Best USB Charger and Battery For the Canon EOS RP (& EOS R)

I just got my hands on the excellent little Canon EOS RP mirrorless camera and one of the first things I wanted to do was figure out the best way to charge the camera via the USB-C port. Unlike Canon’s DSLRs, the newer RF-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras such as the EOS RP and the slightly older EOS R, are capable of being recharged over USB-C with the battery remaining in the camera. That’s somewhat handy when the camera is at home, but for me, the real benefit is that you can use an external USB battery pack to recharge the …

Canon’s first mirrorless full-frame camera has landed, and it appears to have a lot going for it on paper.

EOS R Adapters for EF Lenses

Alongside the launch of the new EOS R full-frame mirrorless camera, Canon also unveiled a trio of EF lens adapters. These adapters will allow users of the 150 million EF and EF-S lenses in existence to attach them to the upcoming EOS R, and any future RF mount cameras without losing any functionality. Note that EF-S lenses are compatible with the adapters, but using one will put the EOS R camera automatically into a cropped mode to prevent vignetting from the small image circle of a lens that’s designed for APS-C and not full-frame. Mount adapters are nothing new for mirrorless …
