What these specs mean
Sensor size
- Micro 4/3
- APS-CThis one
- Full frame
- Medium format
1.5–1.6x crop. Extra reach for wildlife and sports; good all-rounder
A bigger sensor gathers more light: cleaner photos in dim light and more background blur, but bigger, pricier lenses. APS-C lenses are smaller and the crop gives extra reach for wildlife and sports.
- Dual Pixel autofocus
- Canon’s on-sensor autofocus: every pixel helps focus, which makes tracking fast and smooth for video and moving subjects.
- Electronic viewfinder
- A small screen in the eyepiece that shows the exposure before you shoot. Higher dot counts and refresh rates look sharper and smoother.
- Burst rate (fps)
- Frames per second in continuous shooting. 10+ fps helps for sports and birds; the electronic shutter is faster but can warp fast motion.

5.0 from 3 ratings
Store star ratings run high (most products average above 4.3), so they count less than written reviews.
