But while the EOS RP might not be the world's greatest video camera, there are plenty of redeeming features when you're shooting stills. Those great-quality images are the headliner, but its performance, its autofocus accuracy, and the breadth of lenses already available for the platform all make it...

Solid build quality; Strong stills performance; Great autofocus

Falls behind on video features

The EOS RP is Canon's smallest, lightest and most affordable full-frame camera so far. In many ways, it's like a mirrorless version of Canon's 6D Mark II DSLR. That camera proved popular with amateur snappers looking to step up from an APS-C camera to full-frame shooting without needing to...

Shoots excellent JPEGs; Works well with EF lenses via bundled adaptor; Small and light for a full-frame camera; Very easy to use

Feels a little unbalanced with larger lenses; Doesn't have in-body image stabilisation; Average battery life

A strong full-frame upgrade for those with older Canon DSLRs or a collections of EF lenses, but the EOS RP's older sensor and 4K video limitations mean those starting from scratch should consider an older rival like the Sony A7 II or an APS-C alternative like the Fujifilm X-T3.

The Canon EOS RP's specifications aren't exactly exciting, but don't let that fool you - it's a likable little camera with engaging controls, good build quality and it produces excellent JPEGs. Of course, the Raw files are noisier and aren't as malleable as some more contemporary full-frame cameras, but for the target audience, that won't likely be a deal breaker. For those users looking for a friendly way to get into full-frame imaging, the EOS RP is an excellent option.

Newer users getting into full-frame for the first time, existing Canon users looking for a second camera body, anyone looking for a travel-friendly full-frame camera for casual use.;

Those looking to shoot high quality video, power users who want the most out of their Raw files, and those who routinely shoot fast action and need faster burst speeds.;

The second album is always tricky, but while the EOS R may have featured a few experimental tracks, the Canon EOS RP is a little more traditional Canon in some respects. It’s also one of the smallest, lightest full-frame cameras available and, more significantly for some, it has the lowest launch...

The Canon EOS RP is Canon's entry level full-frame mirrorless camera, joining the EOS R , the EOS RP offers a 26.2mp full-frame sensor. The camera body is weather-sealed, and comes with a 2.36million dot electronic viewfinder (EVF), and a 3inch touch-screen with 1million dot resolution.

Excellent image quality; Good noise performance; 4K video recording; Great price point; Relatively compact camera body

Short battery life (250 shots; Limited RF lenses; and high price for many; Most lenses larger than camera body; Silent shooting only accessible as a scene mode

The RP doesn't quite earn Editors' Choice marks, but it still gets a strong recommendation. Its form factor and price are big reasons. But you also can't discount the compatibility with Canon flashes and (with an adapter) SLR lenses, which matter to photographers invested in the Canon system.

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

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...

At the heart of the EOS RP is a big 26.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor, allowing wider field of view and light-gathering abilities. The model also delivers advance focus assist tools like touch-to-focus and eye tracking auto focus.
