Step up to full-frame photography and video and realize your creative ambitions
Shoot your best work yet with a 24.2 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor that balances detail, speed and low-light performance. The larger sensor also captures more detail in the brightest and darkest parts of a scene, making this a great landscape photography camera. It also lets you shoot powerful portraits with beautiful background bokeh. Multiple HDR modes let you capture more dynamic range, even with moving subjects³.
Extend your creativity into the world of video, with pro performance and filmmaking features. Enjoy up to 4K/60p resolution, Focus Breathing Compensation and our famous Canon Log 3 colour profile, that allows for professional colour grading. Full HD footage can be shot at up to 180 fps for smooth slow-motion effects⁴. This hybrid camera makes these features so easy to use that nothing will break your creative flow.

Your constant creative companion is great for shooting events on location. A dedicated switch lets you swap between photo and video modes, retaining settings in each one. A Vari-Angle screen is perfect for shooting from different angles.
