Carrying this body all day is a different question from buying it. See the HiiGuy strap

The highest-resolution APS-C sensor Canon put in a DSLR, paired with an eleven frame per second burst and 45 autofocus points that are all cross-type. It was never replaced, which tells you something.

701g Body weight

You will feel this one by the afternoon. A wider strap spreads that load across your shoulder instead of concentrating it on your neck.

Both lengths carry any body on this page. Pick 44" if you are tall or broad, 32" otherwise — that choice is about you, not the camera.

Is this camera for you?

An honest read on who this body suits, and who should look elsewhere.

  • Wildlife and birding Great fit 32.5 megapixels on an APS-C sensor gives enormous reach and crop room, at eleven frames a second.
  • Sport and action Great fit Eleven frames a second with 45 cross-type points. Nothing in Canon's DSLR line below this comes close.
  • Enthusiasts upgrading from a Rebel Great fit Every number on the spec sheet roughly triples, and your EF-S lenses all still fit.
  • Travel and outdoor Great fit Weather sealed, 1,300 shots per charge, and 701 g keeps it manageable.
  • Video creators Workable 4K at 30p is real and useful, though there is only one card slot to hold it.
  • Wedding and event professionals Look elsewhere A single card slot gives no live backup on work you cannot repeat.
  • Low light specialists Look elsewhere Packing 32.5 megapixels onto an APS-C sensor means small photosites, and the high ISO files show it.

What it does well

  • 32.5 megapixels on APS-C

    The most resolution Canon put in a crop-sensor DSLR. For wildlife it is reach you did not have to buy a longer lens for.

  • Eleven frames a second

    Faster than the full-frame 5D Mark IV that costs considerably more.

  • 45 focus points, every one cross-type

    Not 45 points of which some are cross-type. All of them, which is unusual at any price.

  • Fully articulated touchscreen

    It folds out and rotates, which matters for video and for shooting from awkward angles.

What to know first

  • One card slotMatters if you’re shooting weddings or events

    No live backup. For everything else it is the obvious place Canon saved money on an enthusiast body.

  • Small photositesMatters if you’re shooting in low light

    32.5 megapixels on an APS-C sensor means each pixel is small, and noise at high ISO is the price of that resolution.

  • 701 g plus a long lensMatters if you’re carrying it all day for wildlife

    The body is manageable; the telephoto you bought it for is not. This is a shoulder camera, not a neck one.
