Canon EOS 6D Mark II vs Canon EOS RP: What is the difference?

sensor size

Full frame

One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.

focus points

45

4779

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.

megapixels (main camera)

26.2MP

26.2MP

The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.

maximum light sensitivity

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon EOS 6D Mark II)

40000 ISO

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.

maximum expanded ISO

102400ISO

102400ISO

Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.

has sensor shift stabilization

✖

✖

Canon EOS RP

With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.

continuous shooting at high resolution

6.5fps

5fps

Fast continuous shooting is useful for catching action shots.

has AF tracking

✔

✔

Canon EOS RP

With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.

Has phase-detection autofocus for photos

✔

Canon EOS 6D Mark II

✔

Canon EOS RP

Phase-detection autofocus is much faster than a contrast detection autofocus, allowing for sharper images.
