Continuous shooting reaches 6.3 frames per second with burst mode enabled, making it a capable choice for action and sports work. On the back, a 3.0-inch Fixed LCD with a 920,000-dot resolution offers clear image review and menu navigation. The optical pentaprism viewfinder delivers a traditional, bright shooting experience.

The body is constructed from magnesium alloy with dust-resistant sealing, adding a degree of protection for outdoor use. Storage is handled via CompactFlash media, and connectivity includes USB and Mini HDMI output. The flash system supports Canon E-TTL II, and the camera is powered by the BP-511A battery, rated for approximately 640 shots per charge.
