Canon EOS RP Specifications [CR1]

I hope that it won't be the case. Side-articulated LCD is great for video, but completely useless on tripod with L-bracket.

I definitely didn't think of this and use an L bracket regularly. Dang.

Specs like this make me happy

The presence of the 24-240 makes me question whether Canon is leaving APS-C for the M series, only. If so, and the R series is confined to large-bodied, full-frame cameras with great ergonomics, I would be a very happy camper

Given the relative sizes of the M5/M50 and the SL2, I think that an RP may not be as large as you think. The SL2 is almost as small as the M5 and M50 but uses an EF lens mount, which is the same size as the R mount. I wouldn't be at all surprised if an RP uses the same user interface as an M5 and is only slightly larger. Given that, I wonder if sales of the M series would decrease and by how much.

If I could get one of these used for about $500 in a couple of years, that could be perfect for using on my telescope.

Just a week before the official release, CR2 rumour of EOS R listed this for $1990.

- EOS R body
•28MP full frame sensor
•Dual Pixel Auto Focus
•IBIS (In Body Image Stabilisation)
•10fps shooting
•4k@30fps
•1080p@60fps

Just sayin...

 

[unfocused]

I would be openly stunned if they don't use the LP-E6N. Its THE battery on every even loosely pro model they have...

It is the battery on every full frame body they make, except for the 1Dx, so yes, they will use the same battery on this body.

Reality check here. Canon does not decide the future of APS-C, the market does. Canon will make APS-C DSLRs as long as they are profitable. Canon could not care less if people buy mirrored or mirrorless cameras, so long as they buy cameras that say "Canon" on them.

• Eye AF now supports Servo AF and Video AF

Incoming new firmware for EOS R?

Yep, agreed

 

[tmroper]

That sounds pretty good. And the reduced weight will help make-up for the added weight of the adapter, since there will be no native small and lightweight lenses for it for the foreseeable future.

So a 2019 camera with the specs and sensor quality a 2014 Sony A7 but for $1600? lol. You can get a new a7 for $798 right now. I miss the old Canon who knew what they were doing. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

You can probably get a Sony A7 for a lot cheaper than that...from the garbage cans of real photographers.

If you think a camera with awful ergonomics, lousy color, a crappy EVF and terrible weather sealing is worth $798, go for it!

Cool, you know the sensor of EOS RP - please share the data, would be very interesting for a lot of us

 

[riker]

Fiiiinally. 15-35/2.8.
Just one mm but something I can finally call development and one step forward.
22-70 would have been a brilliant surprise.

You know you have moved on from a previous relationship when you become indifferent. So sorry to see you still suffering.

RRS L bracket had a cutout so you can use tilty flippy screen no problem.

I had assumed this must be a solvable problem when I read the comment prior to mine, but not currently having a tilty-flippy screen I didn't even consider it as an issue until today. Glad some have already considered and addressed it!

This guy. A7 has 4K? crop or no crop? Native ISO of 25600... close enough to 40000 of the EOS R I guess. 4 fps continuous shooting.. with af tracking? that I'm not sure about the A7.

My point is, Sony's first offering was not good. Remember all of the complaints and recalls? AND initial body only pricing for the A7 was... 1699.

RF35 1.2 please!
