Canon EOS RP review: This full-frame mirrorless camera can shake up market
In May 2017, rumours of Canon coming out with a full-frame mirrorless camera had sent the world of photography on the internet into a mini tizzy. Now, it is not that Canon did not have a mirrorless camera range already. It did and the M series was a capable series too. But, alas! It was not full-frame. For the uninitiated, a full-frame camera is one that captures images on a sensor which is the same size as a traditional 35-mm film (remember film cameras of the past?) Most DSLR cameras you see today are APS-C or crop-sensor cameras. These have smaller sensors that capture much smaller frames (22x15 mm). This basically means a full-frame sensor has a surface area which is 2.5 times an APS-C sensor camera. A bigger sensor of course means a much higher price, too. An APS-C is not a problem for most, except pros and people who want to move up the ladder in the serious photography business. Canon has been a global leader in photography and has had a wonderful full-frame DSLR range,
