Canon and Fujifilm have launched new cameras to their respective lineups. Canon’s EOS RP is a full-frame mirrorless camera, successor to the EOS R. On the other hand, Fujifilm launched the X-T30, which is next in the lineup to X-T20. While Canon launches Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera at modest pricing, Fujifilm Brings Nostalgia to the Table. Let’s see what each of them has to offer.
Canon EOS RP
First and foremost, the camera has garnered attention for a full-frame experience in a compact and light body. It weighs around 485g (17.1 oz).
It carries a 26.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor, which brings Digic 8 image processor from the earlier EOS R and shoots at a lower 5FPS continuously, whereas the R could record at 8 FPS. You could capture 4K videos at an ISO range of 100-40,000.

Fujifilm X-T30
Fujifilm announced the X-T30 to its APS-C lineup, which is also a smaller, lighter, and aggressively priced flagship-grade camera. But more importantly, this successor to X-T20 brings the nostalgic factor. It sports an improved 26.1MP APS-C sensor powered by the 4 quad-core X-Processor.
Its hybrid AF system uses PDAF tech to auto-detect and autofocus 425 phase points. Apart from 100 percent coverage of the entire frame, it packs features like EyeAF and a novel Face Selection feature. The camera benefits from 2.36 million dot resolution OLED EVF, a 3-inch tilting touchscreen display, 4K recording up to 30fps or 1080p recording up to 120fps, native Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support as well as a single SD card slot.
