I really wanted a great walk around still camera that my existing lenses fitted- Bingo! Easy to learn how to use - new Canon RAW files however need separate Adobe software to get them into lightroom and PS.

Canon's first attempt at a full-frame mirrorless camera was the EOS R . It was a solid effort that delivered good image quality and a premium experience, although the features that it offered didn't quite match its price tag in India, especially considering competition such as the Sony A7 III and...

Light and sturdy body; Good quality stills in daylight; Reliable autofocus system; Fully articulating LCD touchscreen; Decent battery life

Not well suited to 4K video shooting; Slow burst shooting; Current RF lenses makes the body heavy; A bit expensive

Canon will be selling the body of the Canon EOS RP at Rs 1,10,495 along with all taxes. The full kit with RF 24-105 f/4 lens will be priced at Rs 1,99,490. Canon claims that EOS RP is its "lightest and smallest full-frame mirrorless camera.

Canon's second full-frame mirrorless camera, the budget EOS RP, is a disappointment. It has potential as a street photography camera thanks to the small size, but is hampered by an inflexible silent-shooting mode.

While its competitors are going to great pains to create increasingly advanced – and increasingly expensive – high end full-frame mirrorless cameras, Canon is catering to crop sensor consumers who are looking for a full-frame option that won't break their back or their bank balance.

Svelte; lightweight body; Fully articulating screen; 4K video; Aggressively priced

Body feels small for big RF lenses; Loses the R's sensor shutter; 1.6x crop + no Dual Pixel AF in 4K; Miserly battery life

A few months back, I reviewed the Canon EOS R . While it's not the perfect mirrorless camera, it is a great first outing for Canon. In the shadow of the EOS R, we're now looking at the more budget-friendly Canon EOS RP .

The Canon EOS RP is Canon's entry level full-frame mirrorless camera, joining the EOS R , the EOS RP offers a 26.2mp full-frame sensor. The camera body is weather-sealed, and comes with a 2.36million dot electronic viewfinder (EVF), and a 3inch touch-screen with 1million dot resolution.

Excellent image quality; Good noise performance; 4K video recording; Great price point; Relatively compact camera body

Short battery life (250 shots; Limited RF lenses; and high price for many; Most lenses larger than camera body; Silent shooting only accessible as a scene mode

The Canon EOS RP is the second full-frame mirrorless camera launched by the veteran camera company. While the EOS R was met with a lukewarm reception, the EOS RP aims to aggressively target sales of other brands by providing it a very attractive price.

Good price; Small and light (for full-frame; Adaptor bundled for your older lenses

Small body can feel unbalanced; 4K video limitations; No weather-sealing

There's little doubt that the future of Canon's advanced amateur and pro market lies in the R series, and the RP offers an affordable route into the system. Much as the EOS 300D – Canon's first sub-£1000 DSLR – was for the EOS range in 2003.

Great camera for the price; Solid AF and metering performance; Top noise control in high ISO; Touchscreen control

Poor battery life; Cropped 4K capture; Smaller body and grip - some lenses aren't well balanced; Current lack of affordable lenses

The Canon EOS RP is a good upgrade for those within the Canon ecosystem as well as those looking to pick up their first full frame or mirrorless camera. It is versatile, but not intimidating. It is compact, but not underwhelming.
