- DPReview 75/100
I didn’t expect a lot of surprises on these cameras, and I didn’t get any. The Rebel series has has been a reliable bookend to Canon’s EOS line of cameras for many years.
-
[T]he Canon T6i is not a ground-breaking camera, but it does offers useful upgrades over its predecessor, especially in terms of image resolution and autofocus, as well as built-in Wi-Fi with NFC.
-
There’s a lot the 750D shares with the 760D with regard to its innards, but on the outside it’s clear that the 750D’s ergonomics are better tailored for beginners who want a DSLR they can pick up and feel comfortable with straight away.
-
Keeping a review of the incredibly-feature-laden Rebel T6i concise but complete is a difficult balance to find and this review is not a complete description of every Rebel T6i feature available.
-
If you already have a Canon EOS xxD camera of a lower resolution, and want higher image quality with better detail, then the Canon EOS 750D is worth investing in, especially if you already have Canon lenses.
-
The Canon EOS 750D/Rebel T6i marks the tenth generation in a series that started way back in 2003 with the 300D/Rebel. However, each revision hasn’t always brought significant improvements.
-
The Canon EOS Rebel T6i D-SLR omits some of the features found in its fraternal twin, the T6s, but costs less.
-
A very polished and well-thought out camera, the EOS Rebel T6i / EOS 750D is a great introduction to DSLR photography for those looking to make the step up from a compact or smartphone.
- CNET 7.9/10
The Canon EOS Rebel T6i/750D continues the line’s tradition of being the crowd-pleasing choice for family photographers.
- Photo Review 8.8/10
Like its predecessor, the EOS 750D will suit buyers who want a reliable, price-competitive, high-resolution DSLR camera with easy-to-use automated shooting modes and user-adjustable controls for both still pictures and Full HD video clips.
-
We're rather fond of the Canon EOS 750D. It's proven a solid companion for a variety of shooting scenarios and capturing some great travel shots, particularly thanks to that vari-angle LCD screen.
-
[A] spectacularly easy-to-use entry-level snapper that takes spectacularly sharp snaps.
-
The Canon EOS Rebel T6i (Kiss X8i in Japan and EOS 750D in the rest of the world) is a basic lightweight DSLR with great performance. It's easy to shoot, shoots well, and the pictures look much better than many other brands of cameras.
-
After spending time with the Canon EOS 750D, the changes made in this model make a great camera, even better. Most of the improvement claims do stack up and that WiFi inclusion is seriously long overdue, but now much appreciated.
-
If you're upgrading from the Canon T5i, this is a solid upgrade.
-
Now, this is the new model of the very popular T5i and comes with a number of features that I've got to say that I've been very impressed with, including an upgraded sensor and a very nice new hybrid autofocus system.
-
For the price point and the amount of features, this is a no-brainer that you should go for it. If your budget is around 7 to $800 for the body.
-
The Canon EOS Rebel T6i (750D) is not just a simple upgrade from the T5i, it's an evolution, and not just the evolution of Canon's entry level lineup but the evolution and possibilities for the future that Canon will have to offer.
-
So if you have a 700D or 650 or 550, anyone upgrading to the 750D or the 760D is totally worthwhile.
