While this camera leaves many things to be desired compared to modern offerings, it's mind boggling to see a full frame fairly well featured camera body being offered basically new for $600. Could be an incredible backup/B-cam body, RF entry point for existing EF owners, or just a way to get started on a larger sensor format without being in for as much money especially paired with STM primes.

Totally. Much worse cameras have been used to shoot the cover of Vogue in years past.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it at $499 refurb on Black Friday. Stick a refurb $79 RF 50mm f1.8 on it, and you're ready to shoot award-winning photos.

Having said that, I think a refurb R8 is totally worth the price difference if you have the budget for it. I'm planning to get one of those around Black Friday for around $1,000 refurb.

Is this paired with an EF-to-RF adapter a good upgrade from my current Rebel T2i (APS-C)? I'm a casual/hobby photographer (travel, urban landscapes, portraits, animals, occasional night sky). Purpose of the camera would be to practice photography and be able to take photos better than on my phone.
My lenses are:
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.8
- Canon EF-S 55-250mm
- Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8
- Rokinon FE14M-C 14mm f/2.8
Or would sticking with an APS-C EOS R10 with adapter be better?

This would be a vast upgrade. The big reason to go with a new R series camera would be that those have the new AF system which is extremely fast and powerful. If you do a lot of continuous tracking focus (does a T2i even have that?) then I would try and get a newer camera. If you're working with more static or predictable subjects, then the RP will do great.

i agree with the other person that this would be a great upgrade. however the bigger question would be what does the t2i NOT do for you that you feel like you need an upgrade for? and then a secondary question is what lenses out of your 4 do you use the most. if you use the 50 1.8 then the RP would be great. however if you use the 17-55 for example i'd go for an r10, that 17-55 wouldn't work well on the RP because of the sensor size.

The things I most notice my T2i falling short in is in dynamic range, speed/brightness indoors, and autofocus.

The RP is known to really fall short in terms of dynamic range, but it's still a cut above your T2i, so from that standpoint you'll still enjoy the upgrade. As for low-light performance the RP also does pretty well but at the expense shooting at extremely high ISO's for usable images. Some of its video shortcomings are also well known, but not relevant if you're a still shooter. All in all this deal is al about bang-for buck and it really delivers on that front.

Full frame sensor for $600 is pretty insane.

When you use the EF-S lenses, this camera resolution is only 10MP

the RP would do really well compared to the t2i. you'll be able to shoot at ISO 6400/12800 easily. the autofocus is SOOOO much better. and the dynamic range will also be better. the important thing here is to compare it to what you do have and not what you don't!

The quicker they can EOL the RP, the quicker the R8 will drop in price.

BF prices last year
RP was $550
R8 was $999

Sony and Canon are keeping their entry level FF cameras in production for way too long.

I have A7ii, purchased new in 2016 still being sold today!

I have a t7i and been wanting to get into the r body for a while. I can't decide feom the r8 or r7 as I'm not able to afford the 6 and down yet.

I currently own 24-70mm 2.8 ii and 100 macro 2.8. I'm trying to get the 70-200 2.8 ii eventually. I could care less for video. What would you recommend?
