Canon is gearing up to announce its second full-frame mirrorless camera following the EOS R but If you can’t wait for the official announcement then here the upcoming Canon EOS RP has been revealed in leaked photos and specs.
From the photos, we see that the RP isn’t just the same R body with modified specs and features. We can see that the design and form factor are noticeably different (and the RP is smaller):

Nokishita, which first published the photos, reports that the Canon EOS RP will feature a 26.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF and a DIGIC 8 image processor.
The back of the camera actually looks quite similar to the EOS R, except it omits the “Multifunction Touch Bar”:

Other features and specs include 5fps continuous shooting, an ISO range of 100-40000 (expandable to 50-102400), an OLED electronic viewfinder, a 3-inch swiveling LCD touchscreen, dual sensing IS, DLO in camera, RAW development in camera, and C-RAW compatible.
The top of the camera omits the dot-matrix LCD found on the EOS R:

While the EOS R weighs 1.45lbs (660g) with a battery and memory card, the EOS RP weighs just 1.07lbs (485g).
The Canon EOS RP will be a lower-end camera in Canon’s full-frame mirrorless lineup, but Canon is also reportedly planning to unleash a flagship model with ultra-high resolution (there’s word of 100MP+) and in-body image stabilization. But first, this RP model that’s geared more toward the masses of serious photographers.
