Canon RP Ultimate Review - Tech Gear Talk
September 25, 2019 - For video, it’s great to be able to sit down, make sure I’m framed well and I have the proper exposure and then start and stop recording. I also want to talk about some additional features that the RP has that may help you make a buying decision. I’m going to start out with one of my favorites which is in-body timelapse. This is something that I absolutely love and use all the time in the Canon cameras that offer it. Just like the EOS R, we have in-body time lapse in both Full HD (1080) pand 4k which I absolutely love.

best use of Canon RP for video
A few things to note: The dummy battery might be useful, since it will address the relatively short battery life. The USB cable will not be useful, as the webcam software is limited to under 720p. You're out of luck for 4k60. The RP maxes out at 4k24 That 4k24 is significantly cropped, and doesn't allow you to use dual-pixel AF. That last part won't really matter if you're shooting in a stationary location, but might cause issues with a moving camera. The RP can't record videos longer than 29:59, so if their set is longer, you'll need to stop recording and start a new recording at some point. Recording externally with a monitor bypasses this, but I'm guessing you don't have one, since you mostly shoot stills. More on reddit.com

Canon Eos RP - Anyone have opinions?

Great 1080p, full frame look and depth of field. Great auto focus.

If you NEED 4k (and no one in youtube ever needed that) them it is not for you.

But for the price it is pretty damn Great. Very hard to beat it for value.

Does it has limitations? Sure, but any camera in that price point will have them.

Canon EOS RP hands-on review: Full-frame for $1,300 - Videomaker
June 9, 2020 - It’s has a single SD card slot and a 29:59 record limit, but it has separate headphone and mic jack. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? Many are going to be tempted with the price tag, but is the camera good enough for video shooters?

r/canon on Reddit: best use of Canon RP for video
July 25, 2022 -

Hey all

my friend wants me to record a concert, I've got a Canon RP. I almost exclusively use it for photos so I need advice on the best use for it.

Do I need the webcam kit? (plug in battery, USB cable?)

Should I just run it raw w/o anything plugged into it and hope for the best?

I definitely want at least 4k/30 (edited from 60 my bad). My memory card says it can do over 2 hours on it (it's a big one) so I should be good there, right?

Im' running it right now for a 15 minute test to see battery drain/quality/etc.

Thanks in advance for your tips.

I think quantum has some good things to consider. I would also try and think about what kind of thing(s) your friend is expecting. What are your audio needs? Because if they are expecting you to record audio, then you'll need a better mic than the one that is in-camera: Rodevideo Mic Go II ($100) is my favorite, but the micro version ($50) is also good. I'd also make sure you know what the venue is like? Is it a coffeehouse? where they will be stationary or is it more of a sound stage, where they can move on the stage. Do you think that you're going to have to move a lot in-between songs. If you are going to be moving, I would look at some techniques on YouTube to help stabilize the footage. If your friend has a set-list, that might help manage your 30min time limit (help you decide which songs to start/stop. I would not just record up until you hit 30min!.. in between songs so there's no break). You mentioned using your camera mostly for photos... I imagine your friend would want pictures too?? Having a set-list will help determine which songs to record video, which ones to take pictures for (maybe your friend has a preference) Lastly, you also have to think about what is going to happen post-event. How do you plan on editing the video afterwards? If you don't have a dedicated software, I strongly suggest using DaVinci. What device are you planning on editing on? Laptop or dedicated PC? You mentioned wanting to do 4k/30... I know that is what everyone likes to shoot in... BUT if you don't have a computer that can handle that kind of video footage, the post processing can be painful!! I'd suggest just using 1080 until you get some experience with your workflow. I've never used the RP, but I believe 1080 also has the added benefit that there is no crop...

July 17, 2022 - There are often numerous limitations to include a maximum of 30 mins recording time for continuous clips.

Solved: Recording to external recorder with EOS R - Canon Community
June 8, 2020 - Hey there I may have missed this but I have the Ninja Inferno - you need to press record on the Atomos, not on the camera if you want to bypass the internal card. Also set your camera power saving to not go to sleep, extend to 30 mins for example. My EOS R was going to sleep as it wasn't recording internally.

The 4k on the RP has no usable autofocus, if you need AF: stick to 1080p.

It's a bit frustrating for video.

In default 1080p has great dual pixel AF, EIS and zero crop. It's really easy to shoot video in 1080p mode. But it looks kind of soft. 1080p Video from my older Panasonic m4/3 cams looks noticeably sharper. Even with sharp primes or L lenses.

4K mode video looks really nice and sharp. MUCH better than 1080p. But it has a massive 1.7x crop. So the widest you can get from that 24-105 in 4K mode is about 40mm equivalent. Forget shooting indoors with that crop. Many people end up buying EF-S lenses like 10-18 or 18-55 as a cheap way to get around the crop factor.

And to make it even worse, the dual pixel AF doesn't work in 4K mode. So you pretty much have to manual focus. Also, 4K is only possible in the specific video mode on the dial. The quick access video record button only does 1080p.

For the price, there are a lot of better options if video is a priority. Most similarly priced crop cameras will do better video quality. Possibly even some 1" compacts.

Gordon Laing posted some video samples in 4K and 1080p. You can see how much softer the 1080p is as well as how huge the difference in crop factor is.
