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
With the full-frame digital camera market steadily expanding beyond the professional realm, camera manufacturers see an opportunity to showcase the benefits of having a full-frame body to pretty much everyone, from enthusiasts and bloggers/influencers to stay-at-home moms and dads.
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!
It was over 70 degrees in New Orleans by the time I ate breakfast. It would crest 80 before lunch. Having left Oregon's below-freezing temperatures (and a dusting of evanescent snow) the day before, it may as well have been 100 - not the type of weather in which I want to lug around a bunch of...
Very good price; Compact; lightweight; Excellent autofocus and metering; Good high ISO image quality; Fully articulating touchscreen
Some purposefully truncated features; Limited customization options; Video modes lack refinement
The Canon EOS RP is an entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera with 26 Megapixels, an electronic viewfinder, fully-articulated touchscreen and cropped 4k video. Pitched at a lower-level than the EOS R, it's Canon's most affordable, not to mention lightest, full-frame body to date.
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

No Sensor shift Image Stabilization, Low Battery Life: 250 shots, 1.60x crop on 4K Videos
Alas, we aren't being treated to Canon's high end EOS R camera, but with the Canon EOS RP we're getting a pretty interesting candidate in the mix. The Canon EOS RP is being aggressively priced at $1,299 and has the same sensor at the heart of the Canon 6D Mk II.
It's light enough to not be a burden and with razor sharp autofocus and top image quality it's what we've been waiting for from Canon
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
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.
