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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Manufacturer: Canon
I have a Canon Rebel t-5 that I really like then I bought myself the EOS RP love at first click. Pictures are so crisp and the camera is so easy to use.. Just one down side lens just for the RP are so few and expensive so I was really glad it came with the adapter to use the same lens as my rebel...
I'm amazed at the Canon EOS RP, fantastic equipment.
The $1,949 Canon RP is not the best camera made or even the slickest mirrorless camera. It will win no awards for dynamic range or colour rendition, and if you've got strong feelings about the number of megapixels available in post-production, it will leave you uninspired.
I am a long time Canon user and was looking for a lighter and more compact body than my 6D Mk2 to use for travel and as a back up. This camera fits the bill perfectly and this is now my primary camera and the 6D my backup.
Easy to use; Compact; Build quality
Battery life
This was my first full frame camera, as well as my first mirrorless camera. Coming from a Canon rebel camera, I immediately found a difference in usability and photo quality from my rebel 77D. I found it easier to get good results using the electronic viewfinder and excellent autofocus system.
The new Canon EOS RP is a full frame camera that shoots 4k and has a fully articulating screen and it's only $1300. It does have its flaws, but for that money, its a great buy. We got our hands on the camera before the announcement and put it through the paces to evaluate it for you!
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
