The new Canon EOS RP is a full frame camera that shoots 4k and has a fully articulating screen and it’s only $1300. It does have its flaws, but for that money, its a great buy. We got our hands on the camera before the announcement and put it through the paces to evaluate it for you!

As I said in the Canon EOS R review, we are looking at the future and I like what I see. With its ultra-low cost, the EOS RP brings the future to a huge audience.

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 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.

No Sensor shift Image Stabilization, Low Battery Life: 250 shots, 1.60x crop on 4K Videos

So far, I think the Canon EOS RP is a pretty darned great buy. But it’s also very entry level–a bit too much so for me. Stay tuned for a more full a thorough review.

It's light enough to not be a burden and with razor sharp autofocus and top image quality it's what we've been waiting for from Canon

Compact and relatively light for full frame; Affordable; Brilliant Autofocus; Effective touchscreen

Only crop 4k video; Battery life could be better; No sensor-based image stabilisation

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.

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

The new Canon EOS RP certainly isn't the best full-frame mirrorless camera in terms of features, performance or image quality, but it is crucially the cheapest, and it offers more than enough to justify its modest asking price.
