I've always had a soft spot for the brilliant Canon EOS RP – and now it's even softer, as this fantastic full-frame camera is now its lowest ever price: just £749 and is one of the standout bargains in Amazon's two-day Big Deal Days camera deals
If you're looking to go full frame or thinking about upgrading to mirrorless – or maybe both – this is a steal of a deal on a camera that cost £1,400 at launch!
I fell in love with the Canon EOS RP (review here) from the moment I used it. At just 485g it's still one of the lightest full-frame mirrorless cameras on the market – and it really does feel slim and sleek in the hand, with a very compact body. (I enjoyed pairing it with the RF 35mm f/1.8 as a street photography shooter.)
It's a first-generation EOS R camera, being the second body in the lineup when it launched in 2019. However, with quality of life firmware updates over the years it has aged like a fine plonk.
At its core it shares a lot in common with the Canon EOS 6D Mark II, with a glorious 24.6MP image sensor and 5fps burst shooting. However, it benefits from Canon's mirrorless magic when it comes to the upgraded Dual Pixel Autofocus system along with the electronic viewfinder.
The only real drawback is that 4K video introduces a 1.6x crop and uses contrast AF instead of Dual Pixel. Otherwise, this is an incredible camera for just £799.
