Ok, we have received very first images of Canon upcoming EOS RP with EG – E1 Battery Grip. Just few hours ago we have received confirmations that Canon EOS RP is coming with 35mm F1.8 STM kit lens to make the entire package much affordable for a entry level shooter.
Thanks @
It’s Extension Grip – EG – E1
It’s Canon Extension Grip and Not a battery grip to make your camera. The extension grip is made to make your camera feel bit heavy and big, similar to a entry DSLR. No mention about the presence of extra batteries inside it.

That’s a small Grip! I don’t see any controls. Does it just hold a Battery?
I think, in Canon-speak, “EG” means “Extension Grip”, not “BG” = “Battery Grip”. A close look at the skinny slab pictured suggests there is no room for a battery in that grip. Just why one needs an “extension”… did they make the camera too small to go on a tripod with a lens attached?
@Dave Haynie
Agree with Dave Haynie, waiting for further confirmations
That would be the photographic wright thing to do to make the Rp come out with the 35mm RF lens I would like to buy this ugly canon beast because for the price I would not expect a second card slot unlike the R model, which is in my eyes a big mistake with the hidious function bar and one card slot, stupid ,stupid, stupid. We will see I think very soon that the R will have a RII because the secandhand price of the R is the new price of the Rp that is not normal for a camera out only a few months . I said already at the presentation of the R an overpriced 1200€ camera sold at 2399€ with that stupid function bar instead of the classic thump wheel which we all love dearly ,if you are a Canon fan.
Would prefer a 24-70 f4 kit lens!

Its extension grip, although battery grip option of RP is also coming through some accessories makers.
That’s not a battery grip. As far as I am aware there is no battery grip for the RP. Thats why I’m not buying one.
David it’s handgrip.
