Canon EOS models are Canon's line of SLR cameras. Canon has been making SLR cameras since May of 1959, when the first "Canonflex" was introduced. The Canon EOS line of SLRs was born in March, 1987, with the introduction of the EOS 650. The EOS brand stands for "Electro Optical System," but reference is also often made to EOS, the Greek goddess of dawn.

Today, Canon EOS models span a broad range from inexpensive but highly capable entry-level models to some of the most sophisticated professional SLRs on the market. Generally (in the US, at least), you'll find Canon EOS models with model numbers beginning with a letter are consumer through prosumer models, while those that begin with numbers are prosumer through professional models. At the top of the Canon EOS product line are the legendary 1-series.

	Canon EOS 5D Mark III 22.3 megapixel, Pro SLR, Non-Zoom The Canon 5D Mark III is a true "superstar" camera, with impressive capabilities for both still and video shooting. It suits the needs of well-heeled amateurs and working pros equally well, and while its resolution is only very slightly higher than that of the 5D Mark II, the Canon 5D Mark III offers so many improvements over its predecessor that it'll be an easy upgrade decision for many 5D Mark II owners. Released March 2012	$2350-3525 Review

	Canon EOS 6D 20.2 megapixel, Pro SLR, 4.38x Zoom With the 20.2-megapixel EOS 6D, Canon has created a smaller, lighter and less expensive full-frame digital SLR for prosumer photographers. In many ways, the well-designed 6D is a mini 5D Mark III for the rest of us. While it doesn't feature as robust a camera build as that step-up model, and its autofocus system is decidedly basic, the Canon 6D is otherwise a fantastic, responsive DSLR that offers the glories of full-frame in a trim but comfy camera body. Plus, you get full-featured, built-in Wi-Fi and GPS to boot. Released December 2012	$2040-2600 Review

	Canon EOS Rebel T3 (EOS 1100D) 12.2 megapixel, SLR, 3.00x Zoom Marking a new entry point to the Rebel line, the Canon T3 offers good image quality, a friendly design, and excellent battery life. Although its burst-shooting capabilities don't match the best-in-class, and has a few omissions such as dust removal and spot metering, these are fairly easy to overlook given the entry-level pricetag. In all, a fairly easy recommendation for the first-time SLR buyer. Released March 2011	$320-550 Full Review

	Canon EOS Rebel T3i (EOS 600D) 18.0 megapixel, SLR, 7.50x Zoom Staking out the high end of the Rebel line, the Canon T3i shares the excellent image quality of its predecessor (the T2i), and offers the articulating LCD, remote flash control, and creative filters also found in the 60D. With Full HD video support, fast autofocus, and good quality optics, the Canon EOS Rebel T3i is easy to recommend. Released March 2011	$610-1450 Full Review

	Canon EOS Rebel T4i (EOS 650D) 18.0 megapixel, SLR, 7.50x Zoom Canon's T4i raises the bar in terms of important enthusiast features, including a faster frame rate, new multi-shot modes, and Full HD stereo movies, but its new phase-detect autofocus falls short for movies. Released June 2012	$798-1419 Review
