The full frame CMOS sensor similar in physical size to 35mm film, brings out the full potential of Canon’s professional EF lenses
DIGIC II Imaging Processor for improved colour reproduction for razor sharp images at accelerated processing speed
Uses the popular E-TTL II autoflash system with 21 evaluative zones, that accurately assesses ambient lighting and produces the optimal amount of flash lighting for natural looking pictures every time

High Speed & Quick Response
Fast continuous shooting speed of 3 fps (max burst of 60 JPEG Type shots)
Shutter speeds of 1/8000 sec.and X-Sync speed of 1/200 sec to capture fast moving subject
Fast 0.2 sec. startup time
More burst frame of 35 JPEG Type images

Robust Body with Rugged Design
Stainless steel body with magnesium alloy exterior for toughness and durability with tough, scratch-resistant coating
High shutter durability of 100,000 cycles
Large 2.5-inch LCD monitor (approximately 230,000 pixels resolution offers wider viewing angle with visibly clearer images and larger text)

Picture Style
Just like selecting the film type on a conventional camera, users can get the optimum image by selecting the correct setting
6 image composition modes available and the range of factors that photographers usually consider previously when selecting film type - sharpness, contrasts, colour tone, saturation can be adjusted:
1) Standard- vivid and sharp images (general shooting)
2) Portrait- beautiful skin tones and clear image quality
3) Landscape- vivid blues and greens, enhanced sharpness
4) Neutral-natural colour reproduction, low sharpness and moderate expression
5) Faithful-extremely accurate colour reproduction in daylight
6) Monochrome- black and white or sepia images
3 custom user-defined modes available


Sharp Focus Everytime
9-point auto-focus (AF) with 6-point AF-assist provide highly detailed focusing around the centre of the image with aim of improving efficiency in AI Servo AF mode
3 types of optional highly acclaimed precision matte focusing screens (Ee-A / Ee-D / Ee-S) that are fully interchangeable allow easier manual focusing
Flexible ISO setting of ISO speed to adjust camera's sensitivity to light for best exposure (ISO 100 - 1600, expandable to ISO speeds 50- 3200)
Metering sensors in 35 exposure control zones
4 metering modes include: Evaluative, Partial, Centre-weighted average, and Spot
9 White Balance settings allows the user to fine-tune white balance as desired
