Best Canon cameras for 2020

In the modern world, where almost everyone has a smartphone with a built-in digital camera, one often hears exclamations “Who needs them, these cameras !!!”. Despite this, modern photographic equipment is developing, sold and actively used by an increasing number of people. The editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/", without going into a comparison of the process of photographing with a camera and a smartphone and the quality of the final result, will help you in choosing a camera from Canon that suits you.

The manufacturer himself divides his products into five types:

• Full frame mirrorless cameras;
• Digital SLR cameras;
• Compact cameras with interchangeable lens;
• Compact cameras with built-in lens.

Now a little more detail about each species.

Full frame mirrorless cameras

Canon EOS R and Canon EOS RP

At the moment, Canon has two camera models of this type: EOS R and EOS RP. These are two powerful weapons in the fight for image quality, equipped with a COMOS sensor of 30 and 26 megapixels, respectively. Canon RF mount, but with the EF-EOS-R adapter it is possible to use EF and EF-S mount lenses without sacrificing camera quality and functionality. Sighting is carried out using a high-resolution electronic viewfinder. The absence of a mirror and pentaprism significantly reduces the weight of the camera, and the exclusion of mechanical elements from the shooting process increases the shooting speed. According to the manufacturer, these cameras have the highest focusing speed in the world - 0.05 s. There is the possibility of video recording with 4K resolution.

Some will say that this is a step forward, but still it is more like a step to the side and a parallel path. The good old DSLRs had Live View. allowing you to shoot with an open mirror. The EOS R and EOS RP cameras work the same way. Canon engineers tackled many of the negative effects of live view, such as sensor overheating, processing speed, but the main problem remained - huge power consumption.

If we compare the EOS R and EOS RP cameras with the EOS 1D and EOS 5D DSLRs (with which, in our opinion, they are designed to compete), then the former will be almost twice as easy and cheaper, but the maximum number of shots that can be taken on one battery charge, the latter will have more (370 and 250 shots against 1100 and 650, respectively). And if a true lover is no stranger to carrying weights (his own burden does not pull), then to be in a situation where you have a masterpiece in front of you, and all the batteries are empty - you will not wish the enemy either.

The average cost of a Canon EOS R body camera is 116,100 rubles.

The average cost of a Canon EOS RP body camera is 74,144 rubles.

Professional DSLR cameras

The EOS 1D, EOS 5D, EOS 6D and EOS 7D cameras fall under this classification. A little about each camera separately.

Canon EOS 1D X Mark II

The EOS 1D is not particularly travel-friendly as it weighs in at a decent 1.3kg. If you add the mass of the lens to this weight, more than 2 kg will come out. It's more of a studio camera. More precisely, this is probably the best studio camera. It's just a great studio camera. Canon is constantly working to improve the design of this model. Today the latest in the line is the Canon EOS 1D X Mark II. This camera is professional and therefore has a number of features:

• Precise manual autofocus adjustment for 40 lenses with the saving of these settings according to the serial number of the lens;
• 42-bit color depth;
• Two DIGIC 6+ processors allowing continuous shooting of unlimited number of JPEG images or 170 RAW images at a constant rate of about 14 frames per second;
• Simultaneous recording of images in JPEG and RAW format on different memory cards;
• 34 custom settings with 105 parameters;
• Video shooting in Full HD and 4K formats;
• Capture an 8.8 megapixel JPEG image from a 4K video;
• Protected against moisture and dust entering the camera.

The average cost of a Canon EOS 1D X Mark II body camera is 284,490 rubles.

Disadvantages:

In the next lineup of cameras, we recommend paying attention to two models - Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and Canon EOS 5DS R.

IT IS NECESSARY TO SAY THAT THE EOS 5D CAMERAS ARE DESERVED TO BE VERY FAVORITE BY AMATEURS AND PROFESSIONALS. A HUGE NUMBER OF PHOTO MASTERPIECES ARE MADE WITH THE USE OF THESE CAMERAS

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is a light version of the EOS 1D (in many ways) literally and figuratively. It weighs half the weight of an EOS 1D. It has one DIGIC 6+ processor, due to which the speed and number of images in continuous shooting are reduced, but the quality of the images remains at a very high level.

The average cost of a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV body camera is 135,990 rubles.

 

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

Canon EOS 5DS R

The Canon EOS 5DS R camera is a new addition to the EOS 5D line. The physical sensor size of this camera is the same as that of all full-frame Canon cameras - 36x24 mm, but the resolution is simply fantastic - 50.6 megapixels. The size of one pixel in this sensor, of course, is larger than in the matrix of any smartphone with the best camera, but this does not disappear the complexity and parasitic phenomena from their huge accumulation in a small area. One of the problems is the speed of processing and recording readings from the matrix in JPEG and RAW formats. Two DIGIC 6 processors are working on this task. Despite the fact that this is a new model of the camera, it does not have the ability to shoot in 4K format, burst shooting is limited to 510 images in JPEG format and 14 RAW. Such a modest performance for a professional camera is explained by the large weight of the resulting images.

The average cost of a Canon EOS 5DS R body camera is 111,990 rubles.

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

Canon EOS 6D Mark II

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II camera, according to the author, is unfairly classified by Canon as an amateur. In terms of its characteristics, it is very close to EOS 5D cameras - a full-frame 26.2-megapixel CMOS sensor, EF mount, waterproof and dustproof, precise manual autofocus adjustment for 40 lenses with data saved by the lens serial number. Of the global differences, only a smaller number of AF points (45 versus 61) can be distinguished and not using CompactFlash media for recording images (all information is recorded on SD, SDHC or SDX media).

The average cost of a Canon EOS 6D Mark II body camera is 79,190 rubles.

 

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

Canon EOS 7D Mark II

The Canon EOS 7D series cameras are the only cameras with a crop factor of 1.6 that can easily be classified as professional. Yes, and the cropped matrix cannot be written down as disadvantages.

THIS IS A REAL REPORT CAMERA WITH A VERY FAST SHUTTER

Canon's latest model, the EOS 7D Mark II, is one of Canon's fastest cameras at 10 frames per second, higher only on the EOS 1D. The frame rate is maintained up to an unlimited number of JPEG shots or up to 31 RAW shots. Compatible with EF and EF-S mount lenses.

The average cost of a Canon EOS 7D Mark II body camera is 62,000 rubles.

SLR cameras for hobbyists

The main difference between amateur SLR cameras and professional cameras is the material from which the body is made. Amateur cameras use plastic with metal alloy elements, which makes the camera almost three times lighter. Another clear difference is the built-in flash. On the one hand, working with the built-in flash reduces the number of images obtained due to the rapid consumption of energy, on the other hand, there are situations when the presence of a built-in flash helps a lot, especially on long travels. The EF and EF-S lens mounts allow you to use virtually the entire line of Canon lenses from the most affordable to the professional. With the simplest DSLR and a decent professional lens in the mid-range, you can get very decent quality images.

Canon EOS 800D

Canon EOS 800D is one of the new products that has a rotary touch screen, 45 focus points, supports Wi-Fi and NFC.

The average cost of a Canon EOS 800D body camera is 34,790 rubles.

Canon EOS 2000D and Canon EOS 4000D

DSLR cameras Canon EOS 2000D and Canon EOS 4000D are simple and inexpensive cameras that allow you to learn how to use professional photographic equipment and at no extra cost to understand how much you need it. Despite the modest performance (for example, the speed of continuous shooting is only 3 frames per second), these cameras have a function of tips on user functions and settings, this simplifies the learning process.

The average cost of a Canon EOS 2000D body camera is 23,409 rubles.

Interchangeable Lens Compact Cameras

Canon EOS M50 and Canon EOS M6

In essence, these are the same mirrorless cameras, only with a sensor having a crop factor of 1.6. Just like the EOS R-series cameras, they have a line of EF-M mount lenses, but there are only 8 models of these lenses. EF and EF-S mount lenses can be used on these cameras via the dedicated EF-EOS M adapter, which is a distinct advantage. EOS M cameras are lighter than DSLRs and full-frame mirrorless cameras.

The set of functionality is very rich, the management of shooting processes is intuitively simple.Fast autofocus, powerful processor, and wireless data transfer make EOS M cameras very attractive, but there is the same problem with full-frame mirrorless cameras - huge power consumption, which reduces the number of images taken on a single battery charge. Some of the best in the EOS M lineup are the Canon EOS M50 and Canon EOS M6.

The average cost of the Canon EOS M50 Kit is 39,199 rubles.

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

The average cost of a Canon EOS M6 body camera is 32,973 rubles.

The Canon EOS M6 lacks the familiar viewfinder. Shooting is carried out using a rotary touch screen. But an electronic viewfinder can be purchased additionally, although it costs more than half the cost of the camera itself, which makes this option slightly attractive.

Compact cameras with built-in lens

What do you get by purchasing a camera with a built-in lens?

• A ready-made tool for creativity. The choice of the degree of zoom of the lens must be completed prior to purchasing the camera. There will be no opportunity to change the lens, you will have to change the camera.
• Almost all cameras with a built-in lens have an image stabilization system. This is very good, especially when shooting in low light conditions.
• Compactness and light weight of the device. Most of them can easily fit in a jacket pocket.
• Ease of Control - Intuitive settings with many creative scenarios already set up, just select a mode and shoot.

Some compact cameras with a built-in lens cannot be called compact. Their size and weight are comparable to those of a consumer DSLR. The only thing that is true is that the lens is an integral part of it. This statement is entirely true for Canon's PowerShot G series cameras.

Canon PowerShot G3 X

Camera with 25x zoom, large CMOS sensor 1 ”by 20.2 megapixels, in a waterproof and dustproof housing.

The average cost of a Canon PowerShot G3 X camera is 46,848 rubles.

Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II

A truly compact camera that can be charged via a USB cable from any device with a USB connector, such as a power bank, which increases its ability to be ready for use for a longer time. Ideal for travelers who do not want to carry huge DSLRs with them, but have high demands on the quality of the transmitted picture.

The average cost of a Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II camera is 23,255 rubles.

Canon PowerShot SX740 HS

Super zoom compact camera.

SMALL AND WEIGHT, 40X OPTICAL ZOOM AND 5-AXIS IMAGE STABILIZATION MAKE THIS CAMERA EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE FOR TRAVELERS AND NATURE LOVERS

There is one serious drawback - poor protection from moisture and dust.

The average cost of a Canon PowerShot SX740 HS camera is 23,255 rubles.

Canon IXUS 190

CAMERAS OF THIS TYPE ARE GOING TO THE PAST, BECAUSE THEIR FILLING AND POSSIBILITIES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY EXCEEDING SMARTPHONE CAMERAS

The only serious advantage over smartphones in matters of photo and video shooting is the presence of a fairly decent optical zoom. This camera has a 20 megapixel matrix made using CCD technology. Despite the fact that the CCD technology is considered more advanced, the problems associated with its operation (overheating of the sensor during long-term operation, the appearance of noise, high energy consumption) as well as the high cost of production do not allow it to be widely used in photographic equipment and mainly CCDs are installed in small cameras.

Canon IXUS 190 is a very simple and modern camera at the same time. On the one hand, it does not have a large number of settings that can affect the image quality, on the other hand, it has 32 preset shooting scenes that the camera can choose itself. The price, weight and dimensions make this camera unnecessary, at least absolutely not interfering even in the smallest handbag, and if necessary, capturing something at a decent distance is better than any smartphone.

The average cost of a Canon IXUS 190 camera is 9,500 rubles.

Output

It is very difficult to decide on the purchase of a digital camera when you always have a smartphone at hand. Everything is learned in comparison, after all, the main purpose of a smartphone is to make calls (although this fact is controversial). Simple, lightweight and not very expensive cameras are gradually becoming a thing of the past, but more complex and expensive technology is being improved, it becomes easier to adjust and operate, learns to shoot in low light conditions, and all this is aimed at obtaining the best image quality. The technical side of quality has been resolved, it remains for your vision of the space around you - for your creativity.

Happy shopping.
