I’ll answer myself here, just in case anybody is interested (but I do have history of writing posts that nobody’s ever gonna read → e.g. my obscure blog hidden in an amazon s3 server somewhere that even I can’t remember the full address …)
I did buy the EOS RP in the end and I couldn’t be happier. I had a shitty deal selling the Fuji with the three lenses I had (not a shrewd businessman here) but alright then, I’m happy now with this second hand RP (bought for €790) and the RF50mm 1.8 (new for €230).
As I said in another post recently:
Anyway, the first impression is really good; the sensor may be “old” but it’s excellent in all terms – as perhaps all the sensor made in the last few years; I never had any issue with the D600 sensor for example, and I certainly didn’t experience a massive jump in terms of quality when I replaced it with the D810. The low dynamic range that all reviewers were stressing? I don’t know what’s the problem really – perhaps they should start metering with more care?
[…] I’m using ART and I’m seeing wonderful colors and excellent quality with minimal processing […] my original plan was to get the 24-230mm knowing full well about distortion and generally ‘poor’ quality of this ultrazoom – but also knowing that to me, the camera-lens combination is a tool to “get the shot”; if I need top quality I will then use my D810 with better lenses. However after having shot a few times with the RP I’m really surprised by the results so I’m now questioning my original idea and consider getting instead the better 24-105 f/4 to have a bit more reach and flexibility.
