This resource from Canon should interest photographers from beginner to professional. First time to repeat buyers looking to upgrade will find these documents a valuable stop in the quest to gather information to make that ‘next camera’ decision.
White Papers are marketing oriented documents detailing features of each camera model and offer comparisons between camera bodies from the previous generation. They are not a substitute for manuals or just a piece of sales collateral. These papers go “Beyond the Manual” as Canon states it.
There are details about each Canon DSLR’s major features not available in one place elsewhere. From basics of technical specifications to improvements and enhancements to unique custom features, a wealth of detail is presented. Original accessories and included software packages are also listed.
Buyers of a second or backup camera and those considering used or factory refurbished units will find this documentation helpful. Finding a complimentary tool to a particular type of photography or in addition to an existing camera body is aided by these papers. As an example, does the DSLR body being considered support a Picture Style, can it embed custom data in a JPEG output, or does it have a spot meter?
Finally Canon has included in this set of papers a great White Paper on their CMOS sensor technology. Written from the Full-Frame point of view it does not neglect smaller sensor! If you are not a tech geek this is still vital to learn at some point in your growth as a photographer.
