Canon 80D vs Canon RP

Here is a comprehensive assessment of the Canon 80D vs Canon RP, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless and they are both created by Canon. The image resolution of the 80D (24MP) and the RP (26MP) is pretty comparable but the 80D (APS-C) and RP (Full frame) feature different sensor dimensions.

Photography Glossary

The 80D was introduced 4 years prior to the RP and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Canon 80D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon RP being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight into a detailed comparison, below is a brief summary of how the 80D matches up versus the RP with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 80D and Canon EOS RP. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 80D Gallery and Canon RP Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry your camera frequently, you will have to take into account its weight and dimensions.

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Underneath is the front view size comparison of the 80D and the RP.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 80D and RP is 59 and 70 respectively.

Typically, its difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizing only by going through specs. The graphic here might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 80D and RP.

All in all, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 80D having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Canon RP will show more detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older 80D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
