Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Canon R50 and Canon RP side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon R50 has external dimensions of 116 x 86 x 69 mm (4.57 x 3.39 x 2.72″) and weighs 375 g (0.83 lb / 13.23 oz) (including batteries). Canon RP has external dimensions of 133 x 85 x 70 mm (5.24 x 3.35 x 2.76″) and weighs 485 g (1.07 lb / 17.11 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon R50 and the Canon RP. Canon R50 is 17mm narrower and 1mm thinner than Canon RP but it is also 1mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon R50 and Canon RP.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon R50 and Canon RP.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon R50 is significantly lighter (110g ) than the Canon RP which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Canon RP has a Full frame sensor and Canon R50 has a smaller APS-C sensor, Canon R50's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Canon RP lenses.
Weather Sealing
