The GH5 is just so, so good for shooting video it’s not even funny. I’m not so sure I’ll replace my GH5 with the upcoming EOS RP anytime soon. Again, being “entry level” does have its advantages.ĪLSO SEE: Canon EOS R Mirrorless Camera: First impressions by a GH5 video shooter Image: īetter still, the EOS RP looks to be smaller and lighter (1.07 pounds) than its heftier EOS R brother (1.45 pounds). So I won’t be missing those two features at all, and am perfectly fine trading them in so to speak for a discounted price on the RP. With the RP Canon has removed it, and instead you’ll find empty space and, sadly, no joystick - like you’d find on the GH5. I think there’s potential there, and perhaps over time Canon will evolve the capability and firmware to better enable the possibilities of a custom slider on the rear. In my tests with the EOS R for Stark Insider I found it finicky and overly sensitive.

Plus, the EOS RP features an old fashioned physical mode button which is what most of us are already used to using to switch from, say, manual photo mode to video mode and back again in a jiffy. Still, after using the (incredible) Panasonic GH5 for a few years, which also doesn’t have one, I’ve come accustomed to using the flip out LCD to check shutter speed, ISO, aperture, battery life, etc. No topside LCD that provides a quick glance of settings.

And on that point, it will be interesting to see if Canon even offers 4K video on the RP, and if so what the crop factor will be - I’d expect it to be about the same as the EOS R, meaning 1.8x which is unfortunately pretty bad if you’re hoping to achieve a full frame video look (me, I’m fine with APS-C or Super 35).Īside from the price, however, Canon in an effort to cut costs on the new RP has cut a few features, namely: But that’s plenty enough for a lot of us casual photographers, especially for those of concerned first and foremost about video features.
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.
