Here's a nice DIY kit that'll last for many years, and it'll be a massive improvement over all but the "best" DSLRs. All on a very reasonable budget.
It'll be perfectly fine for stills, but a bit weak for video compared to many modern mirrorless bodies. If video is your primary goal, keep this in mind as you do your homework.
RP Body: $600
50mm/1.8: $80
RF 24-105 IS: $160
RF 100-400 IS: $380
Subtotal: ~$1220
but wait, there's more! subtract $60 savings from buying RP + RF 24-105 combo on the same order....
Total: $1160 (10% loyalty discount, if applicable - brings the total to $1044+tax)
-------
Other good lenses to possibly consider:
- EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM @ $499
(this is a great Macro --and portrait-- lens that's EF mount. You'll need an EF-to-RF adapter @ $100 to use it on the RP or any R-series mirrorless, but you can do so without any drawbacks).
- EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM @ $49
(if you have an M-series body, this is a very competent & lightweight kit zoom at a bargain price. unfortunately, it's 100% not compatible on EF/EF-S DSLRs or R mirrorless bodies.)
- Canon EF 11-24mm F4L USM @ $1499
(a very strong performing ultra-wide angle lens with minimal distortion, about $500 cheaper than the current used rates. this isn't for everyone, but if you've been eyeballing it, I doubt you'll find it for cheaper. It's $200 cheaper than last Black Friday holiday season. It's a lens with few, if any, comparable versions from other manufacturers. As with all EF lenses, you'll need an adapter for R-series mirrorless.)
------
Other components to consider:
- neckstrap (highly personal choice, good brands are Peak Design, Domke, and Black Rapid. I'm not a fan of included neckstraps.)
- camera bag (again, highly personal. good brands are lowepro, ruggard, tamrac. various options include backpack, shoulder bag, sling bag, and holster bags, and hardshell cases like Pelican/Nanuk cases)
- extra batteries (i'd suggest getting 2x spares, as the RP can be a battery hog. get name-brand batteries only from a reputable vendor, like B&H Photo or Adorama.)
- memory card (v60, 128gb-256gb would be more than enough unless you're doing lots of video work, which isn't the RP's strong suit. Once again, beware of counterfeits from places like Amazon. Order from B&H or Adorama or directly from the manufacturer. I always suggest multiple smaller cards instead of one supermassive card -- spares in case of failure.)
- lens protection (i'm personally against UV/protection filters. even the best expensive B+W brand multicoated can cause nasty glares and reflections. I'd suggest getting a lens hood, and a third party branded one at that -- like vello. Canon's official lens hoods are ridiculously expensive.)
- tripod (once again, highly personal option. there's a lot of choices out there with a plethora of options. consider buying used. Bogen/Manfrotto makes very respectable products, for the most part. keep in mind, everyone makes pro-tier and budget-tier hardware.)
The R6 Mark I at $1299 is a smoking hot deal on a really good camera. It's $1000 less than a year ago. https://www.usa.canon.c

As far as I know, the price on this swtup beats last Black Friday's pricing. I tried to get a loyalty discount over the phone but got nowhere. It would be nice, but I am happy to have gotten the deal as is.
You made my day!
I just ordered the R6 Mark I .
I will pass my RP down to my son as a birthday gift.
Will be summer of photos!!!!
Insanely good deals.
R6 (mk1) + 24-105 STM would be (1299 + 100), with another 10% off if using loyalty program.
RP + 24-105 STM would be (599 + 100), with 10% off if using loyalty program.
First customer service rep said my camera had to be broken, second customer service rep didn't even ask if the camera was broken.
I kid, I kid. Sort of.

Main thing holding me back to switch to RF is I use Lightroom Classic and shoot RAW.
If I go to anything RF (newer bodies), I have to fork out monthly/annual Lightroom subscription??
That's a hefty price jump from using paid for software.
Any tips/ideas to switch to RF with minimal cost and staying with Adobe products?

I'd say order it, and if it's not what you ordered, keep a screenshot of the product page. It wasn't as it was advertised and you'd like a refund or an exchange for the proper item.

One second, customer service rep.....-CRASH BANG SLAM-.....ahem, there you go. I can positively affirm the camera is broken.
