It pairs a 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor and the DIGIC X processor with Canon's latest Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, all in a weather-sealed body that weighs just 499g. Shoot sharp handheld stills, steady 4K video and fast action from one compact camera. Reserve yours now on pre-order from Prosales, an authorised Canon dealer in South Africa.
