Clarification on camera models

Cynlynsmi — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 20:32:45 GMT

I’m looking for a list of Canon cameras that will define models and what the difference is. Such as Mark, D, Rebel, T before a number and after a number, one 0 vs two or more 00's, 4Ti, 7D, 70D, T7, T7i, XS, XTi etc. If I could get a list that goes back at least a couple years that would be great. I’ve contacted Canon and they said no such list exists. Also searched internet extensively.

Here is one rabbit hole to try 🙂 You will have to scroll down to get to camera features and names.

"What the difference is" is the entire spec sheet.

Don't forget the Kiss' and the thousands.

Good luck.

Canon's online camera museum has a list, and for each product shows the names used in different regions. For example Rebel is used in USA/Canada, Japan uses Kiss and most of the rest of the world uses numbers.

I suggest looking at the following table from Wikipedia:
Canon EOS - Wikipedia It's complicated, but you did ask...

What is missing off this table is the latest versions of cameras and the R APS-C bodies:
So... R APS-C:
R7, suggests lineage from the 7D series, but actually echoes the specs of the 90D, has IBIS, face tracking, some weather sealing but not Canon battery grip. Offers 32MP sensor.
R10 , One step down and shares the same 24MP sensor will the next model down. No IBIS, but face/eye tracking and more control options. Articulating touch screen.
R50, a lower-grade version of the R10, with fewer controls but otherwise generally similar. Articulating touch screen.
R100, essentially a repackaged M50 sensor in an RF mount body. Very limited controls and no articulating screen.

R1 the new flagship model in the same vein and the 1D series, so aimed at pro-sports who shoot and share in real time using advanced focus and tracking, modest 24MP FF sensor, fast buffers and cards, and the highest level of connectivity through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Ethernet technology. Built-in battery grip with custom battery like 1D series.

R3, a Prosumer version of the R1

R5MkII, update to the R5 with very similar features to the R1 model, but much larger sensor, a separate battery grip, aimed at the same market as the 5D series DSLRs.

Great minds... I have no idea how to interpret the North American marketing for the Rebel series - they make absolutely no sense to me. I know the Rebel moniker came out with an advertising campaign using Andre Agassi as the Rebel of tennis. Fine, but why didn't they call the 600D the Rebel 600D or Rebel 600? I am glad they dropped that for the R series of MILCs. Since I don't live in the US (or Canada any more) the bodies (although now no longer sold new) all have the numerical series.
