What reviewers say

Both reviews praised the detailed images, stabilisation, familiar handling and capable autofocus. Photography Blog welcomed the larger buffer and extensive video options. Amateur Photographer found the high-speed and pre-capture settings awkward to access, and judged deep-shadow latitude slightly behind the best rivals. Both considered it a strong all-rounder for existing Canon users.
