Intro $(document). ready(function() { SampleGalleryStripV2({"galleryId":"7544546131","isMobile":false}) }) 83%Overall scoreJump to conclusion The Canon EOS RP is among the smallest and lightest full-frame cameras on the market, and is the least expensive full-frame camera at launch, ever.
And though its specifications aren't going to set the world on fire, the RP is a likable little camera with solid JPEG image quality that will be a fine photographic companion for casual users and those already within the Canon ecosystem looking for a compact second body.
Key specifications:
26. 2MP Dual Pixel CMOS sensor
4K/24p (from 1. 7x crop region)
4 fps continuous shooting with continuous AF (5 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-only) is priced within $75 of the original 6MP Canon Digital Rebel / EOS 300D that was released back in 2003 - a camera that really helped bring large-sensor digital photography to the masses. And like the Digital Rebel, the EOS RP promises to offer a bit of a stripped-down shooting experience in exchange for its large full-frame image sensor at a reasonable cost. It's worth noting, however, that the earlier Rebel debuted with a range of relatively low-cost lenses designed for it - not so much the case today.
While other manufacturers are moving ever further up-market with more expensive and capable devices, the EOS RP stands alone in providing more novice or budget-constrained users with access to the shallower depth-of-field that full frame cameras offer over those with APS-C or smaller sensors. There are caveats, though, in that the RP is a poor choice for those looking to shoot video, and the native lens selection is lacking at this time.
The EOS RP is available now at a price of $1299 body-only, $1999 with the EF adapter and a 24-105mm F3. 5-5. 6 lens, and $2399 with the native RF 24-105mm F4L lens.
What's new and how it compares
The EOS RP has a lot of ingredients we've seen in other Canon cameras before, but certainly not at this price point.
