nice. from what i hear thou the EOS RP is basically a mirrorless 6D mark II.
It has the same sensor.
That's what I'm hearing too. The features the RP has make it better than the 6D Mark II to me. A lot smaller as well. Lighter. The primary thing I want to do is go a full day shooting with it. Specs say you'll only get 250 photos out of it whereas you can get 500+ on the 6D Mark II. But people have been getting 400-475 photos out of one charge on the RP. So the next photo shoot I have, I'll be sure to try to use up the battery. I got the package deal from Amazon that came with a bunch of extras like a camera bag, extra battery and charger, and lens cleaner and the grip extension.
The 24-70mm f2 is $2999. The 50mm f/1.2 is $2099. I'll stick with my adapter and EF lenses. DSag man. Then the 85mm is $2699. Don't make the camera $1200, talk about making a cheaper entry level mirrorless camera, then have the cheapest lens $449 and all the others $2k+. That doesn't sound right to me at all.
Oh. Just an update(EOS RP). Over the weekend, did 180 photos at Cars and Coffee and a family photo shoot later that same day that used 120 photos. 300 photos and only used up one notch on the battery life meter. So I'm sure you can get a good 500+ out of one battery.

Canon is loosing money in their camera division. Theyre hoping to fool people with the new mount and lens offerings. Canon relied on the entry level point and shoot market to make a lot of profit. Selling $30 and $40 cameras for $200-$400 dollars.

Well I won't be buying any of their new lenses. No thanks. I'll be buying another RP but I'll stick with the EF lenses until they come WAY down on those prices. They can help if they drop those prices down. Having a normal lens like a 85mm cost $2k is ridiculous. I can see if they had another variant but the ONLY one they have for the mount cost that much?

It's still an L lens though.. nothing 'normal' about that pricing even on the EF mount. Just wait for the non-L version to show up for RP
Yeah. They did...and we all know I'm not a huge Canon guy.
That said, I'm not buying into rumors. Let's see what the official announcements say.
Spec rumors have been pretty much correct for years. For Canon to drop 7D line and continue with their xxD. They have pissed of a lot of Canon shooters.

I’m referring to the lack of mention of 24p...could be a simple typo. If Canon really is dropping that...then that will be a huge deal. Either a sign that DSLR video is for anything other than sports or photo journalism is finally at an end (woohoo!) OR they are shifting their market elsewhere...mirrorless or C series.
POWERFUL, FASTER AND RUGGED: CANON ANNOUNCES THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EOS-1D X MARK III CAMERA
MELVILLE, N.Y., October 24, 2019 – Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced that its parent company, Canon Inc. is developing the highly anticipated Canon EOS-1D X Mark III Camera – the successor to the world-renowned and award-winning EOS-1D X Mark II. Ideal for sports and wildlife, the flagship DSLR is being engineered and designed using feedback from the worldwide community of EOS-1D X and EOS-1D X Mark II photographers. Continuing Canon’s rich heritage of creating first-rate optical products, the EOS-1D X Mark III offers an enhanced autofocus system, with dramatically improved still and video image quality and communication. When using this camera, professionals will have the confidence they will get ‘the shot’ and can deliver it at a competitive speed – faster than ever before – ideal for the increasingly fast-paced industry.
“The innovations put forth by the new EOS-1D X Mark III will set the new standard for professional DSLR cameras and further cement Canon’s commitment to its professional photographers,” said Kazuto Ogawa, president and chief operating officer, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “In developing the new camera, Canon listened to extensive user-feedback from professionals out in the field. The result is a camera that has evolved from its predecessor and maintained the overall quality that professional photographers have come to expect from the Canon EOS-1D series.”
Need for Speed
The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III will be blisteringly fast - offering exceptional precision, reliability, high-performance autofocus and subject tracking – providing photographers with a tool that will help to capture the shot they are chasing. The camera’s new autofocus algorithm will improve stability and tracking when using both the Optical Viewfinder and in Live View shooting mode, using Deep Learning Technology and adapting to help facilitate accurate focus tracking for every shot.
When using the optical viewfinder the camera will use a new autofocus sensor, with approximately 28 times the resolution in the center of the EOS-1D X Mark II. Offering the ability to autofocus in even brighter and darker situations than before and with greater precision, the camera will have a range of autofocus capabilities, which will enable the photographer to get their shot. In Live View mode, users will be able to make use of 525 AF areas using the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system will cover approximately 90x100 percent of the image sensor. The camera will support significantly faster frame rates with full AF and AE, using either the optical viewfinder (up to approximately 16fps mechanical shutter) or Live View (up to approximately 20fps mechanical or electronic shutter). Additionally, the camera’s dual CFexpress card slots will enable more than five times the RAW burst depth of its predecessor.
Powered to Dominate
The development of EOS-1D X Mark III is a clear example of Canon’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovative imaging products featuring optically excellent technology. The camera will support an all new, Canon-developed, CMOS sensor and DIGIC processor, that will deliver greater image quality, at even higher ISOs, with the ability to capture stills in 10-bit using the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File) file format. HEIF produces wider dynamic range and greater color representation compared to JPEG. The power of 4K resolution brings stories to life – shoot 4K videos including 4K60p with 10-bit 4:2:2 Canon Log internal recording.
Conveniently Connected
For professionals, content delivery is just as important as image capture – the EOS-1D X Mark III will make it easy, featuring built-in Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® low-energy connectivity in addition to GPS technology. To keep pace with ever-shortening deadlines, the camera will transfer data at more than twice[i] the speed of the EOS-1D X Mark II when using the built-in Ethernet connection, or the new optional wireless file transmitter – the WFT-E9, which is also compatible with Canon’s recently launched Cinema EOS C500 Mark II camera. Coupled with simpler network set-up the camera will greatly enhance the professional workflow.
A Familiar Feel with Improved Attributes
Existing EOS-1D series users will be familiar and comfortable handling the EOS-1D X Mark III allowing seamless navigation with trusted ergonomics – whilst the magnesium alloy body will offer the durability expected from Canon’s EOS-1D cameras. Professional photographers can trust the same impressive build-quality as the EOS-1D X Mark II – with phenomenal weather-sealing, standing up to harsh conditions, including wind, rain and humidity. With incredible low-light shooting capabilities, the camera will now feature select illuminated buttons that allow for precision operation in challenging, dark and dimly lit conditions.
The camera will also offer a new additional control for selecting AF points, built into the AF-ON button, allowing photographers to change AF points on-the-fly for the best composition – further helping to simplify their work. In addition, dramatically improved battery life – with the same LP-E19 – will allow professionals to shoot for longer periods of time, without having to change batteries, helping reduce the chance of missing a shot.
The 70-200 f2.8 and 85mm f1.2 DS we’re officially announced.
The Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM will be available in late November for $2700; the RF 85mm F1.2L USM DS is scheduled to arrive in December for $3000.
The only one I see being less than $2k is the 24-240. That MIGHT be like $900. All the others are gonna be $2k+. They need some non-L lenses for the RF mount.
