Hello everyone. Planning to upgrade from original 6D to EOS RP. Any thought? In terms of dynamic range both similar or downgrade from 6D?

QUOTE(Michaelbyz23 @ Jun 25 2021, 11:45 AM) If you're looking for a better dynamic range, 6DII in fact has worse performance compared to 6D in both ISO + dynamic range department. I'm looking for an upgrade path to the RF mount. Seems it provide all the necessity for a basic mirrorless camera. I've started from olympus mirrorless than switch to Canon. Now seems to be right time. EOS RP camera with RF adapter cost arout RM4100 right now. EOS R seems out of my budget.Why not look at EOS R, which is the 5DIV sensor, with better dynamic range? |

QUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Jun 26 2021, 02:43 PM) Like what Michaelbyz said, the DR specifically is a downgrade from 12 stops to 11 stops. Your second post seems pretty definitive already that since the R is already out of your budget, your only option is the RP if you wanna go the RF mount and buy brand new. Thank you for your advice. Just bought my EOS RP from lazada. But seems to have some issues with the seller in terms of product packagingHowever, even with the supposed downgrade of DR in the RP, it isn't completely out of the question that the camera is an upgrade in many other traits that might matter to you. Even though it's not a very popular opinion, I don't think DR and MP or many other things hyped up sometimes are the be all and end all of camera choice. Things as simple as articulating screens, EVF vs OVR, ergonomics and placement/customizable buttons sometimes matter more in the long run. All about what you want and how much you can tolerate the pros and cons of each camera. https://cameradecision.com/compare/Canon-EO...vs-Canon-EOS-RP <---- quite comprehensive as far as SPEC comparison is concerned. +price is still VERY important for most casual shooters. Me included. Good luck in your purchase! |

QUOTE(Melvin117 @ May 31 2021, 12:06 PM) Bought the rp set with adapter ring from kengdim on lazada, arrived and the dial has a big scratch... I bought body only from same seller on lazada. Item arrived but i noticed the box is for body with kit lens but inside there's only body. The seal seems intact but I'm not sure. Everyrthing was wrapped well for body, battery and charger. I suspect they take out the kit lens and sold them separately. Talked to the seller and he whatsapped me to send it back to him then to canon for an inspection It's gonna take few weeks now due to MCO So he advised me to send back after MCO I'm not so sure about the Canon policies and will they just push it back to me saying it's my own mistake? Should I just refund it and order another? ![]() *Update: Seller claimed only have set with kit lens, so they take out the lens. They guarantee that the body is new. Serial number on the body is same with serial number on the box. This post has been edited by razkal: Jul 2 2021, 02:38 PM |

QUOTE(Michaelbyz23 @ Jul 2 2021, 08:59 PM) Thank you, I'm very much happy today receiving the camera. The camera seems very light and feel like a miniature full frame in my hand compared to my previous 6d. I think I'll get used to it. Focusing is very much improve. However some sets back with sigma lens keep underexposing 2-3 stop, I think it require firmware update after reading somewhere in dpreview. Also manage to attach old om lens using adapter, focus peaking really helpful and does the job, however not sure how to take photos as fully press Shutter button doe's not work/does not take photo 😅. Here's some photos of the camera attach with lens. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

QUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Jul 2 2021, 09:08 PM) Though I don't condone this kind of "take out the kit lens and sell it separately", many are doing it and it seems to be somehow standard practice. However, I was also told before that Canon (not sure about other companies, but my Olympus was also similar) does not seal their boxes. Unsealed boxes of any kind of item, well.... you got to take it as it is and trust the seller. Many ways to check when you receive the product like what you did with the serial number, check physical condition, etc. Rest assured, if you bought it new, then the warranty should cover you just in case anything happens. Actually I'm OK as long as the seller is honest but i was not told until received the item. Seller insist item is new just that the kit lens was removed from the box. Not sure how to go about this.However, nice purchase and happy lens hunting! |

Finally manage to figure out how to take photos using old olympus manual focus lens. Here’s some mundane photos from home as no chance to test outside MCO.

QUOTE(Michaelbyz23 @ Jul 3 2021, 05:59 PM) Thanks bro.QUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Jul 4 2021, 12:44 PM) Yeah, I get what you feel also, cause usually like when buying phones or other electronic devices, I insist on sealed boxes also... But so far so good... Not one lens, camera or flash seems to show any issues and work/quality as expected Nothing fancy. Just set up the camera to shoot without a lens and enable focus peaking from the menu. For manual lenses, I usually use either A or M mode. Fo these two modes I set ISO to auto. Depends on you actually, sometimes I use the histogram function to properly expose as well. The beauty of mirrorless is WYSIWYG. No more guessing. Here's a video to help.Fuh bro! Awesome colors! Share your fix also, who knows it might help others? Did you 'unassign' AF on the shutter like how we use BBF methods? Cheers bro! Snap more and share more! |

Happy to report today that my sigma 35mm f1.4 is working flawlessly once I've updated the lens with a newer firmware. No more issues with lens communication errors and erratic exposure behaviour. It also works with in camera lens correction. The AF accuracy was spot on compared to 6D. No more problem with front and back focus. teikboon liked this post

Does EOS R still consider a good buy in 2021? Or should I go to R6?

QUOTE(pengster @ Aug 4 2021, 07:06 PM) I would say if you have the budget to go for the R6, go for it. But it's almost 2x the price of the R so it really depends on your needs. I myself got the R6 because I needed a second body for events (whenever events are allowed again) to pair with my 1DX. For casual shooting probably don't need unless you got the money to spend. Haha OK. Thanks mate R6 seems like overkill, another additional RM4K but really attempted with the dynamic range. I'm not that happy with rp shadow recovery seems worse than my previous cam. |

QUOTE(pengster @ Aug 4 2021, 07:25 PM) Yeah the 6D Mark II sensor wasn't well known for it's DR. I heard the R/5D4's sensor is better but not as good as the R6/R5. But I don't have any experience with the 5D4/R so I can't really comment. I came from a 5D3 and the DR on that is a joke I used 6D before and it's shadow recovery is not that bad, but rp however the noise is intolerable and we're talking at the base iso, regret buying the camera. Although all other features is actually a worthy upgrade from the previous cam. I look through nikon underexposed z5 raw files online and it's dynamic range is unbelievable at base ISO. But after reading thoroughly their AF is not as good as canon dual pixel AF. Seems canon still winning on the AF.I would say the R6 is overkill for casual usage but damn that AF and speed is really next level. I could actually use my old EF 50 1.2 for events for the first time |

QUOTE(pengster @ Aug 4 2021, 08:21 PM) Yeah but the 6D Mark II's sensor which is the same in the RP isn't as good as the OG 6D in terms of shadow recovery. Many people complained about that when the 6D Mark II came out, including noise performance. R6 sensor is similar to 1dx right? Seems like a flagship sensor should be excellent. From many videos, reviewers mentioned that R6 sensor tends to give warmish colour to skin tone. Is it true? Also many mentioned is it easier adjust colour from R sensor and less editing required for that part.Yeah in terms of DR, Nikon & Sony is still ahead of Canon. Only the R5/R6 have caught up recently. I love the noise performance in my R6 though, but haven't used it enough to judge it's DR performance yet. |

QUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Aug 9 2021, 05:12 PM) fuiyoh bro... damn poisonous man.... you got the 24-105mm also or is that just the box? Where got lens? Got body only but box is for body and lens. Same case different seller. However, I did check my camera with shuttercount software downloaded on my ipad. Seems ok 0 shutter count but good for you that you can splurge on something you love. During these times, it's important to have a good hobby and invest in it! |
