Here are the full Canon EOS RP specifications

No DPAF in 4k? Wait I missed that. Where did you see that?

It's on the press release I believe. It is similar to the M50 that DPAF is not available in 4K and uses contrast detection. Many entry level buyers probably won't even care about 4K or fully understand the difference between CDAF/DPAF and will simply see that the camera auto focuses in video and be satisfied with that. Didn't expect Canon to offer DPAF @ 4K at this price point, and really shouldn't for that price based on the target audience.

EOS M50 = 1080p @ 24

EOS RP = NO 1080p @24

...I cant get my head around this

Like I said, no 24fps (or 23.98). 25fps is a PAL Video standard. Not USA. 24 is pretty much the standard for cinema and a LOT of TV shows these days. If it can do 30 and 60 and 25 for PAL .... why can't it do the most basic of all modern video formats at 23.98 or 24? That was deliberately withheld. I understand no CLog, no 10 bit out, even no 4k30... fine. You have to leave space between this and R .... but no 24??? You have 24 on 4k but not 1080p? That's nuts. ELEVEN years ago the Canon 5D2 was capable of this... I don't know how much more basic a video function this could be

According to Adorama, it has 30fps. I am buying this. To me, this is their best move ever since I have known Canon.

If you're open to options, you might have a peek at the new Fuji X-T30 for it's seriously upgraded video... And it's smaller, lighter, cheaper than the RP...

Probably just gonna stick to my 1DX2 for now. I wanted a second, smaller body to compliment DX2 video. EOS R is still a great option but $2200 was more than I wanted to do. The 422 8bit out from the RP is fine but losing the most basic of all video modes (1080p 24) is just a middle finger. I love Canon to death and I have a ton of nothing but Canon gear. But that cripple is just silly.

Wouldn't a 90D with 30MP and 4k fit in the line up?
Since the RP has 26 MP, 4K (limited), the advantage of being able to use any new RF lenses which are released, and a great price point, I don't really see the 90D winning this fight. This is assuming the 90D would use the Digic 8 and have the same video limitations which the EOS R has.

I agree about the specs. But the RP has the EVF ... for those who prefer the optical view-finder (like me) a 90D or a 6D Mark3 still would be worth buying. :giggle:

Yeah, I guess that will largely depend on the quality of the EVF as well. I haven't gotten the RP in my hands to see how good the EVF really is, but I did read it isn't as good as the R. I will say, the R's EVF is nothing short of amazing. You can barely tell it's not optical.

Hmm,.. the R's EVF might be the best there is at the moment but I tried it and didn't like it that much. Although I like the specs and especially with the 28-70/2.0 :love: - but it's ~5000,-€uro here .... :LOL:
