YMMV, But apparently if you have an older/out of warranty Canon camera, you can call them to order and provide them with the serial # from them and they'll give a 15% (?) discount on top of this. (866) 443-8002

With that said, I've gone through quite a number of canon DSLR's and Mirrorless cameras, and love the Eos RP. For $600 for a full-frame camera? that supports EF Lenses (with adapter)? It's awesome. You don't get the fancy stuff like the stabilization, but if you're shooting with video and want an upgrade to a DSLR (or just fullframe), this works great.
I shoot with primarily fast lenses -- f/1.2, f/1.4, etc.. and on a DSLR I would always need to use the liveview as the front/back focusing would put a shot out of focus. Liveview on a DSLR Is quite slow, whereas with the RP and other mirrorless, its very fast.
Works great for studio, events, low-light, concerts, and just about everything I've thrown at it. Would absolutely buy another one as the difference in price from something like this and the R5/R6 is still quite considerable.

EF lens have stabilization, does that work with adapter?

Yes - At least as long as you use one of the official Canon RF - EF Adapters (they make a few different ones -- a basic one, one with a "ring" to control additional features, and I believe one with drop-in filters). I don't know if the 3rd-party ones work, but at least the canon ones will take advantage of lens stabilization and autofocus.
Some newer R-Series cameras have in-body stabilization, so rather than needing stabilized lenses, it will try to stabilize the shot within the camera itself, and this is one of the features the R is missing.
I think I have 1 R-Series lens, the rest are all EF Lenses (Canon and Sigma) and all work great on the RP. The one complaint I have is that extra long or very heavy lenses (like the Sigma 105mm 1.4, which feels like 5 pounds) can feel front heavy on such a small body, and be tricky to maneuver. Other than that, I use regular heavy lenses (Sigma 14mm 1.8, Sigma 20mm 1.4, Sigma 24mm 1.4, Sigma 30mm 1.4, Sigma 50mm 1.4, Sigma 85mm 1.4) without any issues! The few stabilized ones I have also work great on it.
I bought this brand new for $1100 as my first camera and have no regrets. This is my second camera that really got me into photography due to the results. If you're looking to get into photography I would say this is the best budget camera you can get especially since it's full frame and mirrorless which is the future of photography. Canon along with most manufacturers has stopped releasing lenses for DSLR cameras (still making them) and only engineers/releases new mirrorless lenses.
