Canon EOS Rebel T7i Pro Reviews

For a step up in photo quality or performance from a phone or compact, the Canon EOS Rebel T7i/800D remains a fan favorite.

The Canon EOS 800D offers a significant upgrade to the 750D, and we’re pleasantly surprised by the improvements made in handling, design, and focus speeds, both in live view and normal shooting modes. Improvements have been made in continuous shooting speeds, as well as the ISO range available. There’s also a new user interface, making the camera easier to use for beginners. However, there’s still a lack of two command dials, something that really would be good to see (even on basic DSLRs), especially as a number of entry level mirrorless cameras (and compact cameras) offer dual controls. If you’re an enthusiastic photographer and can see yourself wanting direct control over the shutter and aperture speeds in manual mode, then the 77D is going to be the camera you will want. However, this is a real shame, as the 77D is larger (and more expensive). The 800D also feels quite expensive in comparison to the 750D (RRP) when introduced. However, it’s an big improvement over the 750D, and also offers an improved battery life, which will give many mirrorless cameras a run for its money. The camera also delivers great image quality, and with a wide range of affordable lenses, the 800D would make a great choice for any photographer.

The Canon EOS Rebel T7i/800D is arguably the best ever Rebel. Its Dual Pixel autofocus allows it to offer similarly fast performance whether you shoot through the viewfinder or in live view mode, helping make it one of the most accessible DSLRs we've ever encountered.
