Who the Canon EOS RP is for

The Canon EOS RP is a 26.2MP full-frame mirrorless camera, well suited to vlogging and hybrid shooting.

  • One of the most affordable full-frame cameras at launch, with a 26MP sensor in a tiny body.
  • Dual Pixel AF with eye detection for stills in a lightweight, beginner-friendly design.
  • 4K video is heavily cropped and contrast-only, so it suits stills and everyday use best.

Best for

  • Vlogging and handheld video — flip-out screen and a mic input.

Keep in mind

  • No in-body stabilisation — you'll lean on stabilised lenses for slow handheld shots.
  • Single card slot — no in-camera backup, which matters for critical paid jobs.
  • Video is capped at 29 minutes per clip.

What Full-Frame means in practice

A full-frame sensor at 26.2MP gives the shallowest depth of field of the three formats at any given framing and aperture, and the most sensor area to gather light with. That is the physical reason full-frame bodies tend to be the larger and heavier option: the lenses that cover the format have to be bigger too.

Video and weather sealing

4K tops out at 25p, which covers standard delivery but leaves no room for slowing footage down.

The body is weather-sealed.
