip. Those lenses are competitive with mirrored zooms of the same specs. They can be used on either FF or APS-C bodies. It's worth considering that FF is no longer that much dearer than APs-C. The debate of FF v APS-C has been busted wide open with FF getting cheaper and APS-C getting better. Admittedly the R50 has some better specs than the RP. So it's FF IQ v APS-C with better features and latest technology. Got big discounts so backed both with two undervalued zooms. In body lens corrections for jpegs (only) is a great feature for both of them. Jpegs are pretty good straight from the camera!
Thank you for sharing your detailed experience and insights It's always great to hear from someone actively using a variety of lenses and bodies like the RP and R50. You’ve highlighted an interesting and ongoing debate FF vs APS-C. Indeed, with the price gap narrowing and APS-C cameras getting better features, the decision often boils down to individual priorities whether it's full frame image quality or advanced technology on APS-C bodies like the R50. Your point about lens corrections and JPEG quality is spot on. Many users find the straight-out-of-camera results satisfying, especially with Canon’s in-body corrections. Your setup with the RF 24-240, RF 50, and RF 100-400 sounds versatile and well-suited for diverse shooting scenarios. Adding the silicone grip for the R50 is also a smart adaptation to enhance usability. Thank you again for your thoughtful input, and I hope the video provided value to you
This looks like just a one pick from each brand in a similar category and reading from the brochure. Pity. I thought micro 4thirds was a Fuji thing? Doesn't matter. For the beginner and advanced amateur, the size of the sensor is not quite as critical as it used to be. Just look at what phone cameras are producing these days! I have the RP and R50. I'm Canon biased and very happy with both of them. Regardless, the important part is to check what lens you want. A whole new topic. I've been using zooms for 4 decades and love them. One lens and no lost shots to changing them. That might decide your camera body more than the body features.
Thank you for your insightful comment You're right that the video provides an overview of options from various brands, focusing on similar categories. I completely agree that choosing the perfect camera isn't just about listed features it heavily depends on the available lenses and individual shooting needs. Regarding sensor size, you're correct that advancements in smartphone technology have reduced its importance in some scenarios. However, larger sensors still play a significant role in depth of field and image quality in low-light conditions. I appreciate you sharing your experience with the Canon RP and R50, and it's great to hear you've found a setup that works well for you. I also agree on zoom lenses; they're an excellent choice in many situations to avoid missing shots while changing lenses. I might dedicate a future video to discussing lenses and their role in camera selection. Thanks again for raising these valuable points
@@THEFANTASTIC5LISTCHANNEL My first camera was 120/620 roll film. That's 2.5" x 3.5" negative! 35mm film was considered 'toy' level. A bit up from the Kodak ones. Eventually that changed to 35mm film as professional. Now its digital. The price differences between FF and APS-C is blurring. Especially with mirrorless. The old mantras (FF for low light, higher IQ, etc) are coming under attack. Give it another 20 years and APS-C may well be the professional one.
Thank you for your comment You’re right that the EOS R50 lacks weather sealing and IBIS (In Body Image Stabilization), which might be a drawback for some users, especially in challenging conditions or when shooting on the move. However, this camera is designed for beginners and hobbyists looking for excellent performance at an affordable price. For stabilization, users can rely on lenses with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), which works well in reducing shakes. As for weather sealing, it’s typically found in higher-end models like the EOS R6 Mark II or R5. In the end, the EOS R50 offers great value for its price, especially for those focused on image quality and ease of use in less demanding environments.
