- So this is the quick look of this Canon EOS RP.
(dragon dancing music in background)
I have to keep reminding,
reminding myself it's not PR.
RP, RP.
It's EOS RP because this is the second camera
from the EOS R, last time EOS R
It's just not too many months ago.
I didn't really expect that they release
a second EOS R that quick.
Well as they say EOS RP.
P stand for popular
because they want this to be popular.
That's why this is the cheapest full-frame mirrorless ever.
I mean, around all the current full-frame mirrorless,
even the first Sony full-frame mirrorless,
which is the a7,
still a little bit more expensive than this EOS RP.
Basically this is their killer feature
price it is the cheapest.
And also latest, I mean,
when you don't consider the lens.
I mean of course, well of course,
the full-frame lens can't be smaller.
The lens have to be a full-framed lens.
so it has to be big and heavy.
But the camera, well basically the same
thing with Sony, small camera body, big lens.
And this is really, this is really proper light and small.
This is basically the same size as Sony a7.
So actually how small is the RP?
Well nobody is as crazy as Sony
to make full-frame mirrorless so small and thin until now.
The RP is as small as thin as Sony.
Now this camera body is polycarbonate magnesium chassis
Char Siu!
So it is a magnesium inside but plastic outside.
Which is fine, I mean, you have to find some way
to make it cheaper because this is RP.
It's not R expensive, it's not RE.
Something I'm really glad
is that the grip is not bad.
The grip is a little bit smaller than the EOS R
which is expected which is, I mean, acceptable
but it is not bad.
It is better, definitely better than my Sony.
This is still a pretty good grip.
It's better than a lot of entry-level DSLR.
Now if you don't like the overly innovative EOS R control
this is a more traditional control
because you got this more traditional mode dial.
Canon always get their on/off button on different places
across their different camera
but yeah, you just have to get over it.
I mean, yeah every other button, dial
you can access from the right side or from the right hand
but you can't pick it up to shoot
just with your right hand
because the on/off button is on the left side.
You always have to pick it up both hand,
like we respect, like arigatou
and turn it on.
It got two dial though.
That's good, that's good for entry-level.
That's good for a cheap camera.
I mean a cheap full-frame.
And function button, that's a lock switch here
which you can set it up to lock different things,
lock dials or lock the touch screen.
I set it up to lock the touch screen
so if I'm shooting videos or something like that,
I can lock it so I don't accidentally press
and change autofocus points.
Actually quite hilariously,
this feels more like an on/off button.
Like a few times I pick it up,
I want to turn it on from here.
At the back is exactly the same.
It got a flip screen.
All these button exactly the same as EOS R,
probably exactly the same as a lot of Canon DSLR as well.
Menu button here.
Quick menu.
In my opinion, this is still the best interface,
touch screen interface, ever on any camera.
See anything, you touch that.
You touch that, you got it.
On the side, other than the mic jack,
it's good to see you,
headphone jack.
Long time no see.
And you find a mini HDMI port and a usb-c port.
With the usb-c port, you can charge the battery with usb-c.
Like the EOS R,
it has to be an actual usb-c power source,
not a usual, not the old usb-a port.
It just won't work with that.
Now something I'm really glad
that all these new full-frame mirrorless have these days,
not even, not even full-frame,
even Fuji have it,
which is manual focus ring sensitivity
linked to rotation speed
so that now, when you do manual focusing
it rotate exactly the same as you expected,
not like it will accelerate for you.
Well to be honest it's nothing wrong
with all the specs
it kind of like not as good,
kind of sounds like it's not as good.
(upbeat music)
Is it really bad?
I think not really.
It's cheap.
I'm not saying that because it's cheap
so it could be bad.
But it's not bad.
It's not bad at all.
Well you're not going to be sport photo
with this because 4 FPS AFC or AFS 5 FPS,
is really, yeah it's less than EOS R,
but EOS R is not that much better anyway.
Let just say both are not far from a sport camera.
Not really, not really for anything action.
But these days, there are no bad camera these day.
Every camera can take really great pictures
if you know how to use it.
Or even if you don't know how to use it
the auto intelligent thing is so good.
And don't forget the dual pixel AF
is still industry gold standard.
It's probably the best mirrorless AF system,
for now, for now.
(soft music)
(men and children playing drums and music)
Right there I'm attempting to shoot this
with a 24-105mm lens.
It's bloody huge! 24 is not really
that wide enough for selfie I think.
And it's quite heavy, look at that.
Actually the weight distribution is pretty good
because all the weight is on the lens,
because just because the body is so light.
So shooting video with this is kind of,
yeah it kind of so-so,
because 1080 is fine.
You can shoot 24, 25, 30p
and even 50 or 60p
so you can take a little bit of slow motion.
And it got dual pixel AF,
but the dual pixel AF doesn't work with 4K.
And 4K still got the same 1.7x Crop
just like the EOS R.
Why only the EOS R have it
so the EOS RP, the cheaper one, of course it has it.
Since all the EOS R,
last time I tried a EF-S lens on the EOS R,
shooting 4K with the 1.7x Crop
it kind of fit with the crop lens 1.6x Crop.
So if you're going to shoot 4K
I think it's good idea to use an EF-S lens.
One slight problem with this EOS RP
is that when you're shooting 4K
that's no dual pixel AF.
It's back to contrast AF.
It works but it won't be as good.
Now this don't have C-Log support.
So you only have those usual picture style.
Those portrait, landscape, whatever.
And I don't know why
it only got full auto or full manual.
Shutter speed of course it has to be,
it is set to one, only one shutter speed.
If you're serious about taking video,
and then you have to manually adjust the aperture.
You can't have auto aperture on this camera.
Unless you get this, all auto, full auto.
You can set auto ISO
but why don't give me S mode to use
because EOS R give you all the exposure mode
you can use in video mode.
Not this.
Something really weird,
the same thing as EOS R is that
see, now I have level, electronic levelling display.
If I choose face tracking,
apparently Canon thinks that people
who use face tracking
doesn't need to level their camera.
Like why?
Why discriminate towards people using face tracking?
Face tracking got feelings too.
Well back in my days
I shoot with film.
And then there was digital SLR.
So DSLR.
At that time there was a first time
I learned something about crop factor
because turns out,
at that time DSLR has a smaller sensor than film.
At that time, I keep thinking
that's just a period of transition.
When technology catch up,
we will have full-frame DSLR.
Turns out, instead everyone just change to use smart phone.
(laughs)
But anyway for people like us
who still use a camera, camera,
a real camera, to take photos.
This is the first time
full-frame camera is, well, I mean,
full-frame mirrorless camera is affordable.
Kind of.
This is the cheapest
full-frame mirrorless camera,
actually the cheapest full-frame digital camera ever.
Here it is, Canon EOS RP, not PR.
