Full-frame has long been the gold standard for many professional photographers looking to marry superb image quality with high-speed performance. However, full-frame has also been opened up to amateurs and smartphone upgraders, too, by way of shoestring models like theCanon EOS RP.

Released in March 2019 for just $1,299 / £1,399, the five-year-old entry-level mirrorless model remains an excellent camera today and it just dropped to its lowest-ever price, just$899 at Adoramain the US or£799 at London Camera Exchangein the UK.

Arguably the best deal in the US is picking up theEOS RP with 24-104mm F4-7.1 lens for $1,199 at Adorama– that’s around half the price it was at launch in 2019.

Today’s best Canon EOS RP deal in the US

Canon EOS RP (body only):was $999now$899 at AdoramaYou won’t get cutting edge tech in an entry-level Canon camera, but the EOS RP is still a highly capable all-rounder, especially for those primarily interested in photography. The full-frame 26.2MP sensor delivers superb detail and natural colors, with speeds up to 5fps. Canon is continually adding new RF lenses to the range, too, so you’ll find the right bit of glass for whatever photography you’re into. If you are buying Canon for the first time, we’d recommend the deal below which also includes the decent 24-105mm kit lens.

Today’s best UK deal for the Canon EOS RP

We awarded 4.5 stars to the now $900 / £800 camera in ourCanon EOS RP review, saying it is a “much more compelling proposition for those looking to move to full-frame mirrorless shooting than pricier theEOS R”.

It packs a 26.2MP full-frame sensor for sharp photos with natural color, a 3.0-inch vari-angle touchscreen ideal for selfies,Canon’s highly regarded dual-pixel autofocus, plus a respectable 5fps burst shooting.

Naturally you’ll sacrifice high-end features such as weather-sealing and in-body image stablization, while4Kvideo is cropped and battery life is a sub-par 250-shots.

However, the EOS RP is even easier to recommend now than in was at launch because Canon has been particularly active making new RF lenses for its full-frame mirrorless cameras.

Back in 2019 there were so few lenses, but in 2024 there are superb lens options for any budget, including compact lenses to match the small body of the EOS RP. We recently wrote a piece celebrating theEOS R camera system turning 5that further unpacks why cameras like the EOS RP are worth looking into today.
