Customer Ratings & Reviews

I ordered the Canon EOS Rebel T8i earlier this month because I had several events I wanted to photograph. Mind you, I was upgrading from the T5i. What a difference! The T8i is so easy to set. First outing was to a local sunflower farm to practice. Then I took it to a concert, starring Peter Noone, better known as Herman of Herman’s Hermits, and then a dear friend’s, daughter’s wedding. The T8i excelled all year expectations! I shot the wedding using mostly AV setting but loved the Group setting in the scan mode. It kept everyone in the family shots in focus! Very great purchase!

This is my third Canon Rebel EOS. Started out with a T1i, then a T3i. Loved them all, so when it was time to upgrade, I had to have another Canon. I love making photos or the birds at my house, but am in no way a pro. I've been able to get some pretty good photos using the camera's settings (and a four hour local photography class). I love all the different settings and how easy they are to use and understand. The wireless option is a game changer for me. The photo quality is superb and with a good editing software, I think I could do wonders!

Take's very nice photos, amazing pictures, this camera is great

Amazing starter camera loaded with features! 24mgp is a great start. My only complaint is Auto Focus is lacking only slightly. The battery lasts a long time. Love the preview screen.

This is very good camera but doesn’t feel like the several generational improvement I would have expected jumping from a T5i. I am admittedly still using my several year old take on lens. Pros: light weight without feeling cheap, good grip, good autofocus , excellent color saturation with minimal tweaking , reasonable price Cons: indoor autofocus sometimes indecisive, video is inferior to my iPhone 12. Summary : if you want more than your cell phone for still images but don’t have the budget or interest to step up to full frame cameras , this is a good choice . Given the bottom of the market is owned by cell phone cameras or special purpose point and shoots (waterproof or tough cameras, ultrazooms) , the middle is full of snappily responsive and highly portable mirrorless cameras and the top of the market with full frame cameras is coming down close to the $1000 mark, I Don’t think the venerable APS-C dSLR cameras have a long future .

So far an excellent camera for a dedicated beginner as well as an intermediate photographer. It's not really intended to be a point and shoot camera, but it does take really good pictures on Auto. It allows for a plug to be used in place of a battery if your a vlogger. And I like the fact there is free Canon software to work with Raw format images if you want to shoot using that format, but not yet ready to invest in Photoshop.

Before I bought this Canon EOS T8i camera, I had been using my Canon M50 and then Canon M50 Mark II most of the time, because they were simple and easy to use. But there were only few lenses available for these cameras, and I could not use my superior L lenses with them. I had bought these L lenses for my Canon 6D years ago, but I became tired of using my 6D because it was very bulky and heavy. To enable myself to use my L lenses as much as I wanted to, I bought this EOS Rebel T8i, which was a little bit bigger and heavier than the M50 Mark II but much smaller and lighter than the 6D. So now I have two very good and small cameras: the M50 Mark II using the lenses that are native to Canon M series cameras, and the Rebel T8i using the superior L lenses. And I love both of these cameras. But since the T8i uses the superior L lenses, the images it produces are a little bit sharper than the images which the M50 Mark II does. Like the M50 Mark II, this T8i camera is very simple and easy to use. It is designed and intended for beginners, but it has also most of the features desired by advanced photographers. Being of recent vintage, it has most of the functions developed and produced by recent technology, such as 4K for video and for still photography.

This is an awesome camera. I have been a Canon user for years and have a great collection of lenses that are compatible with this camera. It’s lighter than the other Canon SLRs that I have so it’s easy to carry. The WiFi connectivity is easy to use both on an iPhone, IPad or directly to my computer. No more having to take out the memory card to load or review pictures. I set it up also to be a webcam and the autofocus keeps yo in focus and looking sharp. Great auto exposure settings for quick shots and full easy to use manual mode for more advanced situations. I think this is one of the best cameras I have owned. I have had the camera for about a month and love it.

Great quality and fun for beginners. Has many features and settings to take fantastic pictures.

This replaced my T3i that succumbed to too many drops, snow/rainstorms and subzero morning walks. Thus far, I’m happy with it, it’s easy to use, produces excellent photos, and provides several ways to download those photos. I can’t comment on it’s video capability, haven’t used that feature. I’d recommend this camera to anyone contemplating a purchase in this price range.

Camera takes great photos. Easy to use. Bluetooth capability allows for easy transfer of photos to phone while away from home. Love it!

User friendly, you're getting your money's worth on this product. Good investment especially for newbies just starting to explore. Highly recommend this product.

Great camera! It is lightweight and takes great shots. I only wish it came with a more comprehensive user guide.

Excellent overall starter camera for photography/video. Great value ,with the freedom to choose your own starter len(s).

I love my new camera! It takes the most beautiful pictures! And is easy to use and user friendly!

Purchased for my wife as an upgrade from her Rebel T5i. The increase in megapixels and all new 4K video capabilities are fantastic, and the most important part is that her existing EF-S lenses swap right over to the T8. That’s a money saving feature!

I am a photographer and I always update my camera. Cannon are great camera. This camera have more features than other rebels cameras. I love it. No problem at all. I just need to learn more about this camera.

Excellent camera. I love it. My first camera was a canon rebel t3 and also was great. However the canon t8i gives you everything you could possibly want as a photographer or as a hobby.

Great overall. My only criticism would be that the focus is pretty loud, so if you’re recording video, keep that in mind. You can hear it loud and clear.

Every thing I expected from a Canon. Works well and is very easy to operate. Fits with my new upgraded lens also. Would recommend to any one interested in photography.
