If I could use one word to describe Canon, it would be consistent. While the camera manufacturer kick started the DSLR video revolution with the original EOS 5D and decked out its EOS 5DsR and 5Ds with massive 50MP sensors, every Canon DSLR and lens I've used has immediately felt familiar.
Great picture quality; Fast auto-focus; Compatible with Canon's huge lens family
Feels a little big when compared to micro-four-thirds cameras; Kit lens has an awkward focus ring; Photos could use more dynamic range
