The lightweight, mirrorless Canon EOS RP makes it easy to step into a full-frame camera. The high-resolution 26.2-megapixel CMOS sensor and powerful DIGIC 8 processor allow for vast creative possibilities with features such as fast, accurate autofocus, 4K video, and a variety of Creative Assist functions. Intuitive controls, comfortable ergonomics, and a variable-angle LCD screen make the EOS RP simple to use so you can take full advantage of these expansive features.
The lightest, smallest full-frame EOS camera.
For all their appealing features one of the concerns of using a full-frame camera has been its larger profile, however, the EOS RP is the lightest and smallest Canon EOS full-frame camera to date. * Weighing approx. 440g (body only) while being impressively compact and comfortable to use, the EOS RP is more convenient to carry, shoot with, and store than any previous EOS full-frame camera before.
RF Mount compatible with RF lenses and EF lenses*
Engineered to work seamlessly with RF lenses, the EOS RP also maintains complete compatibility with EF and EF-S lenses by using one of three optional Mount Adapters. When using EF-S lenses, the EOS RP even crops automatically to reflect the APS-C sized sensor the lenses are designed for.
* Optional Mount Adapter EF-EOS R is required when using EF lenses with an EOS R camera.
54mm Large Diameter and Short Back Focus
The RF mount on the EOS RP camera has a large, 54mm internal diameter - the same as the EOS R - enabling impressive handling and providing increased flexibility for lens design. Thanks to the camera's mirrorless design, the lens's rear element can be much closer to the image plane. This reduced back focus distance, combined with the RF mount's 54mm diameter, helps facilitate lenses of stellar optical quality and stunning performance while enabling innovative compact camera and lens designs.
20mm Flange Focal Distance for Increased Durability
All RF lenses feature a 20mm flange focal distance, which is the distance from the lens mount to the surface of the image sensor. This flange focal distance balances the benefits of short back focus with the engineering requirements necessary for mount stability. Accordingly, the RF mount's flange focal distance ensures excellent optical performance while maintaining the mount rigidity and camera durability necessary for real-world operation.
12 Pins for Quickly Communicating Large Amounts of Information
With a robust 12 pin connection between the camera and the lens, the EOS RP camera and RF lenses are able to communicate at a high speed, transferring a large amount of data and information for incredibly fast AF, plus enhanced image stabilization and optimization.
Variety of Mount Adapter Options for Expanded Compatibility with EF/EF-S Lenses
Mount adapters, such as the Mount Adapter EF-EOS R, deliver seamless connections between the EOS RP camera and EF and EF-S lenses with all functions intact. Offering L series level weather and dust sealing, the Mount Adapter EF-EOS R is even compatible with EF extenders like the Extender EF 1.4x III to extend your camera's optical reach. Beyond enabling use of EF and EF-S lenses on the EOS RP camera, the Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R and the Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R add functions that open up a number of new possibilities for creative image capture.

ISO 40000
The EOS RP camera has a standard ISO sensitivity range of 100-40000 for stills and 100-25600 for video (100-12800 for 4K video shooting). Combined with the EOS RP camera's remarkable low-light AF performance, still and video shooting is possible even in dark situations.
Digital Lens Optimizer
The EOS RP camera has an in-camera Digital Lens Optimizer that works with RF lenses (and EF/EF-S lenses with a Mount Adapter) to provide a substantial improvement in image quality. The Digital Lens Optimizer limits deterioration in image quality caused by low-pass filters or wide-aperture lens designs. It's usable both during shooting and when developing RAW data, and does not affect continuous shooting speeds. Data from compatible EF and EF-S lenses is built into the camera, and data information from RF lenses is transferred near instantly through the EOS RP's 12 pin communication system.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF for fast and accurate autofocus
High-speed Focusing in Approx. 0.05 sec.***
The EOS RP camera's highly responsive Dual Pixel CMOS AF system features 4,779 manually selectable AF points** and can deliver sharp focus within approximately 0.05 seconds***. This means fast action can be captured and focus can be maintained with speed, accuracy and ease.

For example, users can take ultra-telescopic 800mm shots using a compact EF 100-400mm f/4-5.6 IS II lens together with an EF 2x III extender, and AF will function properly over the entire field. When used with a III-type extender, the effective AF range is limited to an area roughly 88% x 100% of the total image frame, or 80% x 80% if combined with a I/II type extender.
Variety of AF Modes including Eye Detection AF
The EOS RP camera's Face+ Tracking mode helps enhance reliability for tracking moving subjects. When the camera detects a human face, it uses the subject's eye as the AF point, choosing the eye closest to the camera by default. Photographers can also select which eye to focus on by touching the screen or using the camera's AF point selection button and cross keys. Eye Detection AF can also be used in conjunction with Servo AF and Movie AF modes.
Focus Peaking
Among the EOS RP camera's manual focus aids, Focus Peaking helps establish the focus area quickly and clearly. With manual focus peaking, the outline of the area in focus is indicated by a coloured line. Focus Peaking is usable in conjunction with the EOS RP's Focus Guide feature, and can be customized with peaking colour and detection level specifications that fit the project at hand.
