I am heavy in EF equipment and have not looked into RF yet. Can I still use my EF or do I need to start over with RF?

add a $100 ef-to-rf adapter and you're good

Best deals of this sale:

RP Body: $600 -- this is an older, compact full-frame body. It's a bit weak in the video area, but it does excellent stills at a very affordable price. You'll be very hard to find a better DSLR (or entry level mirrorless) at this price point. In fact, the RP outperforms all but the best DSLRs in raw performance and/or quality of life features.

RF 24-105 STM: $200 -- it's not the "fastest" or "best optically" lens, but it's a very decent lens at this price point. It has been cheaper at $120 last BF/Christmas holiday season, and the last sale a few weeks ago it was $220. At $200, it'll pair well with the RP body mentioned above, making a very nice $800 "diy kit". The 24-105 range is a great "walkaround" lens that'll handle almost any situation you encounter while on the go, on vacation, etc.

[note: With any EF or EFS lenses, you'll need to get a ~$100 EF-to-RF adapter if you plan on using them on any R-series mirrorless.]

EF 75-300: $99 -- this isn't image stabilized, but for $99, it kinda falls into the "sure why not?" category. You're getting 300mm of reach for under $100. That's more than fair. Stabilize it with proper technique or a tripod. It's not National Geographic-quality glass....but you won't get those lenses at these bargain prices.

(personally, I think Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM would be a much better lens. But even used, it goes for around $375 - a considerable sum more.)

EF-S 24mm pancake: $79 -- this is for APS-C sensors (not full frame, but you can adapt it to full frame R-series with a megapixel loss). It's not particularly wide or fast, but the benefit of it is a very lightweight lens. Put this on an existing SL or a Rebel-series body, and you'll have a featherweight kit that'll optically outperform nearly every kit zoom lens.

There is a EF to RF adapter that will make all EF lens work with R series cameras.

However the AF performance will be limited by you the lens.

For example, servo mode with high speed AF will struggle if you have the top model with 20/30/40 fps with AF.

Not a problem on older model like R and RP.

The 75-300 is one of Canon's worst lenses. Yes it's cheap but don't expect it to have any type of quality. Some of the 50-250 lenses have had way better quality for similar prices. I haven't shot crop in a long time so not sure of current options but if you're looking at that lens to be sure to do your research to understand what you're getting especially considering you probably bought an slr or mirrorless camera to try and make your photography better than a phone.

I bought the RP and the 50mm f1.8 in the last sale. I've used m4/3 for the last 10 years, and can't say enough nice things about the RP combo.

It's not that big, it takes excellent photos, and the AF is stunningly good. You will need to tweak the settings a bit (the only camera I've ever had to turn contrast down on), but it's a great setup.

My plan is to augment with a refurb 85 f2, and the new 28 f2.8 for a great light weight full frame setup.

I've bought 2 canon bodies, and a couple of lenses as well, that were refurbished. They have functioned flawlessly.

There was a sale a few weeks ago with the RP at 599. More lenses were on sale at that time. Maybe more will become available in time for Fathers Day.

Literally every EF lens I ever tested performs far better under the new mirror less R series.

The focus is dependent on actual final focus of the image pixels, so the performance blows away the EF bodies.

Been on the EOS M6 for a while now using EF lenses with the adapter. Anyone think that the RP would be a good upgrade in terms of video? While I do some photography, the M6 has always been sufficient in that area and I mostly focus on video and tend to prefer smaller setups.

Confirmed...... my 5D IV is tad sharper w/ all of my L lenses in live view compared to viewfinder. It's really good through the viewfinder, but stunningly good in live view.

I have a 5D3 and a 6D. Would the RP be better than both of these cameras?
Which mirrorless would be a good one to go to?

For lenses, I have 17-40L, 24-70L, 70-200 2.8L, 50mm 1.2L, and I use 580Ex2 flashes.

My setup is aged at this point.

No, not worth upgrading to the RP for video.
