Canon EOS RP

Great handling ; Good autofocus performance ; Nice eye-tracking system ; Excellent low-light performance

4K video hobbled by cropping and mediocre AF ; Poor dynamic range ; No in-body stabilization ; Crippled silent shooting mode

If I was shopping for a camera in that budget range, I'd be seriously tempted by Fujifilm's $1,499 X-T3, even though it's an APS-C and not a full-frame mirrorless model. It has a better feature set across the board, with faster shooting speeds and much...

Good price ; Small and light (for full-frame) ; Adaptor bundled for your older lenses

Small body can feel unbalanced ; 4K video limitations ; No weather-sealing

Compact body with full-frame sensor. Vari-angle LCD. Integrated EVF. Quick, accurate autofocus. Macro stacking and time-lapse tools. Wi-Fi. Attractive price.

Small EVF. Low-cost native lenses not available yet. Inconsistent face and eye detection. 4K video suffers from heavy crop. Sensor shows limited dynamic range. Small battery. No built-in flash.

Bottom Line: Canon wants to bring full-frame photography to the masses with the affordable EOS RP. It's a solid camera for the price, but Canon needs to release more low-cost RF-mount lenses to pair with it.

Compact and light body ; Very good value for money ; Generous buffer - better than quoted ; Very good AF performance ; Responsive touchscreen

Limited native lens selection ; Rolling shutter and crop in 4K video ; Slightly sensitive metering system ; No sensor-based image stabilization ; Underwhelming battery life ; Silent shooting very limited

Arguably a much more compelling proposition for those looking to move to full-frame mirrorless shooting than the EOS R, the EOS RP is blessed with a good build, great image quality, sound autofocus performance and many further pleasures. The sheen is...

Familiar control layout ; Lightweight body ; Dual Pixel CMOS AF ; Touchscreen interface

Cropped 4K video ; Slow burst shooting ; Modest battery life ; Limited RF lens support

While it's a shame there's no RF lens that really complements the EOS RP at the moment, at just $1299/£1,399/AU$2,149 body-only (with a bundled EF-EOS R mount adapter), it's certainly one of the most affordable full-frame cameras going.

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

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...
