This camera is definitely a step up from my previous Canon T3i. It has a lighter body, greater megapixels, and autofocus for video. However, the slight downside is it has a softer focus that can only be seen when previewed on computer or laptop. If you're looking through the camera's monitor, it'll look great but when doing a manual focusing, it'll have a softer focus than my previous T3i. I don't really know what's wrong with it. Everything else works great but the softer focus does set me off sometimes especially doing portraits. Otherwise, it's a great camera for a beginner and definitely a step up from the older Canon T models.

Excellent & user friendly. Love the touch screen & WiFi connection!

After doing comparative research, I found this Canon was the best one in my price range to match with my new Tamron 18-400mm lens. It is comparatively light to carry and comfortable to use.

This is my second DSLR. I upgraded from a Canon T2i which was another great camera but I really wanted something with a screen that flips out for recording. I wanted countless videos and compared this to the Canon 80D but the price difference made this purchase a no brainers as the spec difference for the 2 cameras is very minimal. I'm more than happy with my purchase.

This is my second canon rebel, my first was an eos rebel xsi. The video, is actually really good, the pictures are beautiful. I bought the camera, to replace my older model, plus I wanted video. The camera is easy to use, the flip screen is also a plus. I would defiantly recommend this camera for beginner and intermediate.
