Superb Imaging Performance

• 12.2 megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor for high resolution images of superb quality and detail
• DIGIC III Imaging Processor for high quality fast image processing,

- Provides ultra-fast processing system
- Reduces false colours and improve image quality
- On-chip noise reduction circuit for low levels of noise even at high ISO

• 14-bit A/D conversion 16,384 gradations per colour
• 3-layer optical low-pass filter (LPF) effectively reduces false colours and maintains excellent resolutions
• Expanded dynamic range due to improvements of the S/N ratio of the CMOS sensor (inhibits over-whitening) for better highlight retention and noise reduction

EOS Integrated Cleaning System

• EOS Integrated Cleaning System is Canon's comprehensive measure to minimize effects of dust
• Includes both Self Cleaning Sensor Unit (hardware) and Dust Delete Function (software)

- Self Cleaning Sensor Unit: Uses piezoelectric element to generate ultrasonic vibrations in the first optical low-pass filter in front of the CMOS sensor to shake off dust

• - Dust Delete Function: Camera detects and registers the location and size of extremely sticky dust adhering to low-pass filter and then appends this information (dust delete data) to the image taken. The Digital Photo Professional 3.3 (DPP3.3) software detects this data appended to the image to execute dust deletion
• Manual Sensor cleaning is also available

LIVE View shooting

• Versatile Live View functionality with 2 new AF modes for flexible focus via its 3” LCD monitor

   -     Quick Mode (Phase difference AF)
   -     Live Mode (Contrast detection AF)
       
High Responsiveness

• High-speed continuous shooting at 3.5 frames per second up to 53 burst JPEG format or 6 frames RAW
• High-precision 9-point AF with 35-zone metering sensor
• Reduced lag time resulting in quicker operations
• Spot metering, approximately 4% of screen is metered
• Continuous shooting with a self timer (first in a Canon SLR camera)
• Maximum shutter speed of up to 1/4000 sec. and X-sync speed of 1/200 sec

Ease of Operability

• Auto Lighting Optimizer function

  -     Analyzes the brightness of the photographic subject, and automatically corrects the dark parts to make them brighter

• The EOS Integrated Cleaning System, a comprehensive sensor dust solution
• Newly developed Li-ion battery, LP-E5 with an improved capacity (approximately 1.5x)
• 3.0” LCD monitor with 230,000 dots offers ease of viewing with its increased magnification ratio and brightness
• Light weight body, weighing only 475gm
