CANON EOS 850D / Rebel T8i

Canon’s popular triple D line for enthusiast DSLR camera users gets an upgrade for 2020 with some new mod cons

- 

Say hello to the new Canon EOS 850D / Rebel T8i, the new beginner/enthusiast DSLR, a lightweight, versatile and connected 24-megapixel machine, powered by Canon’s latest speedy tech, and with 4K movie capability.

The Canon EOS 850D / Rebel T8i is the successor to the one-off Canon EOS 77D (like an EOS 750D / Rebel T6i, but with small top LCD plate), and EOS 800D / Rebel T7i, both launched back in early 2017.

Canon sticks with the same size 24.1-megapixel Dual Pixel CMOS APS-C sensor as we’ve seen in the Canon EOS 250D / Rebel SL3 and actually a fraction less megapixels than the older Canon EOS 800D / Rebel T7i. It also retains the same 45-point autofocus system, all cross-type AF points for better and faster autofocus accuracy.

Spec upgrades

Equipped with some minor if not major spec upgrades, which include stepping up from 6fps (frames-persecond) to 7fps for an improved continuous burst mode, and gaining the newer DIGIC 8 processor (based around the same tech as seen in the pocket-powered EOS 250D). Both mods work together for a faster shooting experience for action photography.
