![]() ![]() A lot of the native lenses created for the camera are almost as expensive, if not more than the camera body itself, and while this is fairly common it does mean you could rack up a £2,500 camera.Ĭanon only recently entered the full-frame mirrorless space with the EOS R, which launched last year, before the EOS RP was released this year. Yes it's affordable, but as soon as you add a lens to the mix, that tantalising price tag is vanquished. You shouldn't really focus on the body cost for this camera. This works as a nice pairing but obviously is not something available to all videographers. There were occasionally some issues with skin tones, mainly in the highlights as it seemed to blow them out a little in certain lighting scenarios, so it’s certainly not a perfect video camera.įor example, would use a wide-angle with the main camera and then the 24-105mm F4 kit lenses or an EF 24-70mm f2.8 with an adapter to get the details. As a B-video camera, it works a treat, especially if you have a different focal length lens mounted. We found the RP most useful as a secondary B-camera, supplementing our main shooter. If it's mounted to a tripod there isn't so much of an issue but in sport, or where you're moving a lot it can cause you some issues. There is a fairly substantial issue of rolling shutter, which can occasionally make clips completely unusable. However, if this is not something you’re after or you’re not too fussed about 4K then they have 50 fps options for 1080p. One thing to note is that it has a crop factor when in 4K and you can only record up to 25 fps, meaning you can’t get that lovely slow-motion B-roll. During a particularly tricky shoot, it handled low-light really well. It’s a brighter story for video as there are a range of fps options and even 4K on its full-from sensor. Using the raw processing software in photoshop you can really see where the camera’s drawback are and they are mainly its ability to boost shadows. The best bet for the RP (in terms of stills) is to make sure they look great in the camera because you really don’t want to mess with it too much in post because that’s when significant amounts of grain tend to flood in. That said, we still managed to get some good shots of skateboarders in action, but there is less power there than some of its Sony counterparts. ![]() It's perhaps not a great camera for sports as the maximum approximate 5 fps speed continuous shooting isn’t among the best in class. While picture quality is usable if you nail your settings, we found the camera to be inconsistent overall. However, the biggest caveat here is the fact there's no in-body stabilisation, making it a lot harder to get a good low-light shot without too much noise (a bi-product or ramping up the ISO). In low light, however, due to its good ISO performance (Auto 100-40000), you can still get the shot when a scene is pretty dark. This is handy given the fact the camera doesn't have in-body stabilisation, meaning you have to crank up the shutter speed to around 1/125 and ISO to compensate. At lower ISO the camera is not as strong as some of its rivals either but it does handle low light well due to the larger sensor. Scenes with bright highlights and dark shadows see the RP struggle and its rivals surpass it. Pushing shadows is also problematic in the camera as it creates a lot of noise in photographs. The camera’s high dynamic range (HDR) processing is unusual and tends to really blow out highlights. ![]()
