Canon EOS RP

Still Competitive – I bought mine used, but there are some interesting kit options new. Overall the camera feels very up to date. To get the most out of it there is a learning curve, but I don't think it's overwhelming if you really are interested. If you are not interested in learning photography I would look lower down in price in the APS C (R series if want the latest and the way it's trending). Phones can't do sports and wildlife/action well, and APS does that very well. Other makes exist but I do not have enough knowledge to properly contemplate them.

There are many reviews out there, and I am just a hobbyist re-entering serious cameras.

Its main downside online is its lack of DR (dynamic range). It's something to be looked at BUT if you are not looking to spend time editing post-camera picture taking I would not get too distracted by it. Any wedding photographer was happy with less not too many years ago. Nonetheless, if you are a mid-afternoon white street with narrow dark alleyways person, and you want as much as possible to be contemplated (not blown out or underexposed) better options exist for sure. However, its bracketing options (common thing) allow good making-up grounds. Top trump types may also forget that this camera does really well at maintaning it's DR higher up the ISO than some measuring more in the headlines. It's really quite a nice performer for nonextreme anything and better across the board than many might first assume.

It's big enough to allow enough buttons (usage cases) to be easily accessible. If you are a keen guardian looking at your kid playing sport I doubt more is needed (been there and done it with less).

It's a full frame camera. Really great glass (lenses) are big, heavy and amazingly expensive. This camera lends towards wide and shallow easily, but can do the lot. I encourage anyone to remember APS C is also more capable of this than many might say.

If I were buying new I would probably go APS C, unless I really new what I wanted. If I were leaping toward FF I would probably veer the R8 if buying new, but this camera is still very good and if it came with a lens I really wanted I would look hard at it after understanding its nuances.

I can say I find the Canon editing software that Canon users get to be excellent. Serious photographers can debate more, but for free it's also as much as most will ever care about, IMO.

This is a very good camera. Checked against your usage case scenario and more study it might be right.
