Canon has launched a new look for the Rebel T6 entry-level DSLR. The new gray version features a silvery body and a brown grip that are reminiscent of retro metal cameras with leather coverings.
Canon today announced its latest entry-level DSLR, the Rebel T6 (known as the EOS 1300D in other countries). If you're looking for a groundbreaking new camera, unfortunately the T6 isn't what you're hoping for.
Wondering where Canon is headed with its most basic entry-level DSLR? Wonder no more: photos and specs of the soon-to-be-announced Canon Rebel T6 (AKA 1300D) have leaked.
A week ago, it came to light that some Canon T6s and T6si DSLRs were shipping with a strange defect: a large number of tiny white spots can be seen across the surface of the camera sensor, and the spots show up as dark dots in photos taken in certain conditions.
Today Canon has released an official product advisory confirming that this problem exists and promising free repairs for affected customers.
Every once in a while my gear rental company notices something, because of the large quantities of cameras and lenses we buy, that we think people should be aware of. This particular issue won't affect our renters; we've sent the affected cameras back. It may not affect very many people at all, since this is from a relatively small sample size. But I still think it worth mentioning.
