As we all know that Canon EOS RP uses the same sensor as of Canon 6D Mark II camera. So, expecting a better dynamic range from Canon 6D Mark II as we have in Sony A7 II isn’t fair.
What actually improved from Canon 6D Mark II vs Sony A7 II ? By the Introduction of new DIGIC 8 image processor the Canon also implemented new noise processing algorithms with the camera. So, the noise of the camera is bit more controlled compared to Canon 6D Mark II.

As you can see Canon EOS RP features extended ISO range compared to Sony A7 II Camera. Canon EOS RP features ISO range starting from 100-40,000 in standard Range and 50-102400 in Extended Range.
Whereas, Sony A7II camera features Standard ISO range from 100-25600 and you also have a option to push your ISO range to ISO 50.
In general more ISO range means better low-light performance. But with Sony A7 II camera you are also getting 5 axis Image stabilization system. So, when you are shooting in low light environment you can hit more lower shutter speed (upto 5 stop) when compared to Canon EOS RP camera.
One of the best thing is you don’t have to worry about a bit while using Prime lenses or third party lenses with your camera. Since, image stabilization will help you all the time despite of type of lenses you are using.

Canon EOS RP camera can record Videos in 4K whereas the Sony A7II camera limited to Full HD video recording mode only.
But Keep in Mind the Canon EOS RP Camera have some issues in 4K video recording mode
Limitations of Canon EOS RP in 4K Mode
- Canon EOS RP uses the APS-C Portion of the sensor, so you will be getting very limited dynamic range
- Canon EOS RP camera 4K video mode suffers from 1.6X Crop factor.
- Canon EOS RP camera doesn’t have DPAF support when you are recording 4K videos.
Limitation of Canon EOS RP camera in Full HD Video Mode

Canon clearly have a upper hand in the specs sheet while mentioning their EOS RP camera carry have more than 4K AF area zones or segments.
So, it’s very clear that Canon will have more AF screen coverage .
Fastest Camera – Canon EOS RP or Sony A7 II ?
Canon EOS RP camera fails to give Continuous AF support at 5FPS more, Continuous AF starts from 3 FPS and Subject tracking goes down upto 2.6 FPS.
Sony A7 II camera features Continuous shooting speed 5 FPS full time AF support and very accurate Eye AF support while recording videos.

Canon EOS RP camera features better touch screen and viewfinder, compared to Sony A7II camera.
Other Features
Sony A7 II camera features better battery life (100+ shots), You will be also getting Environmental sealing with Sony A7 II camera. No weather sealing in Canon EOS RP.

Verdict:
For Hybrid Shooters we have no option other than Canon EOS RP, nature of display Canon EOS RP is more user friendly compared to Sony A7 II. For still shooters we recommend Sony A7 II camera, since the camera features better dynamic range, In-body 5 axis Image Stabilization system and better continuous drive.

According to latest wild rumors surfaced over the web, Canon will soon merge the Canon 80D and 7D Mark II successors into one single solution. High-end APS-C sensor based DSLR line will now have a single option only.
As in the beginning of 2018, canon said they will cannibalize their DSLR lineup to put more focus on Mirrorless cameras. This may be one of the step to reduce the DSLR lineup and put more attention on Mirrorless camera.

As we know that the sensor of both the camera excatly same, so it’s bit hard to find out the difference between the specs sheet. As we know that Canon 6D Mark II camera is a DSLR, so it uses additional Phase AF Module inside the camera. The Phase AF module features 45 Point AF system. And EOS RP doesn’t carry any external Phase AD module like the 6D Mark II.
Otherwise, Both camera features same DPAF sensor. So, AF speed will remain almost same, however AF speed also depend upon type of image processor, nature of mount and type of lenses used. Viewfinder isn’t that good as we have seen inside Canon 6D Mark II. EOS R viewfinder is also just awesome, but to reduce development cost Canon sacrificed the quality of the viewfinder.

Don’t get into the trouble of counting AF points, both camera features same sensor. You will be getting Same AF performance in both the camera. However, the EOS RP camera loses out 45 point Phase AF module of Canon 6D Mark II DSLR due to the nature of its construction.

Metering range is improved in new Canon RP camera, but at the same time the the exposure Compensation range is limited and not as good as Canon 6D Mark II.
Even after the introduction of Digic 8 image processor the continuous AF speed of the Canon EOS RP camera is slower compared to Canon 6D Mark II DSLR.
