Canon EOS RP vs Sony A7 II – Five key points analysed

Over the years we’ve seen a progressive decrease in the price of full frame cameras. Following the first double-grip bodies released in early 2000 that cost in excess of $5k, Canon introduced the first serious price drop with the original 5D which was launched at around $3300. Lower end models such as the Nikon D600 and Canon 6D followed later, bringing the average price down to the $2000 mark.

This year, Canon has pushed the price down further by introducing the EOS RP to the mirrorless segment, but they aren’t the only ones ready to play the affordable camera card.

Nikon Z6 vs Sony A7 III – The complete comparison

Updated on: March 4th, 2020

The Sony A7 III is the most popular full frame camera on the market, and it has been since its release. As I’ve explained in other articles, it checks all the boxes and is competitively priced. In fact, camera stores often have to back-order it.

Panasonic S1R vs Sony A7R III – Quick comparison

After seeing a pre-production version during the launch event in Spain, I was able to get my hands on the Panasonic S1R a second time just before heading off on a trip to Scotland.

Being able to use a brand new camera in an inspiring location like the Scottish Highlands was a great opportunity, but it wasn’t possible to keep it for much longer after my return. Sadly this meant that I didn’t have time to produce a full comparison with another product.

That being said, I still wanted to write about the camera and one of its main competitors, the Sony A7R mark III. So in the little time I had, I took some quick side-by-side shots to show you the basic differences in image quality.

Fujifilm X-T30 vs Sony a6400 – Five key aspects analysed

Canon EOS R vs EOS RP – Five key points analysed

Updated on: March 4th, 2020

The EOS R and EOS RP are Canon’s first two full-frame mirrorless cameras. The RP model came after the R and boasts a more attractive price for those looking for an affordable 35mm format model.

The two products have much in common, including 4K video, Dual Pixel CMOS AF and a very similar interface. There are of course some differences as well and that’s why we spent an extended period with both to highlight all the most important ones. In addition to performing objective side-by-side tests, I was also curious to see which camera I would personally end up preferring.
