It’s moving photography. Inspired. By Canon. Whether you’re a professional photographer looking to push the limits of your creativity or an amateur looking for more professional results, the EOS system has a camera for you. Beginners will love the simple yet sophisticated EOS Rebel T2i. It’s the only camera in its class with an 18 megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor. At the pro level, the EOS-1D Mark IV is Canon’s most advanced SLR with 10 fps, 16.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, and the most advanced auto focusing technology ever created by Canon. And then there’s the EOS 5D Mark II – the only camera in the world* to combine a 21.1 megapixel, full-frame CMOS sensor with 1080p Full HD video capability. Closing the gap between amateurs and professionals, the EOS 7D is the first EOS ever with 18 megapixels, 8 fps, a Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processor, and approximately 100% field of view viewfinder to take all photographers to the next level. So no matter which camera you choose, Canon makes the creative process easy, rewarding and most importantly, inspiring.
