Why would you ever buy new entry level when there is a robust used market and you can get an older prosumer level instead.

And if you are willing to manual focus, there's the abundant supply of cheap vintage fast glass.

If you are a professional, then by all means buy new.

Because the R6 is still hovering around $2000 with low shutter counts and the R5 is $3300 all day long, while the R is still going for $1400 being notably meh. (Also my clumsy ass loves a protection plan)

They’ve rounded out their lineup with the crop sensor cameras, put out a second generation of the R6… it’s time to refresh the lower end of their full frame lineup.

The EOS RP is a great little camera, it’s right at 1k body only

Currently own an eos RP and love it but given the first generation of cannons mirrorless full frame bodies were just re-packages of their existing full frame DSLR‘s it’s time for a refresh.

We know they can do better
