>>4044597But the RP is weather sealed. Maybe it's not u to the same spec as higher end models but it'll handle a drizzle or two. Also, the general consensus is the old sensor makes better looking pictures than that R does. The only viable upgrade from the RP is the R6.The lens price hike isnt to scam people like us, it's to make as much money as possible from pros who either claim all this gear as tax deductibles themselves or work for an organization who spends tens of thousands like its nothing.
This guy right here shot for the depp court case. Thats like a $20k setup he's got. That kind of money doesn't matter for pros so why wouldn't canon scalp as much money from them as they could. Look up pictures yourself and tell me you can see a marginal difference between cheap and pro rf glass. The only thing I notice without pixel peeping to oblivion is less background separation. Sure you'll need higher iso on slower glass, but were on full frame here don't forget. 12800 iso on an rp still looks really good and that's an extreme example.
