TOP 3 best Canon DSLR cameras for professional photographers

#1. Canon EOS 1D X Mark III Body

This is the most expensive model of a professional SLR camera from Canon, and obviously the coolest, so there is no point in listing all the delights.

Let's move straight to the cons - there are none. What did you want? Find the disadvantages of a device that costs over 400 thousand rubles? Let's move on.

Main technical characteristics:

#2. Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Body

The EOS 5D Mark IV Body is considered to be the golden mean among professional DSLRs from Canon.

This model is not as expensive as the 1D, but you will not find a noticeable difference in the quality of the output materials unless you use a microscope. And professional post-processing of materials will completely erase all the boundaries between 5D and 1D.

Among the disadvantages, again, is a weak battery and sometimes freezes. Otherwise, this is a reference camera.

Main technical characteristics:

#3. Canon EOS 6D Mark II Body

The EOS 6D Mark II Body is, in our opinion, the best model among inexpensive professional DSLRs from Canon, and therefore there will be more disadvantages here.

So, among the disadvantages of this camera: the lack of a USB cable in the kit, the lack of modern video codecs and the maximum video resolution is only Full HD.

TOP 3 best amateur Canon mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses

#1. Canon EOS M6 Mark II Kit

If you are looking for a top-end mirrorless camera in the budget segment, then this is it - the Canon EOS M6 Mark II Kit.

Among the shortcomings, we did not find anything significant to present here. For its price, this is simply an amazing device that can easily outperform slightly more expensive DSLRs from the same manufacturer and others.

Main technical characteristics:

#2. Canon EOS M50 Kit

This model is in great demand among photographers, because... it has a fairly “comfortable” price. You can also find many rave reviews about it online.

Having scoured the Internet in search of disadvantages, we were unable to identify at least one obvious and adequate example of a shortcoming in the EOS M50 Kit model, so we recommend considering it for purchase.

Main technical characteristics:

#3. Canon EOS M100 Kit

So we’ve come to the most budget-friendly version of a mirrorless camera from Canon – the EOS M100 Kit. For less than 30 thousand rubles you will get a camera that can outperform many DSLRs up to 50 thousand rubles in quality of output materials.

Here, more questions arise specifically about the build quality of the camera - there are small gaps on the buttons, and a couple of body panels make an unpleasant sound when pressed. But you probably can’t get everything at once for that price. And we move on to the list of professional mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses.

TOP 3 best Canon mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses for professional photographers

#1. Canon EOS R5 Body

If you don't tolerate compromises and just want the best, then here it is - the EOS R5 Body. This is the best mirrorless interchangeable lens camera from Canon.

Yes, this is a top-end device that you can’t find fault with, but we’ll try anyway. And we found this very drawback - this model sometimes overheats when shooting video. Otherwise, this is truly a reference model, and not only among cameras from Canon.

Main technical characteristics:

#2. Canon EOS R6 Body

This model is more popular than the R5, which we wrote about above. But this is understandable - the cost of the Canon EOS R6 Body is 1.5 times lower, and it provides approximately the same capabilities as its “big brother”.

Therefore, if you are good at post-processing output materials, you should take a closer look at this model, saving about 150 thousand rubles.

Main technical characteristics:

#3. Canon EOS R Body

Here it is, the most budget-friendly among professional mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses from Canon.

The Canon EOS R Body costs almost 3 times less than the R5 and almost half the price of the same R6. But with all this, it also allows you to shoot excellent 4K videos and take excellent quality photos.

Yes, there will already be a noticeable difference in the quality of the output materials in comparison with the same R5 and R6, but for the money they ask for this camera, you get a real miracle from Canon.

TOP 3 best compact digital cameras Canon

#1. Canon PowerShot G7X Mark II

The PowerShot G7X Mark II is the most expensive and best-reviewed compact digital camera from Canon on our list.

We did not find any significant shortcomings in this model, taking into account the fact that this is only a digital camera, from which you should not expect anything supernatural. And he copes with his tasks (taking high-quality photos and videos) 100%.

Main technical characteristics:

#2. Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II

Despite the fact that the PowerShot G9 X Mark II model is already much cheaper than its “big brother”, which we wrote about above, it provides excellent image quality and pleases with the quality of image stabilization.

Flaws? Catch: lack of 4K resolution when shooting video and weak battery. These are all the disadvantages from the list of adequate ones, because... You can’t expect from a camera for more than 20 thousand rubles what professional DSLRs provide.

Main technical characteristics:

#3. Canon PowerShot SX620HS

Here's the cheapest compact digital camera on our list of the best from Canon.

Do you want disadvantages? But you won’t get it, because... It’s simply dishonest to list the shortcomings of a camera that costs less than 20 thousand rubles.
