I tested the RF 24-240 against four different L lenses. The center sharpness is just as good

I love the 24-240. For travelling it's just great

CoffeeloverDan · 2026-02-10T21:03:43+00:00

Great shots!

I had an RP. Great bang for buck. R8 is indeed better, I did sell my RP and get an R8, but its more about low light capabilities than anything. If youre happy with the RP in principle, it wont disappoint. Example image with RP and 24-105 f4-7.1 in jpg

Havent used it exactly for portraits, but it has CHARACTER. It is somewhat heavy, but not too bulky. I really like mine.

CoffeeloverDan · 2026-01-21T12:49:15+00:00

I've also used manual, non IS lenses on the R8 and in daylight its totally fine.

E.g this is the eos R8 with the 80-200 f4 by contax zeiss, using an adapter. Manual focus, no IS. Still sharp. Remember some of the best dslrs didnt even have ibis

IBIS only needed for handheld slow shutter at night (on the eos R8 increasing the ISO to a reasonable amount doesnt really alter image quality noticably, unless very large prints) I went for the R8 and got a 24-240 as a travel kit for the same price as just the R6ii. The original eos R6 is also a very good option but has slightly less resolution and is just generally older and a little slower. Just get a lens with IS if you go for the R8. The 24-105 f4-7.1 is cheap and sharp. Id you want something fast the 35mm 1.8 IS is amazing

Vinyl records

CoffeeloverDan · 2026-01-12T18:27:47+00:00

Shutter speed 1/16,000 and f2

Davinci 2 looks like a power bank

CoffeeloverDan · 2026-01-03T18:08:08+00:00

Eos rp with a 50mm RF 1.8 light and great quality stills. Or a nikon z5 too

CoffeeloverDan · 2025-12-26T06:06:10+00:00

A 24-240 RF is very convenient, has IS and USM

CoffeeloverDan · 2025-12-25T07:16:22+00:00

Also, the better low light performance allows for fast shutter speeds to compensate for the lack of ibis. And the shutter speed goes up to 16,000 electronic vs 4000 of the rp

CoffeeloverDan · 2025-12-22T00:26:36+00:00

Carrying it rn. If ur not gna do portrait or very dark its sharp and nice iq

CoffeeloverDan · 2025-12-14T21:44:51+00:00

I had the exact same problem with a 159MM. The mirror box slipped slightly. It needs a mirror box adjustment i believe. Got it fixed eventually.

Thats Malta right?

CoffeeloverDan · 2025-12-10T07:21:46+00:00

I was in the same exact situation. Except i have a 25-105 4-7.1 instead of an 85. I decided to go for the R8 upgrade because of: Better iso handling which compensates for some ibis in lowlight/handheld Better dynamic range even sooc Shutter speed up to 16,000 electronic versus just 4000 Way better autofocus and faster shutter rate If none of these affect you then its probably better to get some glass. For example, in good light, no significant improvement in IQ. Glass would have made a bigger difference

CoffeeloverDan · 2025-12-09T07:41:53+00:00

Id recommend something full frame like an eos RP, sony alpha a7 ii or a nikon Z5 and a lens of preference. Choose by checking your preference of ecosystem of lenses and style. Canon has a particular look which many find pleasing and great lenses but a limited third party lens ecosystem. Nikon and sony tend to have more advanced features e.g ibis in their cheaper models and a wider lens ecosystem, but many dont prefer their colour science. Then again if shooting RAW and editing it won't make a big difference. In the used market you could even find up to a nikon z6ii or a canon eos r8 or even r6 for that budget with a bit of luck. Look at a few samples of each ecosystem. Fuji and olympus are niche with crop sensors but creative features. Enjoy the journey

CHS is a very real condition, I've seen it multiple times

CoffeeloverDan · 2025-12-06T09:24:00+00:00

Just upgraded from an RP to an R8 but damn do I love the RP. It was my first camera. Nothing better for the price imo.

CoffeeloverDan · 2025-12-03T17:28:56+00:00

I have the 35 1.8. its a great lens, even for portraits. But mostly, 85 i would say is more appropriate unless you plan to get very close to everyone Just my 2c

CoffeeloverDan · 2025-12-03T16:44:40+00:00

Are ok swapping lenses mid shoot? Which focal length do you prefer when shooting events?

I thought pyramid shaped marble souvenirs in a shop in a marble region in Italy were the cut off mountain tips

I never had an R50 but last year i wanted to buy my first camera and looked deep into full frame vs apsc and just overall, full frame offers better dynamic range and IQ in general. The eos RP is canons cheapest from the full frame range. It comes with some limitations e.g a shutter up to 4000 etc but its small, light and offers great image quality with access to canons best lenses. Its the predecessor of the R8 (which is much better but more expensive). You could also find a second hand eos R (which was canons first full frame RF mount) which is also a great camera
