Canon RP Ultimate Review - Tech Gear Talk
September 25, 2019 - Alright so to recap, the RP is a great entry-level full frame sensor mirrorless camera from Canon. If you’re looking to get into this space but want to do it with a smaller and less expensive body than the EOS R, you should give this camera a look.

Canon EOS RP Review - DustinAbbott.net
September 12, 2025 - I used the 5D Mark IV as a benchmark for the EOS RP, as I have compared the 5DIV to a LOT of cameras since its release, including: Nikon D850, Sony a7RII, Sony a7RIII, Sony a7III, Sony a6400/a6500, Fuji X-T3, Canon EOS 6D, Canon EOS 6DII, and the Canon EOS SL2. That’s ten different cameras, so I have a pretty good idea of where it stands in relation to what’s on the market. The best way to see those conclusions is by watching the following episode where I break down the strengths and weaknesses. It is in the area of ISO performance that the EOS RP’s sensor holds up best to competitors. The strongest camera that I’ve reviewed at high ISO values is the Sony a73, and, while the EOS RP won’t threaten that camera, high ISO performance is actually an area of strength.

Hi all For those of you who use the eos RP, could you share me the real life using pros and cons of it? And which lens would you recommand with it? Thanks 🙏🏼

Love mine! Been using it since it came out. But it really depends on your usage and needs. It’s not the fastest at autofocus, but for the biggest drawback is the slow burst speed - it peaks out around 4 shots per second as far as I know which means you may not capture something at just the right moment if you’re going ham on the burst photos. But otherwise, 10/10 recommend if you can get it for a good deal. Pretty darn good sensor, decent low light performance. The newer mirrorless cameras will blow it out of the water but I haven’t felt the need to upgrade yet. I highly recommend at least a RF 50mm f1.8 lens - use it a lot with mine. But others can speak to other lens recommendations! I believe the R8 is a new update to the RP which will have many quality of life improvements, so you may want to look into that. I wouldn’t pay full price for a new RP at this point, but a good used one for a good price, definitely worth it IMO.

Pro: Cheap as fuck for what you are getting. Great image quality. A boss in lowlight. Con: Slow as fuck, both fps and auto focus. Lacking newer AF features like Animal AF. Not great for video. And that's pretty much it. If you are shooting action, wildlife in movement or video, don't get, go with an R8 or R6. If you aren't it's a great option though. It is much cheaper than the alternatives and I would personally take an RP with a good lens over an R8 with the cheapest lens, if you don't absolutely need the speed of the R8. As long as you are working withing the RP's limitations it'll provide as good image quality as you could want if you pair it with good glass. Lenses: My favourite walk around is the 35mm F1.8 If you want to dapple a bit in wildlife (knowing you wont shoot fast moving birds) the 100-400RF is an awesome budget lens. It even gets you somewhat close to macro. If you want proper macro lenses, get Laowa lenses. Speaking of Laowa, it's quite niche, but I do widefield astro, and the Laowa 15mm F2 is great for that.

Canon EOS RP Mirrorless Camera Review - Learn Photography
October 7, 2025 - After using the the EOS RP for a couple years I’m sure it is a solidly made camera. Looking closely at it I can see that it has been made to take a little more abuse than some customers might expect given the price point and weight.

r/canon on Reddit: I think I made the wrong choice (EOS RP)
August 14, 2023 -
I'll try to keep this short.
Today, I got the Canon EOS RP. I've wanted to switch to mirrorless for a while, and planned to about a year ago when I sold my 80D, but I sadly ran into some financial difficulty and have only now been able to get a camera again.
The EOS RP is nice, but the plastic feels kinda strange, and it feels a bit too small compared to my 80D. It also seems like the AF is generally slower, by quite alot, as is the camera OS overall. My 80D felt much snappier with it's AF, and I feel like the images were sharper too, but I may be mistaken.
Another thing, is the overall asthetic just feels more budget, and entry level, which I'm told that the EOS RP is, something I was not aware of before purchasing. This feels like a step backwards from my 80D.
I'm debating returning it and getting a 90D instead, please advise.
Could I be doing something wrong?

RP is a very good camera. its an entry level full frame mirrorless. the 80D is a very good crop sensor DSLR. Equivalent quality in full frame sensor mirrorless would be the R6 Mk II. R5 would be a step up. Equivalent quality in crop sensor mirrorless would be the R7 90D is a slight upgrade from 80D but its a DSLR. Canon is de-emphasizing DSLR ecosystem. If it's in your budget, mirrorless is probably more future proof. FWIW, I have the R7 and R5 and am quite pleased with both cameras. R7 might be a little better for birds in flight R5 is a little better for portraits and landscapes but in both instances, the difference is subtle.

There are a lot of adjustments and customizations you can make with the RP to get the most out of it. Including prioritizing tracking speed, refresh rate on the EVF, etc. Mirrorless handles different. You can go back to what you’re used to. Or you can download the advanced user guide and see how to get the most out of your RP.

Canon EOS RP Review
Sensor-based AF speeds have improved dramatically in recent years and Canon has improved sensor-based AF speed to the point of practically matching traditional phase detection AF. As I did when reviewing the EOS R, I compared the AF speed of a Canon EOS 5Ds R with a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM Lens mounted to that of Canon EOS RP with a Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Lens.

September 17, 2024 - The only camera that’s cheaper is the Sony A7 II, which is an older design, not as nice to use, in my opinion, and hardly any more competent for video. Build and handling: The EOS RP is really nice to use!

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.

Canon EOS RP Review 2026 (Entry-Level & Full Frame)
December 24, 2025 - The Canon EOS RP is an entry-level full frame mirrorless camera. It is not something you often come across. And it's one of the first cameras to be marketed as such. So this puts it in a strange place on the market.

February 13, 2019 - The Canon EOS RP, however, bucks this trend. The EOS RP is small and lightweight yet keeps some degree of weather-sealing and comes in at a very affordable $1,299 body-only price point. And it has that ever-enticing full-frame sensor.

Canon EOS RP review | Amateur Photographer
March 25, 2025 - The EOS R body was packed full of new ideas, but in its bid to break away from traditional DSLR design and re-think how cameras should work, ended up feeling somewhat alien to long-standing EOS users. This stood in stark contrast to Nikon’s Z 6 and Z 7, which behave much like miniaturised versions of the firm’s DSLRs. The Canon EOS RP was introduced, it brought in a new more affordable full-frame camera, could it be one of the best Canon cameras?

Review: Canon EOS RP (Well Worth the Money for Almost $1,200)
February 4, 2020 - The Canon EOS RP is a nice camera. It isn't the highest grade option and it won't win a whole lot of awards. But it will sell.

Canon EOS RP Review - Conclusion - Imaging Resource
February 13, 2019 - While there are still a fair amount of physical controls and dials around the camera, the RP is much more minimal than Canon’s usual full-frame DSLRs. With the small-sized body comes obvious trade-offs for space and button options. Still, the camera does feature front and rear control dials, a 4-way directional button, and a large, articulating display with a responsive touchscreen panel. The 2.36M-dot OLED EVF is also quite good, though not as large nor as high-res as the one found on the EOS R.
