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.

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.
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.

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...
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
I'm amazed at the Canon EOS RP, fantastic equipment.
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

Last year Canon launched its brand new EOS R system in South Africa, the company’s first full-frame mirrorless camera. Shortly after the flagship EOS R was launched, its newer, lighter sibling emerged in the form of the EOS RP.
It's a bold, yet factual statement: testing the more affordable Canon EOS RP is getting a first-hand look at the future of Canon cameras. While not the flagship mirrorless (that distinction belongs to the Canon EOS R), it's still a big move forward for the famed camera maker.
As I said in the Canon EOS R review, we are looking at the future and I like what I see. With its ultra-low cost, the EOS RP brings the future to a huge audience.
