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.
- In-body stabilization (IBIS)
- The sensor moves to cancel hand shake, so every lens is stabilized. Sharper handheld shots in dim light and steadier video.
- 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.
- 4K 60p
- Ultra HD video at 60 frames per second: smooth motion, and room to slow it down to half speed.

4.9 from 19 ratings
Store star ratings run high (most products average above 4.3), so they count less than written reviews.
