Update - sadly this Amazon Deal has now finished. It may well come back, at some point - but for the mean time we recommend looking at our up-to-date rundown of the best Amazon camera deals - as there are some alternative deals on Canon mirrorless cameras that are worth a look at.
Original post - With its full-frame sensor, the EOS RP was one of the first RF lens Canon mirrorless cameras launched - but has now fallen so far in price that this is a real steal. It is ideal for anyone starting out in photography - but is a great upgrade model too for those who want to step up to mirrorless cameras, or want their first full-frame camera, too! With a new price drop at Amazon, the EOS RP is being sold with the RF 24-105mm zoom for just £949 - making this a super early Prime Day camera deal.
Canon EOS RP + RF 24-105mm | £1,079 | £949 Save £130 The first-ever Canon full-frame mirrorless camera packs a 26.2MP sensor and crisp 4K video, and comes with the brilliant and versatile RF 24-105mm lens that will cover virtually every shooting scenario! This is the lowest price we have ever seen for this kit.
While its competitors are going to great pains to create increasingly advanced – and increasingly expensive – high end full-frame mirrorless cameras, Canon is catering to crop sensor consumers who are looking for a full-frame upgrade that won’t break their back or their bank balance.
The Canon EOS RP is a big success in this regard, offering full-frame functionality and 4K video in a package that’s notably smaller, lighter and cheaper than almost all its rivals. It’s far from an entry-level camera, but it’s ideal for an entry-level full-frame camera.
This is a remarkable feat of engineering, effectively cramming the power and performance of a 765g 6D Mark II into such a tiny 485g body while also adding 4K video and mirrorless benefits such as an EVF.
A capable full-frame mirrorless camera at this price is hugely appealing for anyone looking to upgrade to a larger sensor, especially one that retains the size and weight advantages of the APS-C bodies they’re already using. Indeed, the EOS RP’s compactness might even make it more appealing than the EOS R for photographers who need to stay light and nimble, such as travel or street shooters.
