This is a camera that’s flying a bit under the radar lately. The Canon EOS-1D C (“C” for Cinema), released in 2012, is a heavy weight of gear (literally and figuratively), made for pros and movie making.
Armando Ferreira compares the EOS-1D C with the Canon EOS C200, just to see how they compare and if the EOS-1D C can still deliver seven years after its release. Btw, you can get an EOS-1D C used for
Below is another video about the fabulous Canon EOS-1D C by Kinotika (thanks Armando).

The Canon EOS 250D / Rebel SL3 is a rather modest upgrade of the 2-year-old Canon EOS 200D / Rebel SL2, principally adding 4K video recording, a much-improved Live View experience and longer battery life to justify its introduction.

Canon have been much more successful in improving the EOS 250D’s live view mode, which does benefit from using the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system. Being able to compose using the vari-angle touchscreen and choose from one of the 3,975 AF points, complete with face/eye detection, is a real advantage, making the EOS 250D one of the best DSLRs around in terms of its live view mode.
On the other hand, having such an excellent live view system does highlight the camera’s rather basic optical viewfinder, which still relies on a rudimentary 9-point AF system and doesn’t offer the same rich experience as a true mirrorless camera. The headline grabbing battery life of over 1,000 shots also relies on using the optical viewfinder, rather than the much better live view mode.
The Phoblographer reviewed Canon’s latest, entry level full frame mirrorless camera, the EOS RP.
From their conclusion:
There is a lot to like the Canon EOS RP. It’s a simple and fun camera if you’re more inclined to the world of automation. But even so, with the right settings and a bit of patience it can be a great camera in the hands of someone who has a creative vision. You’ll just need to take your time with it. The Canon EOS RP is also really, stupidly affordable. With a full frame sensor at the heart, it’s going to appeal to anyone that says “Oh well full frame is better.”
The Canon EOS RP also has reliable autofocus in all types of lighting. It isn’t the fastest but it works. We also never really had any issues with missed focus providing the subjects were still. Combine this with the metering that lends itself to Sunny 16 well and the ease of use, and you’ve got a pretty darned good camera at least for fun.
Photography Blog posted a set of pictures shot with the new Canon Rebel SL3, aka EOS 250D aka EOS 200D Mark II aka Kiss X10. Guess the world’s smallest DSLR need four names to get the fame it deserves.
The folks over at Mirrorless Comparison posted a pretty exhaustive comparison between the Canon EOS R and the Canon EOS RP. As far as I know this is the first serious EOS R vs EOS RP comparison review.
Most of you likely know that the image sensors of the EOS R and EOS RP are derived form the image sensors found in the EOS 5D Mark IV and EOS 6D Mark II, respectively. This reflects in the sensor performance, and is clearly visible in the image below where 4 stops of exposure recovery have been applied.
If you’re interested in 4K video have a look at the video below to learn more about how both cameras perform.
Mirrorless Comparison sums up:
Strengths of the Canon EOS R:
more dynamic range
better ergonomics thanks to the larger grip
a bit more advanced in terms of ease of use (top LCD panel, memory card access, bigger battery)
larger and more detailed viewfinder which helps with manual focus
faster AF with 4K video
more settings for video including C-Log
Strengths of the Canon EOS RP:
less expensive
more compact yet almost as easy to use
as of now, it has some extra features the EOS R doesn’t have (intervalometer, focus bracketing, eye detection in Servo AF)
To consider:
4K crop is severe on both models
not the best options for action due to viewfinder lag and slow burst shooting in C-AF
Canon is building a very interesting lens selection for the RF mount, but many of them are large and will suit the EOS R ergonomics better
Choose the Canon EOS R if:
you prefer a larger and more robust body
you want extra options for video
you find it at a good price
Choose the Canon EOS RP if:
you want an affordable full-frame camera
Mirrorless Comparison’s review examines every feature in both cameras and compares them. If you are on the fence and don’t know which camera is best for you, be sure to have a look at the review.
