That's a fantastic value. It gets right the one thing that 6D2 did not -- the price at launch. I kind of want one now 
Canon EOS RP body price confirmed at $1299 USD, and we’re very happy about it

Could make a nice rear cap for my TS-E 17.
I think this UK camera company posted the detailed specs to their website without realizing it. Looks like 4k IPB compression at 120mbs 8 bit 4:2:0 is all we get. No canon log and it doesn't specifically indicate the crop factor for 4k recording but I am betting its the same 1.74 crop we're used to. Also, 8.3 megapixel stills can be extracted from the 4k. The link appears to be an excel spreadsheet of the detailed specs. https://www.cliftoncameras.co.uk/uploads/downloads/Product Specifications/Canon/EOS RP/EOS RP Specifications.xlsx
The body is actually $1199 (or maybe $1249), given that they are including the mount adapter. I have to wonder what will happen to the M series, especially the M5.
If there's a crop, it'll be around 1.56. The crop size isn't chosen to limit the camera, it's purely based on the 1x1 readout for UHD/4K.
Going to wait for holiday deals with printer. Bought 6d2 recently. Should have waited to jump into FF.
Maybe we have to wait for Magic Lantern - RP cameras seem so cheap that it isn't that bad if you damage one during programming ...
I'm thinking they will put it on semi-permanent sale, but a lower MSRP announcement would be much better.
Let's hope! This spreadsheet doesn't indicate, but it puts everything else to rest.
If the crop factor is 1.56 it is a 24 MPix sensor: 6000 / 3840 = 1.56
My hope for a 24 MPix sensor isn't dead: (1) no 6D ii sensor & (2) same pixel numbers like M50 = easier calculations!
Maybe the 26.2 MPix is only the raw pixel number where some are used for e.g. DPAF close to the edges ?!
Fortunately, it's a hardware limitation. I don't believe a 4K crop can work that tight on that resolution of a sensor. Good find on the spreadsheet, it does confirm that it's an 8 bit out. Still looking to see if DPAF works in 4K or not. I assume no, but a boy can dream.
I didn't think Canon would ship a kit with an adapted lens, but I think at this price point it makes sense. They've probably got better lenses to work on than an RF version of the 24-105 3.5-5.6
They've definitely made the RP very tempting at this price point, but it's also made the R pricing make less sense. The ~$1000 difference in MSRP doesn't seem reflected in the specs.

Realistically, I don't think there's any chance of a brand new sensor in a $1299 camera when the R didn't even get one. I would be shocked if it's not the 6dII sensor.
It should/might have a newer processor than the 6D Mk II so would think that it will be better in that department. Exciting times!
