Canon RP vs Sigma Quattro H: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison

Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, We are going to illustrate Canon RP and Sigma Quattro H side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). Sigma Quattro H has external dimensions of 147 x 95 x 91 mm (5.79 x 3.74 x 3.58″) and weighs 635g (including batteries).

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Canon RP and Sigma Quattro H. Canon RP is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 14mm narrower, 10mm shorter and 21mm thinner than Sigma Quattro H.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Sigma Quattro H is 485g lighter than the Canon RP but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Canon RP has a Full frame sensor and Sigma Quattro H has a smaller APS-H sensor, Sigma Quattro H's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Canon RP lenses.

Weather Sealing

Both EOS RP and Quattro H have weather sealings in their body, making them resistant to water and dust.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Canon RP and Sigma Quattro H's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.00".

On the other hand, Canon RP sports a Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over the head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Sigma Quattro H's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to EOS RP.
Canon RP vs Sigma Quattro H: Sensor Comparison

Canon RP has a 26.0MP Full frame (35.9 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 8 processor. On the other hand, Sigma Quattro H has a 45.0MP APS-H (26.6 x 17.9 mm ) sized CMOS (Foveon X3) sensor and features Dual TRUE III processor.

Sigma Quattro H's sensor provides 19MP more than Canon RP's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely. On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.

Below you can see the EOS RP and Quattro H sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon RP and Sigma Quattro H Cameras


As seen above, Canon RP has a 1.8x Larger sensor area than Sigma Quattro H. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.

Canon RP vs Sigma Quattro H Comparison of Available Lenses
Which camera has more lenses?

Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Sigma Quattro H has an advantage over Canon RP There are 77 lenses for Sigma Quattro H's Sigma SA Bayonet mount, on the other hand there are only 32 lenses for Canon RP's Canon RF lens mount.

Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 21 lenses for Canon RF mount and 29 lenses for Sigma SA Bayonet mount with IS.
