The 45.7MP BSI CMOS sensor and EXPEED 6 engine deliver exceptional detail and a native ISO 64 for superior dynamic range in a weather-sealed, 585g body. Its 5-axis IBIS and 493-point phase-detect AF provide reliable stabilization and focus accuracy, while the 10-bit N-Log HDMI output offers flexible color grading for video. This camera is best for wedding and event photographers who need high-resolution files and robust build quality in a compact mirrorless system.
