8bit 4:2:0 footage can be captured internally, and 8bit 4:2:2 footage can be output through the HDMI port, although there's no Log shooting profile, which may disappoint those looking to use the EOS RP for more considered video recording.

It's also not possible to use Dual Pixel CMOS AF when capturing 4K videos, which means you need to use either contrast-detect AF or manual focus. This is precisely the same crop as when using an EF-S lens on the camera (in conjunction with one of three adapters), and you can also apply this crop when shooting standard HD footage, should you need a little extra reach.
Videos themselves are captured in either 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) quality to a maximum 25p, or in Full HD (1920 x 1080) or Standard HD (1080 x 720) to 60p, although the camera is only able to shoot 4K video with a crop factor of 1.6x.

When capturing videos, however, a dual-mode Movie digital IS mode can be called upon, and this can work with a lens-based Image Stabilizer for greater effect (a partnership dubbed Combination IS). Unlike its Panasonic S1, Sony A7 II and Nikon Z6 rivals, the EOS RP's sensor isn’t equipped with its own image stabilization system, so you’ll need to make sure that the lens you’re using is. Weight: 485g (including battery and memory card) Video: 4K (up to 25p) Full HD (up to 60p) Screen: 3.0-inch vari-angle touchscreen, 1,040,000 dotsīurst shooting: 5fps (4fps with Servo AF)Īutofocus: Dual Pixel CMOS AF, 4779 selectable points Sensor: 26.2MP full-frame CMOS (27.1MP total) Thanks to an adaptor that comes with the camera as standard, it’s also possible to use an exhaustive collection of EF and EF-S optics, which is just as well when you consider that two of the current RF lenses cost more than the EOS RP itself. The EOS RP is based around the same RF lens mount as the debut EOS R model, which means that it accepts the four RF lenses developed for the system so far (and will support the six currently under development). Indeed, with an RRP of $1299/£1399 for the body and an EF adapter, it’s managed to seriously undercut most of its closest competitors from the off. Now, with the EOS RP, the company has matched its rivals in providing a more accessible way into its system. Canon’s first release, the EOS R, was met with mixed emotions, and the fact that the company kicked things off with just one relatively pricey model immediately gave Nikon and Panasonic’s dual-model debuts a little more appeal.
