Impressively small despite having a large full-frame sensor, the Canon EOS RP Mirrorless Camera with 24-105mm Lens Kitoffers flexible imaging capabilities along with a portable form factor. Featuring a high-resolution 26.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor along with a DIGIC 8 image processor, both stills and UHD 4K video can be recorded using a broad sensitivity range, from ISO 100-40000, to suit working in a variety of lighting conditions. Continuous shooting is also supported at up to 5 fps for photographing moving subjects. The sensor also facilitates an advanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, with 4779 selectable on-sensor phase-detection points for quickly and accurately acquiring focus during stills and video operation.

Complementing the sensor and processor, the RP also sports a 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder along with a rear 3.0" 1.04m-dot vari-angle touchscreen LCD monitor for easier viewing from high and low angles. Additionally, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allow for wireless remote camera control along with direct image sharing to linked mobile devices.

The EOS RP features the RF lens mount, which support Canon's line of RF-mount lenses. This mount is characterized by its wide 54mm diameter and short 20mm flange-back distance, which promotes the ability to design lenses that are both faster and smaller than their SLR equivalents. The mount also incorporates a 12-pin electronic contact system for more sophisticated autofocus and image stabilization capabilities. This mount design also lends full compatibility to existing EF and EF-S-mount lenses via an optional EF-EOS R Mount Adapter.

A large 26.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor is featured and serves as an ideal balance between high-resolution output, low-light performance, and high-speed capabilities. When paired with the DIGIC 8 image processor, the EOS RP has a wide native sensitivity range from ISO 100-40000 for working in a variety of lighting conditions. Additionally, continuous shooting up to 5 fps is possible for working with moving subjects.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF offers smooth and fast focusing performance in a similar manner to how a camcorder acquires focus. This system integrates two separate photodiodes within each pixel to provide a broad and dense network phase-detection gathering elements across a majority of the image sensor to reduce focus hunting for faster, more direct control of focus placement. When working with still imagery, this focusing system works to acquire focus quickly and accurately, making it ideally suited to shooting and tracking moving subjects so that critical focus is attained with each shot. When shooting video, a Movie Servo AF mode offers smooth and natural focusing when changing from different subjects or different distances within the scene, as well as the ability to specify tracking sensitivity, AF speed, and Face or Eye Tracking priority. Benefited by the Touch AF system, rack focus is possible simply by touching elements within the scene on the touchscreen in order to change focus in an intuitive manner. Subject tracking in movies is also heightened due to the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system's ability to recognize subjects and maintain focus when working within changing or cluttered scenery. Additionally, the focus system is sensitive down to EV -5 for working in truly low-light conditions with accurate AF capabilities.

Designed for multimedia image-maker, the EOS RP supports UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution recording at up to 23.98 fps at 120 Mb/s, along with Full HD 1080p and HD 720p at 60 fps for slow motion playback. When recording in-camera, 4K video has 4:2:0 sampling and 8-bit color depth, and 4:2:2 8-bit output is possible when using an external recorder.

Audio can be recorded using the on-board stereo microphone or an optional external mic can also be used via the 3.5mm mic jack.

Also, 5-axis Dual Sensing IS can be used when recording video to electronically reduce the appearance of camera shake for sharper, smoother recording.

• Integrated 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder affords a bright and clear means for eye-level viewing.

• Rear 3.0" 1.04m-dot LCD features a vari-angle design for easier use when working from high, low, and front-facing angles. It is also a touchscreen for intuitive control over shooting, playback, and menu navigation controls.

• Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity enable wireless sharing, control, and image transfer with a compatible smart device via the Canon Camera Connect app, which also supports geotagging your files using your mobile device's location data.

• In-camera charging over USB is supported for easier on-the-go charging.

Extending the capabilities of the camera, Canon's EOS Webcam Utility software lets you turn your camera into a versatile webcam by just connecting it to a computer via USB. Compatible with a variety of streaming apps, including ZOOM, YouTube Live, Microsoft Teams, and more, this software also maintains the ability to record internally while livestreaming.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does it have a focus stacking setting ?

A: Yes, the camera takes several shots at different focus ranges and then they can be processed in Canon Digital Photo Professional.

Q: 2. Does the EF 24-105 sold with this RP body work as in a EF mount full frame camera while using the adapter? Does the RP camera loss any feature with the EF 24-105 lens due to the need of an adapter?

A: The 24-105 EF lens does not need the adapter to work on a EOS EF/EF-S camera. On any other EF camera, it will be full-frame, and on an EF-S camera it will have a 1.5x crop factor, essentially turning it into a 36-152mm lens. The adapter does not cause a loss of any feature with an EF lens on EOS-R system bodies.

Q: 3. Single memory card slot or "room for" two memory cards?

A: The EOS RP has a single SD Memory Card Slot.

Q: 4. Does this camera have IBIS?

A: This camera features 5 axis image stabilization for video.

Q: 5. Can you shoot 1080p video with the R adapter on using EF-S lenses?

A: Yes

Q: 6. I currently have a T6i Rebel. Will the lenses l currently have fit this camera?

A: In general the answer is no. Mirrorless and DSLR cameras have different mount types so even lenses from the same brand will need an adapter to attach lenses to the camera. Within Canon the answer is both yes and no. If you have EF mount lenses then there won't be a problem once you get an adapter. If you only have EF-S lenses then you will not be able to use those lenses with any Canon full frame camera, mirrorless or DSLR.

Q: 7. Does the RP's shutter close and cover the sensor when the camera is turned off as does the shutter on the R?

A: Yes the RP has the protective cover for the sensor when the lens is detached.

Q: 8. Will a old TTL FLASH work that I use for my old Canon EOS A2E Film camera?

A: You will have limited function but it should still work on the RP. The exposure may not be spot on accurate but should be usable.

Q: 9. What is performance in terms of battery

A: The battery in the Canon RP is the Canon LP-E17. This battery has a considerably lower capacity than the LP-E6N but takes the same amount of time to charge from empty. The battery would last about a half a day for stills, and around an hour for video,(depending on how many fps).

Q: 10. Does the HDMI display in 16x9?

A: If you are using the Movie Recording Mode, UHD 4K (3840 x 2160), Full HD (1920 x 1080), and HD (1280 x 720) all are 16:9 aspect ratios. As such, if you are using the HDMI output and your monitor supports 16:9 aspect ratios, then yes, the Canon EOS RP Mirrorless Digital Camera will output video in 16:9 aspect ratio via the HDMI output.
