¿ Que aportan las infos que ha publicado ahora el bueno de Ken Rockwell y por qué os doy la paliza con ello ?
Pues en su estilo habitual aporta una imágenes monstruosas de los productos que incluso permiten ver las bacterias que tienen encima y os doy la paliza con ello porque igual esos detalles un tanto morbosillos «os ponen».
En contra de mis costumbres empezaré por los enlaces, que tienen su aquello, y su aquello es lo que he puesto al lado entre paréntesis:
- Canon EOS RP Hands-On Review (una breve toma de contacto con alguna muestra)
- Canon EOS RP User’s Guide (no es el PDF, son las características comentadas)
- Canon EOS RP vs EOS R (comparación de tamaños y especificaciones – está bien)
- Canon RF 15-30mm f/2.8L IS USM
- Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM.
- Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM.
- Canon RF 24-240mm IS USM.
- Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM.
- Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS.
Eso si, no resisto la tentación de acabar sin poneros aquí los apartados clásicos de los análisis del bueno de Ken, son: «lo nuevo, lo bueno, lo malo y lo que se echa en falta». Por la cantidad de «buenos» que hay esta claro que aquí no ha habido un intercambio de maletines, ha habido una lluvia de maletines.
New since EOS R
- Faster start-up time, now rated 820ms (down from 900mS in the EOS R).
- New focus-bracketing-stacking-compositing mode works with Canon’s free Digital Photo Professional software to make infinite depth-of-field easy. This is extremely helpful for macro product shots or anything else that holds still and needs limitless of depth-of-field.
- Dedicated mode dial with C1, C2 and C3 positions and a second dedicated rear control dial. Gone is the silly combined mode button and dial fiasco of the EOS-R. The EOS RP loses the EOS R‘s weird rear touch-bar and top LCD to make room for this.
- Silent electronic shutter mode is now limited in function because it’s only part of a preset Scene mode. No worries, regular shutter is also very quiet.
- Wake-up speeds seems a little faster than the EOS R, but it could be my imagination.
- LOCK lever for the command dials replaces the LOCK button on the EOS R.
- Smaller battery to save size and weight, but has less battery life per charge than the EOS R.
- Can’t limit the range of selectable shutter and aperture values as we can on the EOS R. So?
- New EG-E1 grips add just enough height for your pinky. They come in three colors:
- EOS RP and EG-E1 grip in red, black and blue. bigger.
Good:
- Brilliantly sharp finder shows exactly how the pictures will turn out, before you take them.
- New finder also plays-back, zooms and shows menus.
- Finder even shows live automatic distortion correction! What you’re seeing is exactly what you’ll get in your finished images.
- EVF/LCD automatic eye control works perfectly; the display you want is always on when you want it on.
- Data displays can rotate for vertical shots.
- Live in-finder RGB histograms let you precisely judge exposure before you press the shutter. This is especially helpful with white areas and boldly saturated colors with the crazy +4 saturation settings I use. Neither Sony nor Nikon nor Fuji can do this except in playback — when it’s too late.
- Focus distance optionally displayed (needs a native RF lens; adapted lenses won’t do this).
- Flipping touch screen can show the same or different things as the finder. I usually leave my rear LCD set as the Q screen.
Autofocus
- Excellent AF covers and tracks around the entire frame. Now we can autofocus all the way out to the corners!
- Right side of the touch screen replaces the thumb nubbin for selecting AF areas while looking though the finder. The screen allows far faster and more precise selection than the nubbin ever could.
- 4,779 AF points means we can always get one exactly where we need it.
- No AF Fine Tune needed because on-sensor AF detectors don’t have any of the mechanical alignment problems of DSLRs, whose sensors are coupled with mirrors to detectors in the bottom of a DSLR. EOS RP autofocus is always dead-on, even with adapted EF lenses, if you use it properly.
Lenses & Compatibility
- Works brilliantly with 100% of all EF and EF-S lenses on an adapter.
- EF lens autofocus on the adapter seems faster than on my EOS DSLRs, now covers the entire frame and nails accurate focus better than any of my DSLRs. EF lens exposure accuracy is also improved over what it was on DSLRs.
- Automatically corrects for falloff & distortion.
- Automatic corrections even work for most old EF lenses introduced since about 1992 when used on an adapter.
Power & Batteries
- Same tiny battery as many digital Rebels.
- Power saving display and ECO modes really do extend battery life and don’t seem to have any effect on performance, bravo!
Shutter
- It’s easy to program the EOS RP to make precisely timed exposures of any length up to 100 hours, without needing any remote release cord!
- Silent electronic shutter.
- Even the regular mechanical shutter is pretty quiet.
Mechanics
- Elegant dull titanium finish on outsides of lens mounts.
- New, more effective dirt gaskets designed as an integral part of the lenses and lens mount.
- Made in Japan.
Ergonomics
- New Fv exposure mode.
- Dedicated MODE dial with three programmable instant-recall presets (C1, C2 and C3).
- Feels great in hand with a comfortable curved design, not all straight edges like Sony.
- Easy-to-locate buttons by feel. Not only are the buttons themselves easy to feel, the curved design puts each button in a unique location so we know where they are without having to grope around as we do on Sony.
- Superior color-coded menu system, best in the industry, makes it easy to remember where to find things. We don’t have to look everywhere as we do with Sony.
Video
- Live 4K HDMI output.
- Built-in stereo mic and 3.5mm stereo mic & headphone jacks.
- Can shoot to card up to 480MB/s.
- 1/8-stop exposure increments for video shooting.
Etc, etc, etc, ………… (lo dicho, entregado a la causa)
- Standard i-TTL II flash system works with all our EX series flash.
- Wi-Fi.
- Bluetooth LE.
- Takes standard SD, SDHC or SDXC cards.
- App or wired remote-control.
- Electronic in-camera stabilization, but only for video.
Bad:
- Nothing, especially for half the price or less than most other full-frame mirrorless cameras! (lo dicho, entregadísimo a la causa)
Missing:
- No second card slot.
- No rear touch bar (I turn it off on my EOS R, good riddance).
- No battery percentage indicator; just a basic battery icon.
- No secondary shutter; sensor remains exposed with power off just like every camera from Sony, Nikon and Fuji.
- No thumb nubbin. While the touch screen is a huge improvement for selecting AF zones (especially during viewfinder shooting), the touch screen doesn’t work during viewfinder playback or viewfinder menu selection as I’d like (it always works when the LCD is lit, just not always when you’re looking in the finder).
- No sensor-shift stabilization, same as every Canon DSLR. IBIS was for other brands that haven’t mastered optical IS as Canon has. IBIS works poorly with very wide or very long lenses; in-lens optical IS works far better for these.
- No auto brightness control for rear LCD, but set it to its maximum manually and it’s bright enough to use in direct sunlight.
- No auto brightness control for electronic finder; you have to bump it up manually outdoors and knock it down manually at night for the best results.
- There’s a level, but oddly it goes away if Face Detection is on. See my User’s Guide for how I set my EOS RP to allow fast selection of AF area modes. Alternately, I use C1 for photos of things (level and no face detect) and C2 for people photos (face detect and no level).
- We can set the finder to magnify the selected AF point automatically anytime the manual focus ring is turned (even while in autofocus), but oddly no mirrorless camera has any way to make this automatic magnification stop so we can see to compose and shoot after manual focus override. It unmagnifies if we remove our finger from the shutter, but AF takes over again if we press the shutter to shoot. Of course instant manual focus override works perfectly if you don’t also ask it to magnify automatically or if you magnify manually (see my User’s Guide).
- SERVO and ONE-SHOT AF modes, but no AI FOCUS mode as in some other cameras which automatically selects between the other two modes.
- No localized histograms; when you zoom playback the histogram goes away.
- No GPS; use the Canon GP-E2 or the free app to tag images with GPS data.
- No built-in flash.
- No NFC.
