Score breakdown
Why this grade
Canon sells genuine replacement parts to the public via its Parts Order Desk, and a large independent repair ecosystem plus iFixit guides exist for EOS DSLR/mirrorless bodies, which are mechanically serviceable. However, Canon does not publish service manuals to the public (authorized-only; third parties like USCamera resell them), explicitly recommends authorized service, and voids warranty for non-authorized repair. EOS bodies carry no documented part-pairing software locks, which is repair-friendly relative to phones.
Methodology & version
Five dimensions — parts availability, schematic access, repairability, OEM pricing, and software freedom — are scored 0–100 and weighted equally; the letter grade is the average (A 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60). This assessment is current as of 6/9/2026 and cites its sources below. It covers the Cameras category and is not a claim about every device the maker ships.
