How we compiled this
Specs sourced from manufacturer support/spec pages (usa.canon.com, explore.omsystem.com) where accessible, with primary fallback to reputable review outlets (digitalcameraworld.com, cameralabs.com) that publish full spec tables. US MSRP is the body-only launch price in USD as announced or listed at initial availability; where a camera has since been discounted the original MSRP is recorded and noted. Corroboration via additional review sources (digitalcameraworld.com secondary visits) and Wikipedia where available. sensor_format values: 'Full-frame', 'APS-C', 'Micro Four Thirds'. megapixels is effective MP (integer rounded to 1 decimal). max_video is highest-resolution video mode string (resolution@fps, e.g. '4K@60p'). ibis is boolean. mount is the native lens mount name. continuous_fps is the highest burst rate in frames per second using electronic shutter unless noted. weight_g is body-only weight in grams with battery and card where that is the manufacturer-stated figure; otherwise body-only. release is YYYY-MM. A null is used only for genuinely unknown values, never a guess. All sources accessedAt 2026-06-15.
