Canon cameras – which one is right for you?

Canon has been part of the world of photography for more than 80 years and is one of the leading suppliers in the market today. Funny, considering that the company was founded in 1937 in Tokyo to sell cheap replicas of the then leading suppliers Leica and Contax.
Canon cameras have managed to capture their place on the leaderboards and secure. This is mainly because they have cameras for every requirement – from the beginner to high-end professional equipment. Which one may it be for you?

If you’re just getting started with photography or just looking for a compact, yet powerful device, Canon has two series for you: the IXUS and PowerShot cameras.

The IXUS series is characterized by the super-slim metal housing, in which innovative technologies are used. Not only do they fit in your pocket, they also convince with features like WLAN with NFC, intelligent image stabilizer or functions that allow you to just aim and trigger the subject.

There are four different PowerShot series, starting with the G-Series, which features fully manual control, making it suitable for more experienced amateur photographers, including the entry-level SX series. The is kept quite compact, but convinced by the strong optical zoom and intuitive operation. The N series is particularly small and symmetrical – so you can trigger these Canon cameras from virtually any position – even in the handstand! And last but not least, there’s the PowerShot D-Series for the more adventurous: with it you can dive up to 25 meters underwater!

SLR cameras – the EOS cameras from Canon
You can reach the „next level“ of photography with SLR cameras or the so-called DSLR. Here, Canon has the EOS system, which consists of numerous camera models for a variety of needs, interchangeable lenses and a lot of accessories.
If you frequently stumble over the term „DSLR“ and wonder what that means, it stands for „Digital Single Lens Reflex“.

Canon sets on three „levels“: the cameras for beginners who have good all-round features in their luggage. Such as the EOS 200D, which is almost a little more responsive to the operation Smartphoneremind.
If you’re an ambitious hobby photographer, the DSLR cameras for photo enthusiasts are worth the high quality EOS 6D Mark II.
And finally there are the professional equipment. They are quite priced, but they convince with brilliant pictures and numerous setting functions. The EOS-1D X Mark II definitely stands out.

Mirrorless cameras from Canon
Canon’s offer is rounded off by the mirrorless cameras, which have neither a mirror nor an optical viewfinder. As a result, they are smaller and more compact than DSLR cameras, but can still be equipped with interchangeable lenses and leave nothing to be desired in terms of performance.
In the mirrorless, you no longer look like a traditional viewfinder, but only on the display – photography can be so easy!

Which Canon camera should it be?
At the end of the day, you should always ask yourself what you want to do with the camera. For the family snapshots you certainly do not have to spend hundreds or even thousands of Euros on a professional device, even if a good compact digital camera did. Because one thing is for sure: from the „little ones“ to the „big ones“, with a Canon camera you can not go wrong in principle and will definitely shoot great pictures!
