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.

Amazing camera for the price! I purchased this camera not knowing anything about dslr's. Which was fine for me since I was wanting to get into Photography. It was a bit overwhelming at first; however with a little research on Photography websites and youtube. I was able to figure everything out with ease. This camera has great pixel rate, wi-fi, and performs the same as the 70d(only difference between the 2 is body style and that it, and costs less!!!) IF you're beginner to photography, like myself.. I would recommend this camera 1000%. Its great for video and blogging since the screen folds out so you can have it facing you so you know where your camera is pointing and you can see yourself. I would get this camera before the t6, t5i and t5 any day! Don't even waste your time with those. And usually best buy runs specials where you can get a extra lens at a discount price. since it comes with your standard lens, you can get a telephoto 55mm-250mm for $150 and with the camera it comes out to $899. definitely a great deal! usually the lens alone is $299. Definitely get it with protection plan as well to save you from accidental issues. WORTH EVERY PENNY!

I have always been interested in photography, since highschool, but I never had the funds available to buy a nice DSLR camera like I wanted. I just couldn't justify buying a point & shoot when I knew I could save the money to put it towards what I really wanted. One day I realized I had enough money saved up to get one. I spent three days straight looking through hundreds of reviews, watching youtube videos, comparing the specs of the different cameras... and it came down to either this one (the t6i, my friend had the t5i and I liked it but the t6i had a few extra features that I figured would be worth the price difference, also it's always nice to have a newer model with newer tech) and a Nikon (D5300??? Something like that, can't remember it now). What made me choose this one is that even though the Nikon had more flexibility when it came to what it was able to do... this camera was more user friendly, specifically for beginners. When I was watching the tutorial videos on youtube, the Nikon was wonderful, but the price was almost $800 more, and on top of that this camera was compatible with many more brands of lenses and accessories than the Nikon was. The reason why this review isn't a "verified purchase" is because I actually didn't end up getting it through best buy. I got SUPER lucky and found a brand new one that hadn't been used, only taken out of the box) (full kit with lens and everything, they even included a lens hood for free!). The eBay seller purchased it from Best Buy only a month prior to me finding it, and they had not yet registered it online or activated the warranty through Canon. So it was brand new in the box (and I only paid $605, so YAY!) They didn't mind selling it for cheaper because it was a gift so technically any money back was profit to them. Regardless, even if this item is purchased in store, it's DEFINITELY worth it in my opinion. I haven't completely figured out ALL of the settings and configurations, but I have a basic knowledge of photography and this will be a super fun camera to learn with!

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.

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.

So I spent two months researching a camera that was less than $1000 that came ready to shoot. I got tired of the point and click photos and wanted something that would give me some great photos of my hobbies and my daughter. The auto-focus is lightning fast and I can get exactly the shot I was looking for. The wireless feature is handy as I can remote control the T6i from my android phone for those super long exposures (so I don't inadvertently move the camera by pressing the button). The large/raw files come out as 6000x4000 pixels which is more than enough resolution to get amazing photos on my 5K imac. I can't express how much the best buy sales rep was (I believe she was Canon certified). She gave me a run down on some of the basics and invited me to come back for more instruction should I want it (Not just functionality, but how to obtain particular shots). She also told me about the protection service. After seeing a professional photographer buddy get hit in the face/camera with a race tire (at a race track, car slid off the track and into some breakaway tires) it was an easy decision (comes with an annual professional cleaning/checkup too). I love that Best Buy puts subject matter experts in their stores, and has hands on demos for a lot of products. You just can't get that type of interaction online. Will be going back when I'm ready to upgrade.

I was nervous about getting this camera and not staying with a simple point and shoot type camera. But needed something to take great shots at high school sporting events from the bleachers. Not wanting to be on the sidelines trying to get pictures. I have ONLY had it a week and took over 500 photos at last weeks Varsity football game. The pictures were so clear, and with the 2 lens I bought with it in a bundle I was all set to shoot at the varsity football game and got some great shots. I only had to delete about 20-30 photos that were not clear and most were probably my error and not being ready at the time of trying to take a picture. Found the camera easy to use! Have not even looked at the manual yet so I am sure this camera can and will do way more than I will ever do with it. But it is the perfect camera for me to take pictures with for scrapbooks, etc..... And I dont even have to stand on the sidelines to get the GREAT shots! A friend bought a new camera at the same time but not the same one I got. She is returning hers because the pictures were not as good in all lighting conditions at a football game as mine were!

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.
