Canon EOS R5 C vs Sony FX3

The Canon EOS R5 C and the Sony FX3 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Canon EOS R5 C if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (45 against 12.1 MP). Pick the Sony FX3 if you want stabilisation in the body, which steadies every lens and more lenses made for it in this guide (278 against 99). If you already own Canon RF or Sony E lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
