Yes, at “only” 26MP the sensor is slightly smaller than the pricier and fancier R. If that’s true, I expect it to sell very well. Instead with the RP, Canon cut some features, and is expected to price the camera at about $1,499 or $1,599 according to CanonRumors.

That’s interesting as many were expecting and hoping that Canon would release a proper “pro” RF mount based camera that would match up against heavyweights such as the super high resolution Sony A7 R. The RP from what we know (and we know almost all there is to know because leaks are almost always these days accurate… sadly no surprises in tech anymore) is a full-frame mirrorless camera that slots under the $2,299 (USD) EOS R. We should expect more choice obviously, but also falling prices.Ĭase in point: Canon’s rumored Canon EOS RP. The competition for us camera and videographer nerds will be most welcome.

Sony had gotten there long time before, with its quickly expanding Alpha range, with models such as the A7 III, A7 S2, A7 RIII and so on - it’s tough keeping track of Sony cameras, as they’ve apparently opted an iPhone-like refresh model with new updates coming annually.īut now that Canon and Nikon have entered the market things are heating up. Canon with a single model, the EOS R and Nikon with a pair of full-frame models, the Z6 and Z7. In the camera world 2018 will be remembered as the year that both Canon and Nikon finally entered the full-frame mirrorless market.
