GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Entry Full-Frame Stills Photography — EOS RP (2019): An affordable gateway into the RF system. The RP makes sense as a stepping stone camera — if you're committed to Canon RF glass, this is the cheapest full-frame body to buy those lenses for. Just manage expectations on video and battery life.

Portrait, Street & Documentary Photography — GFX 50R (2018): The most portable GFX camera of its era — 51MP in a rangefinder-style body for photographers who want medium-format quality with a more discreet form.

↓ Full specifications below

EOS RP (2019)

  • Canon users who want to start investing in RF glass affordably
  • Stills photographers who shoot primarily in good light
  • Anyone coming from a Canon DSLR wanting the RF system at low cost
  • Travel photographers who prioritise compactness over video specs

GFX 50R (2018)

  • Photographers who want medium-format quality in the slimmest GFX body available
  • Street and documentary photographers drawn to the rangefinder-style handling
  • GFX 50S users who want a smaller body for travel and walk-around use
  • Studio and portrait photographers who want 51MP at the lowest GFX entry price
