It has been a while since a review of a DSLR has graced the pages of AP. So far this year 90% of the cameras we've reviewed have been mirrorless, so for Canon to come out and release a new DSLR at the same time as evolving its mirrorless systems is intriguing.

As we've seen on Canon's latest flurry of advanced compacts, the sensor works alongside Canon's DIGIC 8 image processor that contributes to faster data processing and a healthy increase in continuous shooting speed.
