Not long after the release of the ground-breaking Canon EOS R, the global imaging leader has launched the second addition to its new range of full-frame interchangeable-lens mirrorless cameras, the Canon EOS RP. Canon’s newest full-frame is its most compact and lightest model yet in the EOS full-frame series but delivers a performance that punches above its weight. The EOS RP features the new RF lens mount, Canon’s proprietary DIGIC 8 image processor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, and an enhanced ergonomics for unparalleled optical excellence with easy operability.
“The addition of the EOS RP to Canon’s growing range of EOS full-frame system is not only a testament to the brand’s commitment of continuously pushing forward the frontiers of photography but is also in line with our goal of further extending access to photography for aspiring photographers. Smaller, lighter, and more affordable, the EOS RP will surely delight photography professionals and enthusiasts alike,” said Benny Yu, Canon Marketing (Philippines), Inc. (CMPI) Head of Consumer Imaging and Information division.
Cementing the EOS Legacy
Powered by the EOS R system technology, the EOS RP is equipped with the RF lens mount that sports a short flange focal distance of 20mm which is meant to open possibilities in lens design and innovation. Using a mount adapter, existing EOS users would be able to utilize their collection of EF and EF-S lenses with the new EOS RP. It embodies the familiar, reliable features of Canon’s EOS performance and excellent ergonomics, delivering an unparalleled image quality that caters to both advanced photographers and those venturing into full-frame cameras. Its Feature Assistant also allows easy navigation helping users maximize each feature to produce better images.
Exceptional Image Quality and Details
Driven by Canon’s advanced DIGIC 8 image processor and with Auto Lighting Optimizer feature that balances the brightest and darkest points for a well exposed image, the EOS RP is able to deliver superb image quality in any situation. It is equipped with a 26.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and a native ISO range of 100-40,000 that can be expanded to an ISO range of 50-102,400 for vivid, low-noise images with crisp details even in low light situations.
The Dual Sensing IS of the EOS RP detects camera shaking for effective image stabilization that allows users to capture images at a shutter speed of up to five stops slower, especially useful in low-light situations. It also has an in-camera Digital Lens Optimizer that corrects aberrations, diffraction, and optical distortions as you shoot, producing excellent image quality right out of the camera.
Clever Engineering for a Sharp Focus
With Dual Pixel CMOS AF that provides a smooth and incredibly fast autofocus speed of up to 0.05 seconds, users can capture images of fleeting moments and create unique compositions without worrying about the focus using the 4,779 selectable AF positions within the expanded AF area. Its minimum AF luminance of EV-5 further provides accurate focus even in poorly lit conditions while the Eye Detection AF which even works in Servo AF mode detects and ensures that the subject’s eye is always in focus even when moving and at wide open aperture.
