Key:
- to save space, the "EOS" is left out from Canon model names
- ISO values include maximum sensor range, even if in manual mode ("H1", "Hi 1" etc.)
- Continuous shooting: fps is "frames per second", indicates the highest speed for full resolution, without battery grip
- Memory card types: CF is CompactFlash, SD is Secure Digital
- Weight: with standard battery
