Canon Rebel T7i at a glance:

  • 24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor
  • DIGIC 7 Image Processor
  • 3.0″ 1.04m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen
  • Full HD 1080p Video Recording at 60 fps
  • 45-Point All Cross-Type Phase-Detect AF
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF
  • Up to 6 fps Shooting and ISO 51200
  • Built-In Wi-Fi with NFC, Bluetooth

The Canon Rebel T7i is collecting positive reviews everywhere. It’s easy to use yet powerful enough to satisfy the absolute beginner as well as the more experienced photographer.

Photographic authority DPReview makes no exception, lauding the Rebel T7i “guide modes”, which aim at those photographers who still want to learn the basics of photography. It seems Canon made good job implementing the guide mode.

Guide modes are pretty common on cameras of this type but I’ve rarely seen one that helps with learning how the camera operates beyond guide mode, rather than leaving you stuck in a simplified mode forever. This, combined with the consistency of performance between shooting through the optical viewfinder and rear screen (in terms of both speed and effectiveness), makes the T7i one of the easiest DSLRs to use if you’re not familiar with their operation. It also means it’s one of the easiest cameras to capture video with.

Some Canon Rebel T7i news (the Rebel T7i is EOS 800D in Europe). Photography Blog posted a set of sample photos shot with the new Rebel T7i, along with sone first impression thoughts (emphasis mine):

Given the chance to test the camera in challenging low-contrast light conditions, we can report that our first impressions are very good. Image quality is respectable under tough conditions and excellent when the light entering the camera is maximised.

An excellent feature set in a lightweight body with simple layout means the EOS 800D is likely to entice beginners to further explore the world of interchangeable lens cameras.

With dual pixel CMOS auto focus and effective 5-axis stabilisation, the EOS 800D bridges a gap between photo-oriented DSLRs and mirrorless system cameras more suited to video functions.

Perhaps the most impressive aspects of the EOS 800D are its image quality, powerful performance through Canon’s DIGIC 7 processor and its versatile handling through the live view mode of the articulated rear touchscreen.

They posted also a set of sample photos shot with the Canon Rebel T7i (JPG, RAW, movies). Want to see more sample pics? ephotozine posted another set of sample photos shot with the new Rebel T7i.

It seems Canon made a lot right with the company’s latest entry-level DSLR. The feature set is impressing for a Rebel-class DSLR, the image quality is excellent, there is Dual Pixel AF, and more. Hard not to like this new Canon DSLR.

The new Canon Rebel T7i has a “feature assistant”. Watch the video to learn what it is.

The Canon Rebel T7i camera features a convenient new user interface called Feature Assistant. Both simple and advanced camera features are explained with easy-to-understand graphics and descriptions, letting you explore how different camera settings affect the image. Learn how shutter speed can “pause” fast motion, for example, or how aperture priority can help give you a smooth, artistically-blurred background. To suit your shooting style, a simple tap on the screen can switch between Feature Assistant, shooting mode or Canon’s traditional User Interface (UI).
