We’ve returned to the 26.2mp sensor in the EOS RP

If that's the exact 6DII sensor, Canon is going to be burried alive in a subsequent reviews ....

They'll probably have of chip AD/C in this one which should make a difference. I'm not clued up on the 6Dii, what was so bad?

It's the logical thing to do, other things that would be logical to differentiate from the EOS R would be: no headphone jack, no C-Log, IPB compression (UHS-II support not needed).
It's like a M5 with an M50 articulating screen and a FF sensor with RF mount.

I don't think it will be changed.
It depends, but the dynamic range it is much more like the 5D Mark III (maybe a little bit better), certainly inferior to the the Mark IV / EOS R and also somewhat behind 5Ds/5DsR

6DII most probably uses on-chip ADC and the base ISO performance is worse than even the APS-C 80D. While the 6DII is still capable of making perfect photos, in certain conditions, the worse results than its APS-C siblins, are a bummer.

... and also behind the APS-C 80D, M5, M6 ... weird, isn't it?

Only at the base ISO. In real-world, it is clearly better.

I just hope its a new sensor and not 6D mk2 sensor or else the reviews are going to be terrible to say the least.

Well, the 6D mark I was better in ISO image quality

please please a new sensor.. not the 18MP sensor story again....

Not necessarily, since for the time being, the camera has no real direct competition, only much older Sony models.

Andrei · Feb 6, 2019

This is not good...o nooo...not good
Hope just it is a false alarm
Canon...please...make a ff sensor with at least 13.5 stops dr
Crap crap crap...
Market strategy just to boost seales for eor R

If you want performance because you 'need' it, spend some proper money.

... ah, another use-your-wallet apologist for the 8 year old technology ....

ozturert · Feb 6, 2019

I was thinking I could buy RP but if the base ISO DR is as bad as 6D II then I'll pass

Crack on,
Talking about a 'budget' camera like it should have professional specs is a familiar line.
General rule of thumb here is, 'you pay for what you get'

docsmith · Feb 6, 2019

At the price points being discussed, what else would we really expect from Canon?

LP-E17? This is a M/Rebel battery. This will be a relatively inexpensive basic camera body. I am expecting a lot of plastic and the 6DII sensor. But at a low price point.

Don't worry, I get your thinking. We have freely decided to pass on the 6D II, saved a bit and went for the 5DIV instead, so in the end, Canon got even more money from us

The trouble is, I don't consider it being a budget solution for the "professional line", if the lower line 80D, M5 and M6 have better low light performance.

After the 6DII release I told to myself, that Canon had to be under some time or budget or production line pressure, and that Canon will not repeat the same mistake again. I just hope I was right.

You should try actually using a 6DII. No way I’d change mine for any of the cameras you mentioned, especially for low light photography.
