Canon - EOS Rebel T6i DSLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm IS STM Lens - Black

The Good. I chose this camera because most astrophotography software is available for Canon. Canon was smart to share their APIs, and include WiFi. The camera has an excelente processor for low light. It also takes great stills. It actually is considerably better than Canon 70d for astrophotography!! That was a pleasant surprise. The low light performance, noise reduction, the sensitivity and extra pixel density, is impressive. I would not touch any camera at any price if it did not include WiFi (Canon 7DII is an example) that would not allow the user to remotely control the camera. The T6i shines here, while the competition with proprietary solutions pale in comparison to versatility that Canon offers with Canon T6i, M3 and 70D. Canon DSLR functionality can be extended through third party solutions. Timelapse, remote live view, preprogrammed options, HDR, bracketing and movies and so much more, that allow this camera to behave like a semi-professional one. This was the second surprise. Quality in low light is better than Sony, Noise reduction works flawlessly. This is why I'm satisfied with this purchase. The bad. It's not a camera meant for movies, where the competition trashes it, as they track a subject and refocus on it while it moves. The T6i falls flat here. Canon, give us a battery that will last more than a couple hours of continuous use at a reasonable price. 50$ is not reasonable. The original is useless, and the power adapter over 100$ is a joke. An 8v 3amp regulated power supply can be bought for considerable less. Accessories cost an arm and a leg! Canon needs to address this ASAP, if they intend to sell their T6i or T6s inventories. One advice to Canon, you would gain more loyalty from your consumer base, if you gave the T6i additional options through an update with options found on the 70D. Slow motion photography, more ISO settings, simple file transfer thorough WiFi, K option to set white balance, to name a few. It would go a long way in the market place.

Bought T6i last Friday two days before official launch date. This is my first DSLR and second canon camera after Elan IIE. Bought this one with extra Canon f1.8/50mm fixed lense for sharp closeups and it did. Canon never disappointed me when it comes to picture quality and camera built and this time too No surprises. Setup was a breeze even for my 13 year old who configured the wifi and canon connect in no time. Picture quality is just awesome in all modes. This is more than a starter camera packed with lot of high end features. Best part is that all my exisiting Canon lenses worked like a charm and that is another reason why I choose Canon T6i over Nikon D5500. Can't really comment on the battery life yet as it is still going strong. The built is sturdy and the camera weight is just right. Its a little expansive though as compared to similar cameras like Nikon D5500 so it could be a tough choice for the first timers.

Great camera for a beginner. Check my photos below.

About two years ago, I took up photography as a new hobby. At that time, I bought a Canon Rebel T5. I felt my skills had improved so I bought the T6i as an upgrade. I really enjoy using the T6i. I especially love the touch screen controls. It's much easier to change settings because I don't have to remember how to do it. I just touch the "Q" and I'm able to make needed changes quickly and easily. I also like the wifi capability of this camera. I can send pictures to my phone or post pictures online platforms using my phone or tablet. I wish the process took fewer steps, but it is the same process as a point and shoot camera I own. There is a big difference between the sensor in the T5 and T6. The T6 pictures are so much sharper - even to my untrained eye. This is a good camera for beginners. It gives the novice photographer room to grow.

I am so glad I purchased this camera yesterday. I researched on the internet before going in. This camera got good reviews, and I was happy with the rebel xsi that I have, but I was thinking about upgrading. I was honest with the sales rep, and told him I probably waste my money buying these great cameras, then only use auto. He told me the differences with the cameras and what an improvement I would notice, even on auto :). I was really wanting to improve speed, and pixels. I already had a macro lens, so I took a picture sitting on the sofa with my cat on the coffee table. I wanted to test continuous shots. He was chewing on a figurine. When I installed the pics on my computer, I could not believe what I was seeing. I could see tiny water droplets running down the inside of his mouth. The photos were crystal clear. I can't wait to take photos of my great grand kids. Camera seems bigger and heavier than my xsi, but I like it. It feels solid in my hands when I take the photos, and not too bulky. I am so happy.

Loaded with all the good stuff we've all been waiting for from Canon. 24 MP, WiFi Connectivity. Crisp pictures and video.

I decided to upgrade to the T6i from a Nikon 5100. The Canon is so much easier to use, and takes great looking pictures.

I purchased this camera for my shutterbug wife who owned and lost a previous version of the EOS Rebel. The EOS Rebel T6i is an awesome camera. The picture quality is fantastic!!! The first thing I did was connect it to my smartphone and remotely take a picture and view the pictures on the camera. I still have to connect it to the web service so I can upload and share pictures. Overall, this camera is fantastic.
