Indeed! The new Canon EOS RP full-frame mirror-less camera ($1,299) makes a great camera for food bloggers, especially when paired with the RF 35mm macro lens ($450 or less) Here’s why:
- Full-frame sensor – The full-frame sensor allows low light photography. Dimly lit restaurants or markets can be photographed with less noise.
- Lightweight – the small and lightweight form factor makes it easier to travel with the Canon EOS RP than a larger DSLR
- Focus Bracketing – Focus stacking, or depth compositing is available. The camera can be set to take a series of photos (up to 999 shots) at different focal lengths. The images can be combined later using the free Canon software to create a final photograph with back to front focus. Great for macro or closeup shots like food. You will need to use a tripod for best results.
