Canon Full-Frame DSLR Camera Roundup

15 February 2024

Canon's reign over the full-frame DSLR world is undisputed. Though once exclusive to professionals, they've masterfully democratized this powerful technology, bringing it within reach of aspiring enthusiasts like you. Whether photography is a serious venture or just something you do for fun, a full-frame Canon might be the transformative tool you've been seeking.

Let's embark on a curated exploration of Canon's current full-frame DSLR lineup to discover which Digital SLR will help you unleash boundless creativity and image quality.


Canon EOS 6D Mark II

Stepping onto the full-frame stage, the Canon EOS 6D Mark II feels familiar to APS-C users, yet hides a game-changing secret: a potent 26.2MP full-frame sensor powered by Canon's Digic 7 engine. Freeze the rush of sports photography with its 6.5fps burst and capture precise focus with the 45-point AF system, equally adept at video thanks to Dual Pixel CMOS AF. Unleash your storytelling in Full HD and explore creative possibilities beyond APS-C's reach, from dynamic sports moments to intimate portraits.

The first full-frame DSLR camera with a flip screen, the 6D Mark II lets you shoot from any angle with its Vari-angle touchscreen. Beginners will love the easy tap-to-focus for sharp shots, using this compact and lightweight DSLR camera.

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

Canon pioneered accessible full-frame with the 5D, and the EOS 5D Mark IV stands as its ultimate evolution. This hybrid maestro caters to still and video masters alike, wielding a 30.4MP sensor and buttery smooth 4K30p. Dive deeper with cinematic features like HDR movies, time-lapse, and 120p slow-motion. The 5D Mark IV is where photographic passion meets cutting-edge innovation.

The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is particularly speedy, with a 7-frame-per-second continuous shooting rate as well as a 61-point AF system. When compared to the entry-level 6D Mark II, this camera is noticeably heavier, which is a result of the rugged dust and weather-sealed build. As well as the optical viewfinder, this camera features a huge 3.2-inch LCD screen at its rear. Boosting connectivity for today's photographers, the 5D Mark IV integrates Wi-Fi and NFC, unlocking seamless remote control and effortless sharing.

Canon EOS 5DS and 5DSR

Some other models of note within the EOS full-frame range are the Canon EOS 5DS and Canon EOS 5DSR. Now, both of these models are jam-packed with high-end features, namely a mammoth 50MP of resolution. These two cameras both feature 5 frames per second continuous shooting, Full HD video and a range of other useful features, but when it comes down to it these cameras have been introduced for the purpose of providing users with the maximum possible resolution, which is great for large and detailed prints of landscapes or portraits.

The 5DS and 5DSr are virtually identical in every way, except that the 5DSr cancels out the effect of the anti-aliasing filter. That makes this model the best for capturing higher levels of image sharpness, but also makes it susceptible to moire occurring when photographing patterns, such as is common in fashion photography.

Canon EOS 1DX Mark III

Behold, the pinnacle of Canon's full-frame legacy: the EOS 1DX Mark III. Renowned for its speed and image quality, this flagship boasts a powerhouse 20.1MP sensor and an upgraded processor. Witness the evolution of both stills and video, with stunning 5.5K 60p footage and professional-grade 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 recording within your grasp.

The 1DX Mark III captures the fleeting action at 16 FPS with its optical viewfinder, a favourite among pro sports photographers. Its revamped 191-point AF system, powered by advanced algorithms, tracks subjects with laser focus. Built like a tank, this workhorse boasts a rugged body designed to handle the rigours of professional use. Dual CFExpress card slots ensure smooth handling of high-res video and rapid bursts, a feature avid users will undoubtedly appreciate.
