Initially I found the viewfinder dark on the EOS RP that I tested. It works fine, but I did run into a couple of quirks. The EOS R’s viewfinder was one of the best that I’ve used, and the EOS RP has a decidedly average viewfinder by comparison. 5″ on the EOS R) and lower resolution (2.36 million dots per inch vs. It is essentially lifted from the EOS M50, and is smaller (.39″ vs. The viewfinder on the EOS RP is decent but certainly a downgrade from the EOS R. To be fair, I’ve never had a card failure during an event, but my personal preference is to have two card slots and write RAW files to one and JPEGs to another (which become a de-facto backup for me). There is only one card slot, but at least it is a UHS-II compliant slot that allows you to leverage cards with faster write speeds. The memory card slot runs a different direction than the battery itself, and is fairly easy to access.

I’m not a big fan of “memory-card-on-the-bottom”, as it is much more convenient when shooting on a tripod to have side access to the memory card, but thankfully the EOS RP’s layout is much better than that of, say, the Sony a6000 series cameras. The right side of the camera (grip side) has no side door, as the single SD card slot has been shifted to the battery compartment. You’ve got a remote shutter release port, a microphone and headphone jack, then a mini-HDMI and the aforementioned USB-C connection. The side view with all the connection ports (shown above) is near-identical to that on the EOS R. I’ve spent some time with the EOS RP along with the Canon RF 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM – the least expensive Canon RF-mount lens at the moment – and I feel like I have a solid feel of where this camera excels, where it comes up short, and who it is for. There are some obvious areas where the camera has been held back to provide market separation from the EOS R, but the low price of entry makes it easy to forgive these when the resulting camera is really quite good. It’s a surprisingly competent camera on a number of levels, with great autofocus, great ergonomics, good image quality (with a few caveats), and Canon’s fantastic “Vari-Angle” touchscreen.

This second full-frame mirrorless camera comes with a slightly reduced spec list and a price tag roughly $1000 less – making it one of the most affordable entry points into a full frame camera, period, and also the lowest point of entry into a mirrorless full frame camera. The Canon EOS RP is Canon’s second entry in the new R series of mirrorless cameras from Canada.
