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.
Outdoor & Adventure — OM-5 (2022): The toughest camera at this price — IP53 weather sealing and 7.5-stop IBIS built for adventure photographers.
