Canon EOS RP
A full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera, and Canon's cheapest way into full-frame mirrorless.
Overview
The Canon EOS RP is a mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera made by Canon. It was built as a light, low-cost full-frame body. At launch it was marketed as the world's least expensive full-frame mirrorless camera. It gives you the core high-end imaging features in a compact body. It shares much of its design and handling with the more expensive Canon EOS R, but it is smaller and lighter, and it gives up some performance features like high frame-rate shooting. Reviewers praise its ergonomics, including a dedicated mode dial, and some consider its handling better than other mirrorless cameras. It is optimized for travel, light carrying and high image quality.
