✅ Great For
👤
Portrait Dual Pixel AF eye tracking on a full-frame sensor — flattering subject separation.
🎬
Vlogging & Video 4K/60p 10-bit, articulating screen, and subject tracking — excellent video spec.
🏙️
Street Lightest full-frame Canon mirrorless — surprisingly easy to carry all day.
💍
Wedding & Events Dual Pixel AF is reliable. Single card slot and short battery life are the weaknesses.
🏔️
Landscape Full-frame dynamic range is a genuine step up. No IBIS means a tripod for long exposures.
⚠️ Not Ideal For
⚡
Sports & Action No IBIS and no weather sealing limit it for outdoor sports. Battery life is very short.
