Key Advantages

The full-frame 21.1 MP sensor provides exceptional resolution and dynamic range, ideal for professional photography. The DIGIC 4 processor ensures fast processing and excellent noise handling up to ISO 6400 (expandable to 25600). Full HD 1080p video recording was pioneering at the time, making it versatile for multimedia creators. The large rear LCD facilitates precise image review and framing in live view. Durable weather-sealed body enhances reliability in challenging environments. Compatibility with EF lenses extends creative flexibility with Canon’s extensive lens lineup.

Limitations

The autofocus system, while strong for stills, can be less effective during live view or video mode compared to modern hybrid autofocus systems. Its continuous shooting speed of approximately 3.9 frames per second is moderate by current standards. The camera does not have built-in Wi-Fi or GPS connectivity, limiting immediate image sharing and geotagging. Battery life is good but may require spare batteries during extended shoots. Video autofocus is mostly manual, which can be challenging for dynamic scenes. Its relatively large and heavy body may be less compact for travel compared to modern mirrorless cameras.
