Our Verdict

Canon EOS R

Canon EOS RP

The Canon EOS R is better overall than the Canon EOS RP. It's a more premium camera with better build quality, including weather-sealing, a higher-resolution electronic viewfinder, and a higher-resolution sensor, not to mention a significantly longer battery life and slightly quicker burst shooting. The RP is a much more portable full-frame camera, if that's a priority, and still captures excellent image quality. Both cameras also use the same lens mount, and lenses will have a much bigger impact on your photography, so the best option between these two will be whichever one suits your budget and ergonomic preferences.
