More dynamic range is something that gives more flexibility when editing.

Dynamic Rangeįor the most part dynamic range doesn’t have a whole lot to do with image quality for a SOOC photo.
#Canon eos r vs eos rp iso
If you’re the type who shoots at 100 ISO all the time, then the RP might be just fine for you. The R also produces nicer colors and smoother gradations at higher ISOs.įor anyone accustomed to shooting at different ISO settings the R will be a better option. I wouldn’t make a choice based on megapixels alone.īoth cameras control noise really well but the R ends up besting the RP in this regard above 1600 ISO. If the R has more detail from its 30.3 MP sensor it’s a minor to non-existent advantage by around 800 ISO. Details and colors are also similar between the two. Under 1600 ISO the cameras are pretty similar, but the RP has slightly worse shadow retention at any given ISO. But that is because I took a bunch of action photos with it during the ceremony then put it away.īoth camera’s are below average on battery life, but the EOS R probably wins because it can be used with a battery grip. I have used it at weddings as a second camera only shooting intermittently and managed in the 400-500 range. In normal conditions with a new battery it will deliver 200-400 shots in real world use. The RP is a little less than the R but it also has a smaller battery. Despite this the EOS R does have a battery grip, so if you absolutely need that extra battery life you can get that for the EOS R with the grip. It doesn’t last more than 2-3 years of regular use and costs a pretty penny to replace. I’m not a big fan of the LP-E6 battery that the EOS R comes with. Because of this the Canon EOS RP wins the build quality test by having a more durable shutter. If that breaks the camera is a useless brick. No matter how well made any part of the camera is the shutter is the most important thing. Personally I find that to be unacceptable for the R’s shutter to die so quickly. The EOS R has had to have it’s shutter replaced after less than 100,000 pictures taken. We’ve taken many thousands of pictures with it and never had a problem. It may appear that the RP has worse build quality, but one thing the RP has is a long lasting shutter. From a functional standpoint there isn’t much of a difference, but the EOS R’s setup is definitely the slightly more convenient method for accessing the SD card. But, while the Canon EOS R has a dedicated memory compartment the RP has it’s memory slot located inside the battery door next to the battery. While the screen isn’t perfect for every use case, it is one of the best flip screens available due to the many ways it can be positioned.īoth camera’s use SD cards.

It also will flip completely around and let you see the screen while taking a selfie with it. Don’t dunk your RP in water with the grip extension attached!īoth camera’s have Canon’s standard flippy screen which makes shooting at waist level in portrait or landscape orientation super easy. With the addition of the grip the R feels like a traditional pro-level camera in hand.īoth camera’s are said to be weather sealed, however, the EOS RP’s grip extension does break this weather sealing on the battery compartment of the RP. The EOS R also has a battery grip accessory that extends the shooting time and gives the R a vertical (portrait) grip as well as vertical controls. Canon makes a grip extension for the RP which doesn’t do anything in particular except make the RP a little weightier and taller. For my larger hands I would say that the R seems to be a good fit, while the RP is a little too small. In fact, it seems just as well made as the R does. The EOS RP is lighter and smaller but that doesn’t mean it seems poorly made. Build Qualityīoth cameras are built solid, but the EOS R is definitely the more robust and solid feeling of the two. It is a little faster shooting, has a little better AF, a little faster shutter, a little better video quality, etc. What can be said is that the R is a bit better in a variety of different ways. But there isn’t a single specification to point to as a “wow” advantage over the RP. The biggest difference is honestly the weight and size of the two cameras. Looking at specifications alone it’s tough to see the justification for the R’s higher price point. In the following chart you can see the main specs for each camera: Camera Many people have asked this question, which should they get? An RP or an R? The answer is: read on to find out!
