Overall, the Canon EOS RP is a great low-end foray into the full-frame mirrorless world. Don’t buy the EOS RP for its video capabilities. The 4K capture is limited to a heavy cropped shot, which makes planning your shot frustrating.

CANON EOS R VS EOS RP 1080P

Shooting options are limited to 4K at 24p and 1080p offers Dual Pixel AF but no 24p option. There’s no way that Canon is going to let a low to mid-range camera be an adequate video camera because it saves the great video features for its higher-end cameras, including its EOS Cinema product line. The camera also offers a pupil detection AF tracking option that works great, which makes focus acquisition on your portraits and even snapshots a cinch.Ĭanon has really let users down when it comes to capturing great video with its lower-end cameras. I am more likely to shoot with a fixed AF point of my choosing and the EOS RP makes it a quick and convenient to choose an active AF point.

It’s just the low light noise when you bump the ISO up that makes it rough. For the price and target audience, however, I think we are still getting a lot of bang-for-buck value out of the EOS RP. It relies on what appears to be the same full-frame sensor found in the 6D Mark II (a camera that I did not like). Overall image quality is good enough but not great. That said, if you want something to carry for lighter outings, then the RP could be a nice complement to your advanced kit. If you’re moving from something more advanced like a Canon 70D/80D or even the 5D/6D line, you probably want to look upstream at the EOS R.

CANON EOS R VS EOS RP UPGRADE

The EOS RP is a great first mirrorless camera or an upgrade from an entry-level DSLR. My primary use of the EOS RP was as a prosumer, shooting family and friends along with the occasional attempt to “be a photographer.” I think more demanding photographers will find it lacking and too basic. Although, now that the new kit is out, the combo that puts the EOS RP with the new RF 24-240mm lens together for $1999 (current sale price) looks pretty sweet. You get a lot of camera kit in the $1700 range (the current sale price). It has responsive AF and built-in image stabilization.

The EF 24-105mm lens is a solid kit lens for this relatively inexpensive body. Prospective users looking to upgrade from an older EOS DSLR should not be concerned about a performance drop-off when using their bag of EF glass on a Canon EOS RP or other R-series camera bodies.

The function of Canon EF lenses with the Canon EOS R series is, perhaps, the most important “feature” in the new system as Canon moves toward a more compact camera line for most users. Other than the added length to the kit, the experience is seamless. When shooting with the EOS RP, I only used the kit that included the EF to RF adapter with Canon EF mount lenses (including Sigma lenses). When I reviewed the EOS R, I used a combination of RF lenses and EF lenses with the mount adapter. It feels like you’re shooting with a Canon Rebel model. It’s significantly smaller than the Canon 80D and its ilk. Canon seems to have a solid power solution across its camera lines.Ĭanon EOS RP (left) compared to Canon EOS 80D (right) Battery life was never an issue for me though. The camera also uses the smaller LP-E17 found in recent Canon Rebel models, as opposed to the LP-E6 found in the EOS R and other Canon DSLRs. You’ll find the SD card slot tucked into the battery compartment instead of a dedicated chamber as found in the EOS RP. The touchscreen, as we’ve come to expect on Canon cameras, is fantastic.Ĭanon puts a lot of hardware into a small frame. The RP loses the awkward M-fn button/panel found on the EOS R. The controls make a lot of sense with everything within the reach of your thumb and forefinger.

At $1299, we’re pushing the entry-level definition however, in the land of $1200 smartphones, I think we can slide into the entry-level realm on a full-frame mirrorless camera. The feeling I get from using the Canon EOS RP is that it is an entry-level full-frame camera that gets out of your way when you are ready to move on.

In the shadow of the EOS R, we’re now looking at the more budget-friendly Canon EOS RP. While it’s not the perfect mirrorless camera, it is a great first outing for Canon. A few months back, I reviewed the Canon EOS R.
