Is the EOS RP good for beginners?

Yes. The Feature Assistant and Creative Assist explain settings on screen, and the grip and touchscreen make it easy to handle. It is a full-frame camera, so lenses are larger and pricier than crop-sensor kits.

Can I use my old Canon EF lenses on it?

Yes, with an EF-EOS R mount adapter. EF and EF-S lenses work, though EF-S lenses put the camera into a crop mode.

Does it shoot 4K video well?

It records 4K at 24p, but with a heavy crop and contrast-detect autofocus. For smoother autofocus in video, 1080p at up to 60p is the better choice.

Does it have image stabilization?

No in-body stabilization. Stabilization comes from RF lenses that have IS, or from digital stabilization in video.

How is it against the EOS R?

The RP is smaller, lighter and simpler, with a lower-resolution sensor and slower burst shooting. The EOS R adds a top LCD, more resolution and better 4K, at a larger size.

What comes in the box?

The body, a battery, a charger, a strap and the body cap. Lenses are sold separately unless a kit is specified.

4K videoCriticisedReviewers note the heavy crop and contrast-detect autofocus in 4K, making it weaker for video than stills.
