Canon EOS RP leaks reveal new shrunken full-frame mirrorless camera

Canon EOS RP


Rumors of the Canon EOS RP have been hotting up, and a new leak appears to have revealed pretty much everything about the upcoming compact full-frame mirrorless camera.
A series of images of the EOS RP leaked on Nokishita reveal what is essentially a compact version of the company’s first (and currently only) full-frame mirrorless camera, the Canon EOS R. 
From the included pictures and specs, we can surmise that the EOS RP will be smaller and lighter than its predecessor. The new camera will purportedly measure 132.5 x 85.0 x 70.0mm, and weigh just 1.07 pounds; by comparison the EOS R measures 136 x 98 x 84mm and weighs 1.45 pounds.

That’s a heck of a lot smaller, and the shrinkage seems to have sadly eliminated the top LCD, which we felt was extremely handy for quickly checking shooting settings on the EOS R. Some good news, though, is the Canon EOS RP will apparently feature an articulating screen that flips out and pivots 180 degrees, which would make the new camera an attractive choice for vloggers.

Speccing it out

Nokishita also reports that the Canon EOS RP will feature a 26.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor, likely the same one as used in the Canon 6D Mark II.
If that's indeed the case, we can speculate that the EOS RP will inherit many of the 6D Mark II’s specs, including the dual-pixel autofocus system, Digic 8 image processor, 5fps continuous shooting mode and 100-40,000 native ISO range.
According to another report, from CanonRumors, the EOS RP will come with a price tag in the region of $1,499 (about £1,160, AU$2,110) to $1,599 (about £1,230, AU$2,250). 
If correct, that would position the new camera as a direct competitor to the $1,999 (£1,899, AU$3,185) Nikon Z6 and $1,999 (£1,849, AU$3,099) Sony Alpha A7 III, which are currently the most affordable full-frame mirrorless cameras on the market.
Additionally, CanonRumors suggest that Canon will release five new RF mount lenses alongside the EOS RP. The purported lenses are as follows:
  • Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM
  • Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM
  • Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM
  • Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM
  • Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
The Canon EOS RP’s rumored February 14 release date is nearly upon us, so we’ll know whether these latest leaks are the real deal soon enough.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose.

We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know —...
