Reference

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 separate battery grip (i.e., not integrated into the body).
  • Memory card types: CF is CompactFlash, SD is Secure Digital.
  • Dimensions are rounded to the nearest whole number.
  • Weight: with standard battery unless noted otherwise.
