Here are the full Canon EOS RP specifications

any ideas why x-sync? (flash sync?) seems to be lower on the new R cameras? found 1/250th on the 80D often wasn't quick enough for faster moving objects.
Compared to? 6D series are also 1/180. 5D series are 1/200. The smaller curtained APS-C mid & high-range xD & xxD are 1/250.

I hope so!
I checked and this limitation is mentioned amongst the M50 specs.
So yes, here, it hasn't been disabled.

A more complete overview on the video specs:
Internally everything is IPB codec

-4k 24p/30p is in APS-C mode (probably 1.6x)
-1080p 24p/30p can be shot in FF or APS-C mode as well, the latter is much crisper as it is downsampled (but worse rolling shutter), like on the EOS R or 1D C.
-1080p 50p/60p will be selectable only in FF mode, just like the EOS R (one cannot use EF-S lenses for 50p/60p recording)

FF 1080p quality may be the same as the 6DII or improved


Battery life will be worse than an M5(smaller sensor, same battery) and almost the same as the M50 (smaller sensor, even smaller battery).

It's not about new R's, it's about the larger sensor. The 6D(2) has 1/180s, the 5D series 1/200s, only the 1DX(2) has an x-sync of 1/250s. All else being equal it takes longer for the shutter blades to traverse a larger sensor. It's not a coincidence that the 80D's sync speed is close to 1.6 times as fast as that of the 6D and its cousins.

Nice little camera, nice little spec list. :)
Now let's hope for a nice little price. :cautious:

Only thing that makes me always shake my head:
X-sync: 1/180 sec
Canon why do you think you'll have to cut here? :rolleyes:
Model segmentation like on the 5D vs 6D bodies. 1/200 vs 1/180. To be expected. Same with the 1/4000 top SS. No biggie in this price segment.
