In this comparison, we’ll be looking at the Sony A7c and the Canon EOS RP, two Advanced Mirrorless cameras from Sony and Canon, respectively. The Sony A7c will hit the market in September 2020, while the Canon RP will hit the market in February of this year. As a result of the 19-month age gap between the A7c and the EOS RP, we do not anticipate seeing a significant technical difference between the two cameras; yet, the younger A7c would still have an edge, particularly in sensor technology.
Because both models are listed among the top in their respective categories of Advanced Mirrorless cameras, we can anticipate a tight matchup. From 53 cameras in this class, the Sony A7c is the top-scoring model, with an overall score of 87 points, while the Canon RP is the sixth-scoring model, earning a score of 79 points.

The Alpha A7C has a number of advantages, including a quicker shutter speed, higher sensitivity, and a greater array of lens options. We also appreciate the optical image stabilizer, the fact that the battery has more endurance, and the fact that it is lighter than the EOS RP. Another benefit of the EOS RP over the EOS RP is its smaller footprint and compatibility for USB 3.0. Given the size of today’s images and the needs of 4K video, this seems like an absurd luxury.
