Canon seem to be gunning for those who want all the glitz and glamour of a full-frame mirrorless camera on a budget. We’re impressed that by making very clever compromises from the EOS R, this little rock star packs a hell of a punch with clever software tricks, an incredible user interface so that really anyone can pick it up and work out what to do. Where a camera of this spec might’ve intimidated a newbie, the minimal design, excellent touch screen, WiFi and Bluetooth compatibility, it’s no longer something reserved for camera boffins. For the accessibility and affordability, we're sold.

Compact and relatively light for full frame; Affordable; Brilliant Autofocus; Effective touchscreen;

Only crop 4k video; Battery life could be better; No sensor-based image stabilisation ;

A strong full-frame upgrade for those with older Canon DSLRs or a collections of EF lenses, but the EOS RP's older sensor and 4K video limitations mean those starting from scratch should consider an older rival like the Sony A7 II or an APS-C alternative like the Fujifilm X-T3.

Shoots excellent JPEGs; Works well with EF lenses via bundled adaptor; Small and light for a full-frame camera; Very easy to use;

Feels a little unbalanced with larger lenses; Doesn’t have in-body image stabilisation; Average battery life;

The Canon EOS RP's specifications aren't exactly exciting, but don't let that fool you - it's a likable little camera with engaging controls, good build quality and it produces excellent JPEGs. Of course, the Raw files are noisier and aren't as malleable as some more contemporary full-frame cameras, but for the target audience, that won't likely be a deal breaker. For those users looking for a friendly way to get into full-frame imaging, the EOS RP is an excellent option.

Newer users getting into full-frame for the first time, existing Canon users looking for a second camera body, anyone looking for a travel-friendly full-frame camera for casual use.;

Those looking to shoot high quality video, power users who want the most out of their Raw files, and those who routinely shoot fast action and need faster burst speeds.;

The RP is the step-down model to the EOS R, but we find the more affordable camera a better handler on account of its layout and size. However, limited battery life, some mis-balanced issues when using larger lenses, and 4K crop in video capture are all niggling issues.

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;

Get this camera if you want to join the ranks of full-frame mirrorless owners without breaking the bank.

Good image quality, Fully articulated touch-screen monitor, Easy to use, New Fv exposure mode, Compact and lightweight, 4K video, Competitively priced

Limited affordable RF native lenses, Slow continuous shooting speed, No built-in flash, Video limitations, Short battery life, No in-body stabilization

Great camera. Great price from Harvey, arrived with in two days. Excellent service.

Come on canon. Body do not have image stabilsation. Why hold back again? Users switch to sony A7ii onwards....we really want to come back to canon...but come on...

I was looking for an upgrade to my trusty 5D mkII and didn't want to reinvest in lenses. The EOS RP was the right fit for me and it was surprisingly affordable when paired with one of Canon's promotions (I had the bonus RF 35mm lens). The R was a bit too expensive given my 'casual' use-case. The EOS RP matches or beats the 5D mk II in every way. Given the 5DmkII was used by professionals/wedding photographers back in it's hey-day, you won't be lacking in 'capability' for good still photos. Awesome features I appreciate in the RP as an 'stills-only' upgrader: - Dual Pixel AF is amazing - no more focus hunting (or lack of focus lock) in low light. This thing can focus fast in barely lit rooms! (My biggest reason for upgrading - fear of missing shots of my newborn) - EVF is pretty handy -> What you see is what you get, so I'm not re-taking shots from my poor guesswork in scenes with subjects in front of bright backlighting. - Touch Screen makes navigating menus much nicer - als
