Since that time, Canon has continued to launch a range of epoch-making products, including the professional-model EOS-1D series and the EOS 5D series of cameras which, equipped with a 35mm full-frame sensor, paved the way for digital SLR video recording.

In June, the Company released the EOS 5DS and 5DS R digital SLR cameras, which realize the world’s highest pixel count2with approximately 50.6-megapixel resolution; while in April the EOS Rebel T6s and EOS Rebel T6i digital SLR cameras were released. Also, in March, Canon launched the EOS M3 camera.
Further bolstering Canon’s product lineup designed to meet the specific needs of a diverse user base, the Company announced, in February 2016, the EOS-1D X Mark II DSLR camera, capable of high-speed continuous shooting – up to 14 frame-per-second, and the EOS 80D camera, which combines full-fledged still image-capture performance with outstanding movie-shooting operability. Also, the extensive EF lens-series lineup, production of which surpassed the 110 million unit mark in June 2015, currently comprises a total of 98 models3and represents one of Canon’s biggest strengths, supporting the EOS series by enabling a wide array of shooting possibilities and rich expressive capabilities.

From the specification we can clearly see that Sony features bit more resoltuion as well as bit bigger sensor size. However despite of having almost same sensor size and ISO range the Sony A6300 is picking up more details during High ISO Test compared to Canon 7D Mark II camera.
The shutter range of the Canon 7D Mark II camera is borad compared to Sony A6300 as well as both of the camera almost have same continuous shooting speed.
The Major difference can be seen in the video section where we can see Canon 7d Mark II is limited to full HD video recording on the other hand the Sony A6300 can record 4k videos.
Now let’s have a look on the High ISO test samples.
We don’t notice any major difference between the image quality of both the camera but we have to say we are noticing bit more details in the Sony A6300 image quality captured at ISO 6400.
The ISO 51200 image samples of both the camera is useless, I am not able to understand why companies unlock useless ISO stops, may be a just marketing thing.
At the end we have to say that Sony A6300 is a clear winner, if we look at the core specification of the camera the Sony offers you better AF system compared to Canon 7D Mark II camera as well as better image quality.
