Already the least expensive full-frame camera at launch, now it is even more affordable, with the lowest price I have seen according to CamelCamelCamel. Suits beginner moving to full frame. $50 less with Shopback or 5% less with CashRewards, plus $50 Canon rebate, add up to a bigger chunk of discounts.
With $50 Shopback and $50 Canon rebate: $1542.95
With 5% CashRewards and $50 Canon rebate: $1510.80
There is a review here: https://www.techradar.com/au/reviews/canon-eos-rp-review
The Canon EOS RP is among the smallest and lightest full-frame cameras on the market, and is the least expensive full-frame camera at launch, ever. And though its specifications aren't going to set the world on fire, the RP is a likable little camera with solid JPEG image quality that will be a fine photographic companion for casual users and those already within the Canon ecosystem looking for a compact second body.
[Key specifications:]

26.2MP Dual Pixel CMOS sensor
4K/24p (from 1.7x crop region)
4 fps continuous shooting with continuous AF (5 without)
Pupil detection AF in continous/Servo AF mode
AF rated to -5EV (with an F1.2 lens)
Digic 8 processor
2.36M dot OLED viewfinder
Fully-articulated 1.04M dot touchscreen
Twin command dials
CIPA rated to 250 shots per charge

Get the EF adapter and you have endless choices of low cost EF lenses out there, new and used. The Canon EF adapter on Amazon is also a bargain:
https://www.amazon.com.au/Canon-Mount-Adapter-EF-EOS-R/dp/B0…
After 12% Shopback, it is $135.40
Reviews have claimed that the EF lenses work even better on the R cameras than on the cameras they were originally designed for.

        Since I’m buying from Amazon, do I get cashback from CashRewards or ShopBack?

        • Buy2Much on 19/04/2019 - 15:30

          Yes there are discounts from both.

    It might be the cheapest but the new RF lenses are quite expensive (over $1600 for a zoom) so unless you already have canon EF lenses and then once you factor the cost of the EF adapter you are now around $2k which is around the price of the Sony A7 III which is a much better spec'd full frame camera.

    • LukeOz83 on 19/04/2019 - 06:33

      You still have to factor in the lenses though. Although A7III may have better specs, if you have EF lenses already, this would be a good option.

      • [Deactivated] on 19/04/2019 - 12:25

        Enough with the "good option" rubbish already. The A7III has 30% more dynamic range. Even a G9 (m43) has a stop more DR than this pile of junk.

            @Quarn: You didn't read the reviews did you?

            DPReview on image quality:
            "…the EOS RP's performance is behind that of EOS M50, despite the latter's smaller sensor."

            And Richard Butler's take:
            "…from a purely technical point of view it isn't very good. And yet it's a camera I've really enjoyed shooting with: the things it gets right are fundamentals of camera operation. This doesn't blind me to its numerous shortcomings."

            It only mustered a pass mark because, as gets revealed in the conclusion, they inexplicably created an entirely new scoring category for it. So it had no competition. If they measured it against the contemporaries it would've been savaged.

        • thebadmachine on 19/04/2019 - 20:30

          I agree with the dynamic range (common throughout Canon sensors) and other shortcomings of the RP, but I think the buyers/target market (amateurs/enthusiasts) for these ‘entry-level’ models will be content with the specs / ease of use.

          Disclaimer: I think the cost of mirrorless & their native lenses is way too high and therefore have little interest in them.

    • Andy01 on 19/04/2019 - 07:39

      And Sony lenses are generally a fair bit dearer than Canon lenses. Anyone who buys an R or RP is almost guaranteed to buy an adapter, and there are plenty of cheaper EF lenses available.

      • BigglesKDH on 19/04/2019 - 15:00

        I think this is a bit of a myth, maybe if you buy second hand lenses.
        I don't think you can use ef-m lenses on the r & rp so that rules out a lot of the cheap canon glass and the ef and ef-s cost the same or more than Sony lenses.
        the only plus would be a larger range of ef lenses (but they can be pricey)

        • Buy2Much on 19/04/2019 - 15:47

          I do own both Sony A7 II and Canon EOS R. I have purchased lenses for both, new and used. I'd find that there are a larger number of EF lenses to choose from, and a lot more on the second hand market for any kind of budget. It is easier to find the Canon lenses I want at the price that suits my wallet than the A7. Just saying as it is, to inform people on a budget who are interested in full frame.

          • thebadmachine on 19/04/2019 - 20:35

            @Buy2Much: Yes I think Canon has a large portion of the market (ease of finding the right lens + used market).
            They are aware of this, therefore are quite confident in releasing new cameras later then the rest which are slightly inferior in certain specification to the rest of the market.

    • cloud68 on 19/04/2019 - 09:18

      With $2K mark you get Sony with No lenses

      • BigglesKDH on 19/04/2019 - 15:03

        Yes but a Rp + adapter is also around 2k with no lenses.

    • Buy2Much on 19/04/2019 - 15:31

      The EF adapter is only ~136 from Amazon after Shopback 12% discount. With Shopback/Cashrewards and Canon rebate, all up under 1700 for both camera and adapter.

    • Buy2Much on 19/04/2019 - 18:09

      The premium L series RF zoom 24-105mm, not $1600:

  • ankor on 19/04/2019 - 10:19

    If you're paying >$1,600, why are you limiting yourself so much with such a gimped body and battery life?

    It'd be better to just go all-in for a fuji xt-2 or xt-3 as their lens lineup absolutely kills this. It's apsc, but unless you're shooting at f/1.4 on full-frame you don't really, really notice that difference

    • [Deactivated] on 20/04/2019 - 08:34

      this. to be competitive with established mirrorless lines, this body needs to be priced much lower, and it will be eventually

  • Georgevic on 19/04/2019 - 18:15

    If I'm buying a full frame, I'm not gonna get one that doesn't even have a log profile or good 4k autofocus and not even external 10bit output.

    And neither of them even have 120fps 1080p sigh, buying into Canon for video was such a dumb mistake. I should be excited by this deal :(

    • [Deactivated] on 20/04/2019 - 08:37

      Canon and video is a sad story, Canon is a photo camera that tries to also shoot video, and Sony is the other way around. the difference is that Sony managed to do great in photography department, and Canon never moved much ahead in video.

      • Georgevic on 20/04/2019 - 11:38

        Sad thing is I'm sure they could easily have these features on the camera, they just keep them off. The m50 has great video features for its price point… RP is fullframe and 3x the price, come on!

        • [Deactivated] on 20/04/2019 - 15:25

          I think they are doing the wrong thing altogether. they would have stirred much more excitement if they just released original 5d classic just the way it was, without changing a thing (maybe adding a couple of absolutely essential features like lens profiles and auto ISO in every shooting mode, maybe a couple more to keep it simple, maybe bump the sensor up to 16mp), and position that as the true entry level full frame camera. that would be a huge success.

          yes they would make less on each unit, but imagine how many people they would have attracted onto the EOS-EF system from other systems who would like to try full frame camera on a budget. EF lens lineup is already impressive and is much cheaper than any Sony or Fujifilm counterpart.
