If you've been looking to make the jump to mirrorless and / or the jump to full-frame photography, I think I've found the best Cyber Monday camera deal for you!
The rather wonderful Canon EOS RP is currently just £792 – a huge £257.99 saving. Getting a full-frame mirrorless camera for under a grand is an amazing deal – and my advice is to use the cash you save to grab one of Canon's affordable RF primes, which I'll recommend below…
I think the Canon EOS RP (review) might be the coolest member of the EOS R family. It's a few years old now, but it's still one of my favorite bodies to shoot with!
It's the slimmest of Canon's full-frame cameras, making it ideal for stills shooters who want to stay nimble and responsive. And if you're upgrading from an APS-C system, this is a full-frame body that won't feel massive in your hands – not something I can say for many full-frame cameras these days.
The RP's 26.2MP image sensor records beautiful images. Its 5fps burst mode isn't really intended for fast action, but it's useful for capturing the decisive moment in street photography or getting great shots of your kids playing. The autofocus system is nice and accurate, too, with functions like Eye AF to help you nail your shots.
If you're going to shoot a lot of video then this may not be the camera for you; 4K video drops phase detect for contrast-based autofocus, and it also suffers a 1.6x crop. However, as a pure stills camera, I love the RP – and it pairs perfectly with Canon's pocket-sized and wallet-friendly primes.
With the money you save on the body, I would recommend picking up either the RF 50mm f/1.8 that's fantastic for all-purpose photography (and is currently a bargain at just £135) or the super-slim RF 28mm f/2.8 pancake lens, which is great for things like street photography and landscapes (and is just £275 right now).
Take a look at the best Canon RF lenses, and don't forget that you can also use the best Canon lenses for DSLRs via an affordable add-on adapter. Check out the best Canon Cyber Monday deals for more great offers!
