The mirrorless Canon EOS RP comes from the same stable as the highly-acclaimed EOS R. Will it prove to be as much of a thoroughbred as the original?


Lighter and more portable

The EOS RP’s body weighs just 440g, so it's more than 20% lighter than the original EOS R. It's also noticeably smaller in size, making it a compact and highly portable model that feels great in your hand.


Full on, full frame sensor

The Canon-developed full frame CMOS sensor gives you full on image quality, certainly more impressive than APS-C or Micro Four Thirds sensors. Full frame sensors eliminate the crop factor caused by smaller sensors, so your wide-angle lenses can reach their full potential.


More ways to be creative

One of the biggest selling points of the EOS RP is the wide range of creative shooting modes, including extra automatic modes and built-in feature guides. Fully automatic, semi-automatic and manual shooting modes let you choose your level of control.


Reassuringly traditional

In amongst all that is new in the EOS RP is a traditional EOS mode dial, which makes it easier for many of us who are moving from a DSLR to a mirrorless camera system.


Just keep shooting

The EOS RP mirrorless camera, because of its compact and lightweight design, uses a smaller LPE17 battery. Don't be fooled into thinking this equals a lack of power; you still get 250 shots per charge when using the EVF.

Canon EOS RP Mirrorless Camera Body With EF Adapter EOSRPB-AD review

Canon EOS R8 Review: Budget Full Frame Power With Compromises

  • High Performance at a Low Price, Fantastic Low Light Images, Full Frame 4K60 Footage
Cons:
  • Cheap Construction, Lacking in Physical Controls, Overheats at Highest Video Settings

The Canon RP is good for landscape photography. Images are sharp and mostly free of noise, even when you step up its ISO setting to compensate for poor lighting conditions. It also feels quite sturdy and is comfortable to use, though it isn't as easy to carry around on a hike compared to a phone...
Pros:
  • Amazingly comfortable to use., Impressive autofocus performance., Excellent image quality., Fully-articulated screen is bright and can be seen under direct sunlight.

Canon EOS RP review: Full-frame mirrorless goes affordable

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.
Pros:
  • Great camera for the price
  • Solid AF and metering performance
  • Top noise control in high ISO
  • Touchscreen control
Cons:
  • Poor battery life
  • Cropped 4K capture
  • Smaller body and grip - some lenses aren't well balanced
  • Current lack of affordable lenses

Canon EOS RP

The RP doesn't quite earn Editors' Choice marks, but it still gets a strong recommendation. Its form factor and price are big reasons. But you also can't discount the compatibility with Canon flashes and (with an adapter) SLR lenses, which matter to photographers invested in the Canon system.
Pros:
  • Compact body with full-frame sensor
  • Vari-angle LCD
  • Integrated EVF
  • Quick, accurate autofocus
  • Macro stacking and time-lapse tools
  • Wi-Fi
  • Attractive price
Cons:
  • Small EVF
  • Low-cost native lenses not available yet
  • Inconsistent face and eye detection
  • 4K video suffers from heavy crop
  • Sensor shows limited dynamic range
  • Small battery
  • No built-in flash
