Canon EOS RPs

Quick summary

The Canon EOS RPs is a compact full-frame mirrorless camera that launched in 2019. It pairs a full-frame sensor with a light, travel-friendly body. Buying pre-owned can save several hundred pounds versus the original retail price, while still giving you the full-frame look and shallow depth of field many photographers want.

Key features and what they do 📸

• 26.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor — Delivers high image quality and better low-light performance than APS-C sensors.
• Lightweight body (around 485 g) — Easier to carry for travel, street and everyday shooting.
• Canon RF lens mount — Access to Canon’s growing RF lens range. You can also use EF lenses with an adapter.
• Dual Pixel CMOS AF — Fast, reliable autofocus for stills and smooth subject tracking in video.
• Vari-angle touchscreen — Helps with composing at odd angles and vlogging-style shooting.
• 4K video (cropped) — Useful for casual video, though expect a crop and some limitations compared with higher-end R models.

Which R series models to consider 🔍

If you want a smaller, lighter full-frame option, the RPs stands out. If you prefer a more compact or budget-friendly APS-C option, look at models such as the Canon EOS R50. For a simple overview of camera types and alternatives, see our interchangeable-lens cameras category.

Things to consider when buying pre-owned
