EOS RP

Bought it used for $500 with a 24-105 lens and loves it with no regrets.

“I just bought this camera with the 24-105 lens and I’m loving it. I got mine for $500 used. I’m so glad I bought it. No regrets.”

Bought for the price and very happy, but one battery isn't enough.

“I bought it because of its price and im really happy with it. Just one thing, buy another battery because one battery isn’t enough”

Four years on, uses it professionally for stills after a Rebel T3i; images are sharp and clean and phone pairing for remote shooting works well.

“I bought one 4 years ago to replace the Rebel T3I I had. I use it professionally for stills, It works amazing. The images are sharp and clean.”

Finds the EOS RP fantastic, light and compact with the 50mm f/1.8.

“The RP Is fantastic! I really enjoy the form factor..”

Is fully satisfied with a refurbished EOS RP for the price as a hobbyist.

“For the price im 100% satified considering this is just a hobby”

Has used the RP in light and moderate rain with no issues over six years.

“I've had the RP in light rain and moderate rain a few times”

Their RP needed a motherboard replacement for moisture corrosion despite never being used in rain.

“The RP is the only Canon camera I’ve ever had that required the motherboard to be replaced due to moisture related corrosion.”

Loves the RP's image quality with 35 and 50 primes but finds it bulky enough to leave at home, so is selling it.

“The image quality isn’t the issue. The problem is I hate carrying two lenses, and the RP body is bulky enough”

Likes their RP: autofocus is pretty good and the body comfortable, great for portraits but less so for wildlife.

“I definitely like it, autofocus is pretty good in my opinion, and the body is comfortable to hold.”

Has used the RP since launch and loves it, giving it 10/10 at a good price, though AF isn't fastest and burst is only about 4fps.

“Love mine! Been using it since it came out.”

Finds the RP lacks the dynamic range of later Canon bodies and struggles with some adapted EF and third-party lenses, but does really well with good RF glass.

“it lacks the dynamic range of later Canon mirrorless cameras.”

Calls the RP an excellent stills and landscape camera with good 1080p video, but it struggles with action.

“it's an excellent stills and landscape camera, but really struggles with action or fast motion.”

Bought the RP to replace a broken 5D Mark II and thoroughly enjoyed it; poor for video and the small battery needs spares.

“I used it as a side step to my busted 5dm2, and have thoroughly enjoyed it.”

Used the RP since launch for family and hobby shooting and was happy: fast focusing and great low light, with occasional missed action shots.

“I was happy with the RP, specially coming from m4/3. Fast focusing, good video. Great low light.”

Dad shooting kids' sports, vacations and family uses the RP and finds it fast enough and great in low light.

“Its fast enough, great at lowlight.”

Generally really likes their RP and has shot two weddings with amazing results despite the single card slot.

“I shot now two weddings with it and the results are amazing.”

RP owner finds it ideal for portraits, landscape and street and still has no need to upgrade, though not for sport or video.

“very nice FF camera - for portraits, landscapes, street is ideal.”

Has used the RP for three years alongside an EOS R for portraits and events with EF lenses and finds it a big upgrade from a 6D.

“It’s an upgrade from my previous 6D and for me, it’s an absolute upgrade.”

Had the RP six months and sold it for an R8 because the slow burst and sluggish AF missed shots.

“The RP isn’t a bad camera it just has some quirks where I was missing a good amount of shots”

Bought the RP in 2019 as a placeholder and is still shooting with it years later.

“I bought my RP back in 2019 as a placeholder”

Says the RP's action capability and AF are the weakest of any R camera but still beat DSLRs, and its sensor handles ISO 12800.

“Sensor is great and if you know how to handle it is capable of shooting up to 12800 iso.”

Uses the RP as a main camera; AF is slow and FPS very slow, but loves it for car meets and portraits.

“I have it as a main camera. AF is a bit slow, FPS is ridiculously slow.”

Uses the RP for their son's soccer and more and calls it hard to beat for value, missing only the odd shot.

“Full frame mirrorless camera with 26MP that’s easy to use for under $1000… hard value to beat.”

Used the RP as a main camera for years before an R6 II; great low light and good in small hands, but battery life is weak.

“The RP was my main camera for a few years”

Has owned the RP since day one for landscapes with RF primes and zooms and still loves it; super light with the 35 and 50.

“I have it from day 1 and I still love it.”

Found the RP's 4K autofocus awful and moved to an R8 after a year for better tracking.

“the autofocus in 4k is awful.”

Uses the RP as an everyday camera with RF primes and an adapted 24-105; fits their needs perfectly.

“For the price and size it fits my needs perfectly.”

Is obsessed with the RP as a perfect portrait camera paired with a Samyang 85mm f/1.4.

“I think RP baby is a perfect still/portrait camera”

Got lots of great shots on the RP with the RF 100-400, though the keeper rate rose after moving to the R8.

“I love the RF 100-400mm on the RP and got a ton of great shots.”

Shoots an R6 II and R8 professionally with an RP personally; the newer sensor is better but good technique closes the gap.

“my personal camera is an RP.”

Upgraded from an SL1 to the RP and found it full of new features and small; decent on a budget though video is limited.

“as someone who has used it and had it as my first upgrade to mirrorless, it’s really not that bad.”

Liked the RP as their first mirrorless, paired with the RF 100-400.

“I liked it! Had one last year as my first step into mirrorless.”

Moved from a Rebel T7 to the RP and loves the noticeable difference.

“I went from a rebel t7 to an RP and the difference was noticeable. I love it!”

Has had the RP since 2019 and feels no need to upgrade.

“I have my RP since 2019 and feel no need to upgrade.”

Uses the RP as a backup to an R5 and finds it great at refurbished prices.

“I have an R5 and the RP is my backup body. The RP is great.”

Finds the RP fine: AF far better than their 6D and it's the light camera they reach for, though they use the 6D in rain.

“I bought an RP last April as my first mirrorless and it's *fine*.”

Former RP owner calls it a great entry full-frame camera, with battery life its only annoyance.

“I owned an RP it is great entry level FF Camera.”

Upgraded from APS-C to the RP with no regrets; brief burst freezes and short battery life are the inconveniences.

“That was a great buy for the price.”

Recently moved from the RP to the R8 but calls the RP great with good AF and a very good budget full-frame option.

“I have plenty of amazing photos with it, it's a great camera”

Uses the RP with an RF 24-70 L for family and travel; compact and great, but the battery is poor.

“RP is great for travel since the form factor is compact. The battery sucks.”

Was disappointed by the RP's slow, stuttery viewfinder and upgraded to an R5.

“I got the RP first, and I was very disappointed with how slow and stuttery the viewfinder is.”

Former RP owner calls it one of the best values, with low light its weak point.

“It's a great camera for the money, maybe one of the best values out there.”

Owns the RP and hates it; fine for photos but AF is poor and video focus is really bad.

“I have it and I hate it, for photo its cool but AF not so much.”

Enjoyed the RP as a first full-frame camera, a compact street and travel setup with STM primes; 4K was rough.

“RP was my first full frame camera and I really enjoyed it.”

Upgraded from a Nikon D3000 to the RP with the kit 24-105 and loves it.

“I upgraded to the RP from a Nikon D3000 last summer and I love it.”

Loves the RP for low light and finds it plenty of camera.

“I love my rp for low light, those big pixels are great”

Owns the RP and R7; the RP takes lovely photos and was a great refurbished price.

“The RP takes lovely photos but doesn't have IBIS or a blazing shutter burst.”

Loved the RP for slow or still subjects but found burst slow for sports.

“I started on the RP last year. I loved it.”

Shoots sports and ballet with the RP, R6 II and R8 and finds the RP not good for sports.

“the RP for sports is not good”

Likes the RP a lot but its AF isn't good for fast subjects.

“I have an RP and I like it a lot, but it does not have a good autofocus for fast moving subjects.”

Has used the RP for three years for photos and it works great.

“I have mine for 3 years now and it works great.”

Calls the RP a fun, solid portrait and landscape camera but poor for sports or wildlife.

“I have one. It's a fun little camera.”

Uses the RP as backup to an R5 and finds it capable enough for some professional stills work.

“the RP is still capable enough for some professional work.”

Owns the RP and R50; the RP is better for portraits and landscapes, with AF its weak point.

“the RP is definitely better for portraits and landscape photography. Its weakest point is the auto focus”

Bought a used RP for landscapes alongside an R10; a great camera but outdated in AF, fps and video.

“although its a great camera, it is outdated technology wise.”

Bought a refurbished RP but found its dynamic range limited and noise from ISO 800; it never inspired them.

“RP is simply too old today - it has limited dynamic range and grain kicks in at ISO 800 already.”

Calls the RP solid, with weak battery life needing three batteries the only problem.

“It's a solid camera. The only problem is the rather weak battery life.”

Recently bought the RP and finds it amazing for the money with cheap adapted EF lenses.

“The RP is an amazing camera for the money.”

Owns the RP and regrets not buying the R8, as the RP is bad for video.

“I own a Canon RP and regret not saving a little more to buy the R8.”

R8 owner bought a used RP for €300 and finds it awesome for family photos.

“Somehow I bought a used RP for 300€ last week and it's awesome!”

Loves the RP and sees no need to upgrade, though the R is more premium.

“I have the RP and I love it, but the R is more premium”

Uses the RP professionally for slow editorial and product work and landscapes and is happy with it.

“I use an RP professionally and am happy with it.”

Added an RP to their R7 for full frame but finds it very limited and plans to replace it.

“The RP is not a bad camera, but it's very limited compared to the R7.”

RP user recommends the EOS R instead for better low light and features.

“as an RP user, I would get the Canon R.”

Has used both and finds the RP's battery dies quickly, DR worse and body dinkier than the EOS R.

“The RP uses a smaller battery that dies quickly and the dynamic range doesn’t seem as good.”

Owns the RP and a 5D IV and finds the RP's compact size amazing and more than good enough for portraits and landscapes.

“the compact size of the RP is amazing and not something that should be discounted.”

Wishes they'd chosen an R7 but still calls the RP a great camera.

“In hindsight I wish I got an R7 instead of the RP, though the RP is still a great camera”

Has used a second-hand RP for three years and gets heavy noise above ISO 800 with red lines when pushed.

“I faced many times that with ISO above 800 the image is very noise and it gets red lines.”

RP owner finds it a really good choice for slower subjects; AF beats DSLRs but isn't good for small distant wildlife.

“it is a really good choice for landscapes, portraits and other things which involve slower moving subjects.”

Still uses their RP and calls it solid, though not for wildlife.

“The RP is still a solid camera. One that I own and still use from time to time.”

Calls the RP great value for stills and is fine shooting moving subjects at night with it.

“If you don't need video and best dynamic range this is great value camera.”

Loves the RP as an entry into full-frame mirrorless, with no complaints for casual shooting.

“The RP is a great entry into full frame mirrorless. I love mine!”

Uses the RP for astrophotography with a Rokinon 14mm at ISO 4000 and finds it works great.

“It works great for Astro!”

Has done several astro outings with the RP with no complaints, using a USB power bank.

“I've done a few astro outings with my RP. No complaints.”

Finds two batteries last 4-6 hour shoots and the RP has performed extremely well in low light.

“the camera so far has been extremely well in all the low light situations I have been in so far.”

Loved the RP for its price, size and weight for hiking; battery was OK and astro decent.

“I just switched off of my rp, and I absolutely loved it for the price, the size and weight are amazing if you do any hiking.”

Moved from a T7 to the RP and loves it; the autofocus impressed them and DR concerns are exaggerated.

“Switched from a t7 to an rp a couple years ago and love the rp.”

Moved from a 450D to the RP for family and travel and loves it, with high ISO on another level.

“All for personal photos (family, events, travel, etc.) so not professional but I love the camera.”

Moved from a T3i to the RP and praises its low weight, fast AF, convenient focus point selection and adapted EF use.

“Low weight, I normally use it with 50mm and feels like a compact camera”

Bought the RP and loves it, finding the grip ergonomic and low-light performance satisfying.

“the grip is much better. I find it quite ergonomic and easy to use.”

RP owner finds high ISO excellent for the price but dynamic range no better than their 70D.

“Low light performance is excellent for the price, high ISO shots look great.”

Sold their 5D III, 7D and a6000 and now uses only the RP, including for astro.

“I love my RP. I used to have 5D MkIII, 7D, 30D and a Sony A6000.”

Uses the RP for football and finds it does a phenomenal job.

“I use the RP for sports, specifically football. Does a phenomenal job!”

Shot youth soccer with the RP and found keepers were luck, with focus lagging and low practical FPS.

“You will get some keepers with RP but they will be a lucky accident.”

Uses the RP comfortably for professional events and finds it underappreciated.

“I comfortably use it for professional events work.”

Uses the RP with adapted FD and Takumar lenses and a cheap battery grip that solved battery life.

“I bought my RP primarily to use my Canon FD and Takumar lenses.”

Moved from a 600D to the RP and likes it but wouldn't recommend it because Canon restricts third-party RF lenses.

“I like it, great camera. Wouldn't recommend it though.”

Had the RP and now the R6 and found the RP slow with mediocre DR; its only advantage is tiny size.

“RP is like a joke compared to R6.”

Bought the RP in 2020 and finds it OK but not perfect, already feeling old.

“I bought the RP in 2020 and felt it was already a bit old.”

Loves the RP for its size; with the 28mm pancake it fits in a hoodie pocket.

“I love it because it’s small.”

Loves their RP for its ergonomics and weight, though shots per battery are low so they carry several.

“I am currently on an RP, upgrading to an R8 this summer. I love that camera.”

Uses the RP with a 28mm pancake for hiking and biking but finds the grip and EVF hump too bulky for their bikepacking bags.

“the RP is still a little bulkier than ideal.”

Bought a refurbished RP with a 28mm but still reaches for their smaller M6 II for casual carry since the RP feels massive by comparison.

“The rp is the smallest full frame made by cannon and it just feels massive in comparison.”

Loved the RP for portraits but not for wildlife, keeping a 77D for birds.

“I ended up going with the RP (this is before some of the other options came out) and loved it for portraits, but not for wildlife”

Moved from a 5D II to the RP; likes its features and small size, but the ergonomics are a downgrade with too much control fiddling.

“It’s def a downgrade in ergonomics for sure. I’m fiddling with controls more than I’d like.”

Went from a 5D III to the RP and doesn't like it, using it only for hiking.

“I went from 5d3 to RP and I don’t like it.”

Owns an R3, R6 Mark II and R5 but takes the RP on every non-paid trip; it has been to Greece, Nepal, Japan and more, and they call it an excellent lightweight entry-level full-frame camera.

“I take the RP anytime I get on a plane to travel. Usually with the L24-105 and a 16mm. Perfect travel companions.”

Owns both the 6D Mark II and the RP and finds the RP's keeper rate on moving subjects much higher, even though it is a slower shooter.

“the hit rate is much higher on the RP.”

Former RP owner says it is not a bad camera, but its sensor is the older 6D Mark II one and its autofocus lags behind modern Canon mirrorless bodies.

“I have owned the RP, and it’s definitely not a bad camera. But the AF is still not up to par with modern Canon mirrorless cameras.”

Moved from a 5D II to the RP with no regrets; incredibly light and a great shooter.

“I love my RP. Incredibly light and a great shooter.”

Loved the RP before it was stolen; it was plenty good unless you shoot video.

“I loved my RP. Wish I still had it.”

Loved the RP as their first camera before moving to an R8; nothing better for the price.

“Just upgraded from an RP to an R8 but damn do I love the RP. It was my first camera. Nothing better for the price imo.”

Moved from a 6D to the RP and shoots much more; it's more convenient with amazing AF in comparison.

“Now I use camera so much more because its more convenient and autofocus is amazing compared to 6d”

Started RF with the RP and liked it so much they kept it alongside newer bodies and still shoot it often.

“I still like the RP so much that I've kept it and still shoot very frequently with it.”

Their RP's power switch failed in the same way.

“My RP had the same thing happen to it”

The rubber grip on their RP wore through after four years, and they replaced it themselves with a $45 kit.

“The rubber grip on my RP had gotten worn out (and torn) on the bit where your pointy finger would sit, just under the shutter button after 4+ years of use.”

Does all their professional work on the RP; the AF is fine for their non-sports work, and they see no reason to upgrade.

“Honestly I have the RP and with the exception of feeling like a fraud at times, I keep finding no reason to upgrade.”

Moved from a 600D to the RP and finds it fantastic after two days, though the JPEG noise reduction looks phone-like.

“Been using it for 2 days and all I can say its absolutely fantastic”

Uses the RP for paid portrait sessions and as a wedding backup; clients can't tell its shots from an R6's.

“I'm only starting out doing paid photography, but I've used my RP. For portrait sessions it's completely fine”

Moved from a 1200D to a cheap mint RP and finds it a great little all-rounder.

“I upgraded from my 1200D to my RP. Got it cheap and in mint condition and it's a great little all rounder!”

Happy with images from the RP and RF 100-400 on a budget, but thinks a better body would improve them.

“I think they would be even better if I had a better camera body”

Owns the RP but can't use it comfortably without the EG-E1 extension grip, because it feels too small.

“I currently own the EOS RP, which I can’t really use comfortably without the Canon Extension Grip EG-E1.”

Their RP kept shutting down after a shot or two when using face tracking with Godox strobes, but worked fine on single-point AF.

“I’d take one or two shots and it would shut off. Complete dead.”

Has used the RP since 2020 and been happy with it, but wants to upgrade because of its slow burst rate and limited dynamic range.

“I've been using an EOS RP since 2020, and I've been pretty happy with it, especially compared to my previous 550D and 760D.”

Moved from a 5D to the RP and found the difference night and day.

“I switched to the RP from the 5D and like you said, the difference is night and day.”

Rebought an RP with the 50mm after selling one years ago because they had loved it.

“I fell in love with it back then”

Loves their light full-frame RP for great photos at a low price, despite slow burst and older AF.

“I love the RP, it’s light, full frame and gives great photos. Sure burst is slow”

Their RP with RF 35mm and 85mm primes works well for them.

“I have the RP with RF 35mm f1.8 & 85mm f2. This combination works well for me”

Owned an RP and found it pretty meh; would choose an R8 instead.

“And the RP is pretty meh; I had one. I'd take an R8 over it.”

Their RP, bought new, failed right after the warranty ended; cheaply built, though pictures were fine.

“I had RP as new , it crapped out right after warranty ended.”

Came back to photography with an RP and 50mm for about $800 and loves it so far, without regretting selling their Sony A7 bodies.

“I love it so far. Do i miss my A7 line of cameras, yes. Not enough to regret selling them now that i got the Canon.”

Shoots video on their RP; 4K autofocus is terrible but 1080p AF is very good and the colours look good straight out of camera.

“Its true that AF on 4K is terrible, but on 1080p is very good”

Their RP from 2021 froze twice in low-speed continuous shooting and would not turn off until the battery was pulled.

“Twice recently I have had it freeze. I was using low speed continuous and it just stopped taking pictures even though the screen and viewfinder were on.”

Owned the RP and mostly loved it, except for its battery life.

“I owned the Canon RP, an older, less capable full frame and mostly loved it. Thing I hated about the RP was the battery life, but when I owned”

Going from a 6D to the RP felt like a downgrade in some ways: its AF offered more control but felt less accurate and slower. Overall still positive.

“going from the 6D to the RP felt like a downgrade, but it was globally positive… the AF gave more control, but felt less accurate and quick. And then I”
