Canon EOS RP Mirrorless Camera

The Canon EOS RP Mirrorless Camera was, at its release, the lightest and most compact full-frame EOS camera Canon had produced, offering a practical step up to full-frame image quality for photographers who want the RF-mount system in a genuinely portable body.

At the core of the EOS RP is a 26.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor (35.9 x 24.0mm) paired with Canon’s DIGIC 8 processor, offering a native ISO range of 100-40,000, expandable to 50-102,400. Autofocus uses Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF system with 4,779 manually selectable focus points, covering approximately 88% horizontal and 100% vertical of the frame, with an AF working range of EV -5 to 18, along with One-Shot and Servo AF modes and touch-and-drag AF operation via the rear touchscreen. Continuous shooting reaches up to 5fps.

The mechanical shutter offers speeds from 30 seconds to 1/4000 second plus Bulb mode, with exposure control spanning Program, Aperture-Priority, Shutter-Priority, Manual, and Scene modes, along with Center-weighted, Multi-Pattern Evaluative, Partial, and Spot metering. Video capability includes UHD 4K recording at up to 25fps (with a notable 1.6x crop) along with Full HD recording at up to 60fps, saved with stereo sound. Flash support includes E-TTL II Auto Flash and Metered Manual modes via the hot shoe, with a 1/180 second X-sync speed, flash exposure compensation, bracketing, and lock, though the camera has no built-in flash.

Handling centers on a 0.39-inch OLED color electronic viewfinder (2.36 million dots, 0.7x magnification) along with a 3.0-inch, fully articulating Clear View LCD II touchscreen (1.04 million dots). Notably, the EOS RP does not include in-body image stabilization, relying on lens-based stabilization in compatible RF or adapted EF lenses.

Build quality uses a composite body measuring approximately 132.5 x 85.0 x 70.0mm and weighing approximately 440g (body only) or 485g with battery and card, rated for operation in temperatures from 0-40°C at 85% humidity or less. The camera stores images on SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-II and UHS-I compatible) memory cards, connects via USB-C and a Canon E3 (2.5mm sub-mini) remote input, and includes built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless image transfer and remote camera control. Battery life is rated at approximately 250 shots per charge (CIPA, LCD). The EOS RP uses Canon’s RF lens mount, giving it access to Canon’s native RF lenses, along with EF and EF-S lenses via mount adapters (EF-M lenses are not compatible).
