Canon EOS RP Field Test

Imaging Resource has completed its lengthy EOS RP field test.  Generally speaking, the results were obviously mixed.  When firmly keeping in mind it's the target audience and price point, the EOS RP did an adequate job, however, when considering it from a more enthusiast standpoint, the Canon EOS RP fell short of expectations.

Looking at the RP, I understand it is not the camera certain Canon users wanted. It's very clearly aimed at the low-end of the interchangeable lens market, and that is Canon's strategy. But just because you disagree with their strategy doesn't mean it's a bad camera. For who it is designed for, it's actually pretty great. It's a good still image-focused camera that is very responsive, is easy to operate, and has just enough customization to it to satisfy even intermediate level shooters. It's not going to win any technical achievement awards, but it is going to move units to an industry more and more dominated by general consumers than professional photographers. For a big business like Canon, their decision making makes sense from that perspective.
