This crop sensor entry-level mirrorless camera offers an ISO range from 100 to 25 600, 24 MP resolution, internal flash , and 6 fps continuous shooting.

There is another  Canon EOS RP camera which is designed to be simple, affordable, compact and and we especially consider its fully vari-angle rear screen.

It has technologies that cannot be found in previous DSLR cameras, such as built-in WiFi, a touchscreen, and Bluetooth.

On the other hand Nikon had just the Nikon Z6 – a powerful camera for experts, more advanced users, and pros. It has in-body stabilization, continuous shooting up to 12fps, full width oversampled 6K-to-4K video, and more.
