There are so many different content creators out there, from beginners to vloggers, to adventure fans to professionals. But how do you select the right camera when there are so many options available? We understand that the process of buying a new camera can be a little daunting. To help you avoid this and to give you some idea, we are going to run you through the features of the Canon EOS RP and explain how these features can help you to capture creative content.

Full Frame. Full Power.

The Canon EOS RP is a versatile camera, perfect for enthusiasts who are looking for a well-versed option for both stills and videos. Sitting at a seriously attractive entry-level price point makes it more affordable than ever to move up to Canon's revolutionary mirrorless camera system.

Canon EOS RP features the Canon-developed 26.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor in an admirably compact body. Unlike smaller APS-C sensors with the crop factor, full-frame sensors deliver an outstanding image quality and allow you to make full use of wide-angle lenses. This factor is extremely helpful in low-light scenarios and necessary if you want to create dynamic landscape and travel images.

The EOS RP also delivers outstanding detail in both highlights and shadows, as well as Canon’s inimitable colour science.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF & DiG!C 8 processing power

The EOS RP employs Canon’s most powerful imaging processor, DiG!C 8. Also, it boasts Dual Pixel CMOS AF with up to 4779 selectable autofocus point positions, which is the company’s most advanced and fastest AF system yet. This combination delivers outstanding precision and speed when capturing still images and incredibly smooth focus tracking when shooting videos.

The EOS RP AF system provides you with exceptional control and precision when choosing different focus points. It also features a new Eye Detect AF, which automatically locks on to subjects’ eyes and tracks their movement for pin-sharp portraits.

Full Control – EOS RP Functions and Features

3" vari-angle touch LCD screen

This allows you to fully rotate the screen and shoot from creative new angles. This capability is useful for a variety of situations like astrophotography when the camera needs to be pointed directly to the sky, or for those challenging moments when shooting in tight spaces. Besides, the flip screen enables you to capture self-portraits or to see yourself while vlogging.

The EOS RP’s screen uses an intuitive touch autofocusing system, making it incredibly fast when locking focus on subjects.

Besides, it can be used for protection by swivelling the screen fully closed once the shoot is finished.
