Verdict

The Canon EOS RP is a compact full-frame mirrorless camera featuring a 26.2MP CMOS sensor and the DIGIC 8 processor, capable of 4K/24p video and 5 fps continuous shooting. Its main characteristics include a lightweight 485g body, Dual Pixel CMOS AF with 4,779 selectable points, and a fully articulating 3-inch touchscreen. The primary pros are its impressive ergonomics, excellent JPEG color science, and highly affordable entry point into the RF-mount ecosystem. However, it faces notable cons such as a significant 1.6x crop and lack of Dual Pixel AF during 4K recording, absence of in-body image stabilization (IBIS), and relatively short battery life.
