Which should you buy?
Entry Full-Frame Stills Photography — EOS RP (2019): An affordable gateway into the RF system. The RP makes sense as a stepping stone camera — if you're committed to Canon RF glass, this is the cheapest full-frame body to buy those lenses for. Just manage expectations on video and battery life.
Street, Documentary & Rangefinder Enthusiasts — Fujifilm X-Pro3 (2019): The most opinionated camera Fujifilm makes — a hidden screen and hybrid OVF enforce deliberate photography, rewarding photographers who slow down.
Sports, Travel & Dslr Shooters — Nikon D7500 (2017): The D500's BSI sensor in a compact, weather-sealed body — excellent high-ISO performance and DSLR reliability at a great price.

EOS RP (2019)
- Canon users who want to start investing in RF glass affordably
