Canon EOS RP Full-frame Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera + RF24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM Lens Kit


  Register the product and go to the Canon website and download the camera body manual (EOS-RP) and the lens manual (RF24-240)  and study them.   BTW when registering, the lens is the control ring lens of the RF series which is not apparent in the manual that comes with the camera.   The camera appears to be amazing from a strictly amateur viewpoint.  It is well beyond my last digital camera which was decent by 2012 standards.   I sold all my camera stuff when my cellular phone camera got so good.   However as good as the cell phone cameras are they can't hold a candle to this baby.   I found my self regretting my lack of a true optical zoom when trying to photo grand kids at concerts and sporting events.   The grainy aspect of the cell phone cameras at long distance just didn't cut it.   This camera provides a clarity I have not seen since my long lens film days.   I have not had it long enough to rate the battery life.   I am quite impressed with the camera and despite some professionals panning it as not great, for an amateur it is awesome.   It doesn't come with an SD card, I discovered that the micros SD cards are cheaper and come with an adapter that lets you use it in the camera instead of the SD.  Maybe obvious but hey save a couple bucks here and there it mounts up. Check out the bargain one I found below.


  But don't depend on the manual that came in the box, go to the website and get the manuals for both the camera body and the lens.   You will be  happy you did and have fun photoing the gKids.

Here is a Link to Canon Canada's help on getting wireless set up.   Nothing in the manual really adequately addressed it.

If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
