Canon EOS RP Specifications & Images

[PureClassA]

Gave it away at the end lol
As a very compact FF stills camera with some basic video features, this will sell well, too, even in 2019

Absolutely, but just wondering with two cameras being almost identical (in our assumptions here) and at almost identical price points, they would certainly eat into each other. Not into EOS R or 5D4

View attachment 183080$899 for 4k will full readout on a lil’ ol’ crop body compact. EOS RP has no excuse for leaving out 4k

What is this pixel binDing that adorama speaks of? I'm not sure what it is but it sounds bad, I want my pixels to be free to artistically express themselves!

 

[Don Haines]

If I understand the forum logic correctly, we are expecting a lower cost camera than the R, but with higher specs.

Is the RP going to have any sort of weather sealing?

Yes. Provided you wrap it in a ziploc bag before going out in the rain

And that may well be. Only 72 hours before we know for certain. But as I said before, if Canon is true to it's statement a couple years ago about going forward that everything will have on board ADC, that would at least suggest the same pixel count could still be a new sensor design from that standpoint and thus would throw out "it's just the same sensor, different body" debate. So we'll know soon enough.

Don't forget that Canon made the statement that going forward everything will have on board ADC before the 6D II was announced. Now, maybe it was already too far along in the production pipeline, but if Canon is going for a really low price, I wouldn't be surprised if it is not on board ADC.

But I will probably buy one anyway, as the 6D I used to own had plenty enough DR for all my daytime shooting needs.

Ha..... Ha..... Ha..... So funny

Correct. But now that the fabrication system is firmly IN place (whereas it really wasn't as the 6D2 was being developed) it seems more likely now. But as I said I don't know the logistics of taking that same 6D2 wafer with 26MP and put it through the new process with onboard ADC. Someone with more technical knowledge will have to chime in.

i bet sony would crop their 4k too if they would have as good lenses as R
When downscaled less quality lenses do good 4k too.
Canon is working speedboosters so can give wider view for R 4k too

More pictures of the EOS RP have been added here:

Looks like the headphone jack hasn't been left out.

 

[Jack Douglas]

Why does it display only R except for the top - seems odd?

"Dual Sensing IS" for video only again right? because of the crop as anti shaking feature^^? + the IS from lenses. :/ :/
Look at the small battery grip?!

 

[AlP]

Nokishita provides some additional info (at this stage likely correct)

- 100% x 88% AF coverage (same as EOS R)
- 4779 selectable AF points
- AF sensitivity down to -5 EV (-6 EV for the EOS R)
- "pupil detect and AF" with servo AF
- 2.36 M Dots EVF
- 4K 24p/25p
- Built-in focus bracketing

 

[Viggo]

Seems confirmed that eye af is in Servo, I say that confirms it will be added to the R as well

It's a well engineered extension grip (sarcasm). The real question is, why is there a picture of a SD card or battery on it?

 

[1Zach1]

Ugh, I hope I’m wrong but that EVF is disappointing. Really that might be the only thing that stops me from buying it right off the bat.

because it replaces the battery door from the camera. so that's the inside of the door you are looking at.

not sure why you'd think that a entry level camera would have as good of an EVF as the big boys, but what's so dissappointing about 2.36mdot? that's the same specs as the sony's.

I really have little first hand expirence with EVFs, just working with the M50 and R side by side. If it’s the same EVF as the M50 than it’s a disappointment to me, “entry level” or not, on a $1300-1600 camera.

Edit: And I am happy to be wrong here, if this is just an issue in my head and works out fine, then even better.

Well we got 4k24 which is fine I suppose. Now just wAiting to hear what sort of output over hdmi it will have.
