The PhotoPlus Gear Of The Year awards, where we reveal the most outstanding Canon EOS cameras and Canon-fit add-ons that are available right now..
In 2019 PhotoPlus tested Canon’s EOS RP mirrorless camera and a stack of new RF lenses for it, while in the DSLR camp, Canon released its finest beginner-friendly and mid-range cameras of all time. Plus Sigma and Tamron have continued to delight with some truly great glass. So there’s plenty to choose from whether you are a Canon mirrorless or mirrorless camera user! Without further ado, let’s get right to it and reveal the winners!
Best beginners’s DSLR
Canon EOS Rebel SL3 & EF-S 18-55mm
The most fabulous of EOS cameras for beginners who are serious about beginning their long, potentially expensive, journey into photography – the Rebel SL3 (known as the EOS 250D in Europe) bends over backwards to be helpful. Its fully articulated vari-angle touchscreen looks and works a treat from any angle, and comes complete with a ‘Guided’ user interface that smooths out the learning curve of shooting with a DSLR. It’s not short on specifications either, with a 24.1 megapixel sensor that features Dual Pixel AF and is capable of delivering wonderfully rich and detailed images, as well as capturing that 4K ultra-high definition that everyone talks about.
Best Enthusiast mirrorless camera
Canon EOS RP
Who says full-frame cameras need to be big and chunky? This mirrorless marvel is Canon’s smallest and lightest full-frame EOS camera and weighs in at just 485g, complete with battery and memory card. It’s also less than two-thirds the price of the EOS R, while still packing a serious set of features including a 24MP sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF with 4779 AF positions, and 4K video, yet the most appealing thing about this camera is that it delivers a cost-effective route into using Canon’s epic new RF series lenses.
Best Enthusiast DSLR
Canon EOS 90D & EF-S 18-135mm
Better and faster than the preceding EOS 80D, the 90D takes things to a new level. The image sensor has a mighty 32.5 megapixels and the DIGIC 8 processor is two generations newer. It has a faster 10fps maximum burst rate, rising to 11fps in Live View mode, and ups video capture resolution from 1080p to a full 4K. The fabulous ergonomics of the 80D are retained, including the vari-angle touchscreen, making the 90D the new top trump for APS-C format enthusiast-grade cameras.
Best Pro DSLR`
Canon EOS 5D Mk IV
The consummate all-round full-framer, the 5D Mark IV excels at just about everything. Handling is a dream, it combines a high-res 30.4 megapixel image sensor with a fast 7fps continuous drive rate and has exceptional high-ISO image quality. It’s great for shooting everything from landscapes to portraits, and from action sports and wildlife to night-time cityscapes. We love how the optical viewfinder and high-performance autofocus module combine for tracking moving objects, while sensor-based Dual Pixel AF with rear screen preview enables it to compete with mirrorless cameras for speed and accuracy…
