This is a subreddit for all things Canon! From the point and shoots, to the legendary DSLRs, to their printers & industrial equipment. Questions are welcome, however, try searching on Google before posting a question here. Please join our discord: https://discord.gg/nr7sr94. Rules are as follows:

* Don't be a jerk
 1. Do not offer technique critique unless asked for
 * No flame wars: Posting/Commenting with your opinion is fine, unless it incites personal attacks or is otherwise meant to be for the purposes of instigation (up to moderator discretion)
 * If you don't like a particular post, downvote and move on

* This is NOT a subreddit for sharing pictures/videos taken with your Canon equipment
 1. Pictures and video that just happen to have been taken with Canon gear, but are not Canon-related, are not appropriate for this subreddit.
 * Please post "look at this photo I took with my Canon" type posts in /r/itookapicture and "what can I do better?" posts in /r/photocritique.

* Report spam and self-promotion!
 1. Thanks to the high sale prices of most Canon gear, this sub is a magnet for spammers trying to post ads & affiliate links. If you find a spam post or comment that wasn't automatically blocked by our spam filter, please click the report button. If your new post doesn't appear and you think it was blocked by the spam filter, message the mods for help. Posting referral or affiliate links on purpose will result in an immediate ban.
 * r/Canon is not the place to vie for social media followers. Do not include your social media names/links in your post. If requested, you may post social media links as a comment.

* Newly acquired gear photos may only be posted in "Lens of the Week", "Collection Theme of the Week", and "New Gear posts."

* New Gear Posts
 1. Any post that is intended to show off newly acquired gear must include      "[New Gear]" in the beginning of the title
 * In either gallery format, or included as links within the post itself, users must post both a picture of the new gear, as well as a photograph that has been created (by the user) using that new piece of gear. Along with the described images, users are encouraged to share details about the acquisition of the gear, as well as their experience using it. (The purpose of this change is to create more meaningful rhetoric around the awesome gear that our users have acquired! We want to promote discussion, rather than have people post a picture and then run off into the sunset)

* 
No 'for sale' posts, please utilize /r/photomarket for any equipment sales

*

* Making a thread asking for gear advice? Be sure to answer these questions in your post, or it will be removed:

1. What will be the use case for this new gear? - Be sure to state what your specific photography goals are. "Just looking to get started" isn't a viable answer. If you are looking to upgrade, describe the limitations of your current gear setup that are convincing you that a new piece of gear will help to overcome those limitations.

2. Any info/product you're considering (and why) - If you are trying to choose between two camera bodies (for example), describe why you are considering those bodies, and any specific features that you need.

3. Budget. - This is a hard one for many because it always elicits that "but what if I'm missing out on this great feature if I only spend just a *bit* more" feeling (especially for new photographers). Rest be assured - if you offer a budget of $1000, 99% of the time, any recommendations you get will include the "if you spend $1100, you can get this" response. Don't fret much about that. Budget is important because we *all* have an amount that we just aren't comfortable spending (regardless of the "deal"). We need to know that number. Oh, and phrases like "that doesn't break the bank"/"cheap"/"easy on the wallet" aren't helpful.

4. Research that you have already done - It is super important that you describe (in detail) any information that you have come across that has either helped or confused you toward choosing new gear. For those who are brand new to photograhpy, it is recommended that you start by doing your own research. The DPReview.com buying guides are an *excellent* source for helping new photographers narrow down their choices. https://www.dpreview.com/buying-guides

Welcome to reddit's home for discussion of the Canon EF, EF-S, EF-M, and RF Mount interchangeable lens DSLR and Mirrorless cameras, and occasionally their point-and-shoot cousins. We also sometime talk about other canon equipment such as printers. All questions and photographic experience levels welcome!

What lens would make the most sense to buy?
