Canon RP vs Canon G1 X III

Below is a extended review of the Canon RP versus Canon G1 X III, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact and both of them are designed by Canon. The sensor resolution of the RP (26MP) and the G1 X III (24MP) is pretty well matched but the RP (Full frame) and G1 X III (APS-C) use totally different sensor dimensions.

The RP was announced 16 months later than the G1 X III which makes the cameras a generation apart from each other. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon RP being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Canon G1 X III being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before diving straight into a detailed comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the RP scores vs the G1 X III with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS RP and Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III. The whole galleries are provided at Canon RP Gallery and Canon G1 X III Gallery.

For anybody who is going to lug around your camera, you will want to factor its weight and volume. The Canon RP comes with exterior measurements of 133mm x 85mm x 70mm (5.2" x 3.3" x 2.8") along with a weight of 485 grams (1.07 lbs) while the Canon G1 X III has sizing of 115mm x 78mm x 51mm (4.5" x 3.1" x 2.0") and a weight of 399 grams (0.88 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilising during that time. Below is the front view measurements comparison of the RP versus the G1 X III.

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the RP and G1 X III is 70 and 82 respectively.

Often, it's hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements simply by looking at a spec sheet. The visual underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the RP and G1 X III.

Clearly, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The RP having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon RP will resolve more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more modern RP will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
