Intro

The Canon EOS RP is among the smallest and lightest full-frame cameras on the market, and is the to the lowest degree expensive total-frame camera at launch, e'er. And though its specifications aren't going to ready the earth on fire, the RP is a likable little camera with solid JPEG epitome quality that will be a fine photographic companion for casual users and those already inside the Catechism ecosystem looking for a compact 2nd body.

Fundamental specifications:

  • 26.2MP Dual Pixel CMOS sensor
  • 4K/24p (from i.7x crop region)
  • 4 fps continuous shooting with continuous AF (v without)
  • Pupil detection AF in continous/Servo AF mode
  • AF rated to -5EV (with an F1.2 lens)
  • Digic 8 processor
  • 2.36M dot OLED viewfinder
  • Fully-articulated 1.04M dot touchscreen
  • Twin command dials
  • CIPA rated to 250 shots per charge

Accounting for inflation, the EOS RP (body-but) is priced within $75 of the original 6MP Canon Digital Rebel / EOS 300D that was released back in 2003 - a photographic camera that really helped bring large-sensor digital photography to the masses. And like the Digital Rebel, the EOS RP promises to offering a bit of a stripped-downward shooting experience in substitution for its large full-frame image sensor at a reasonable cost. It's worth noting, still, that the earlier Rebel debuted with a range of relatively low-price lenses designed for it - non so much the case today.

While other manufacturers are moving ever farther up-market with more expensive and capable devices, the EOS RP stands alone in providing more than novice or budget-constrained users with access to the shallower depth-of-field that full frame cameras offering over those with APS-C or smaller sensors. At that place are caveats, though, in that the RP is a poor option for those looking to shoot video, and the native lens selection is defective at this fourth dimension.

The EOS RP is available now at a cost of $1299 body-only, $1999 with the EF adapter and a 24-105mm F3.five-5.6 lens, and $2399 with the native RF 24-105mm F4L lens.


What's new and how information technology compares

The EOS RP has a lot of ingredients nosotros've seen in other Canon cameras before, just certainly non at this cost point.
