Build Quality: So let’s start this review off by taking a look at the build quality of the Canon T7i. Now if you’ve never used a DSLR before the T7i might seem like quite a large camera, but in fact compared to most DSLR’s, it’s actually quite small. Just for comparisons sake I’ve a Canon 70D right here and it really makes the T7i feel very light. And to me thats a great thing. Because the T7i is a little smaller, I think that this means you’ll be more likely to take it out with you and to take more photos. For beginners and intermediates thats a great thing. Now I used the Canon T6i a lot last year and not too much has changed on the body of the T7i.Buttons are exactly where you’d want them to be and easy enough to find. Like i said in my review of the Canon 77D however, I do wish the buttons were a little more pronounced because they are a little flat and hard to find when you’ve got your eye up to the viewfinder. At the top of the camera here you’ll notice that this is a little to the bigger brother the 77D. On the right the camera, we have your main mode dial. Essentailyl this where you can change the different setting that you want to shoot in whether that be automatic or the manual modes. One thing you’ll notice is that in the T7i you’re missing the mode dial lock that we saw on the 77d. This isn’t a huge deal to me but it’s one thing to be careful with so you don’t accidentally change your settings. At the top here we have a dedicated record button which is nice to see as well. So overall the build quality is nice on the T7i. It’s definitely a smaller build than most DSLR’s which could be a big bonus if you like to travel or walk around with a lighter camera. LCD Screen: Let’s turn this camera around now and take a quick look at the rear LCD screen. As with last years model, the T7i has a brilliant rear LCD screen. I think Canon actually make the best LCD screens out of any camera company at the moment. The screen is fully articulating which means you can flip up and down and to the side . This is great for setting your composition because it means you can take photos from up high or down low without having to look through the viewfinder. And if you’re a youtube or a blogger, having the ability to flip the screen completely around is great, because it means you can see yourself while you’re filming, which is what I’m doing right now. A little tip is that if you get one of those cheap $5 remotes off of amazon, you start and stop your recording without ever having to touch the camera. Touch Screen: One thing that I didn’t mention before was that the Rear LCD Screen is also a touch screen. Now this might seem like a big deal but it really does make using the camera a breeze. Rather than having to use the dial on the side here to change your settings, you can simply use your finger to quick change what you want. It’s very similar to using your phone and it’s also very responsive. Sure it might seem like a beginners feature, but I’ve found myself using it a lot to move quickly though the menus. Not only, now that the Canon T7i has it’s new dual pixel autofocus system, you can simply touch on the screen where you want it to focus and it will quickly and cinematically come into to focus. It’s great. Dual Pixel AF: Speaking about Autofocus, lets now talk about that new dual pixel autofocus. This has been a feature in the higher end 70d, 80d and 7D Mark 2 cameras and is one of my favourite features. A few years ago, getting good autofocus in video with a DSLR was un heard of, but now with this new system it works great. So I was reall happy when the t7i included it. So how well does it work? Fantastically. It’s almost flawless. Face tracking works great and if you use the spot focus setting, whatever is in the centre frame will smoothly go into focus. You can even do focus pulls by simply pressing on the screen. I’m actually surprised canon put this in a lower end model and I’ve gotta give them props for that, this is a brilliant inclusion in the t7i. Competitors: So if you’re looking to buy the Canon T7i, theres a good chance you would have look at some other cameras in the same price range. So what are the competitors to the T7i. Well the obvious camera that a lot of people might be looking to buy is the Canon 77D. This was released at the same time as the T7i and it’s a fantastic camera. It’s got the same dual pixel autofocus but also has a few minor differences. Firstly we’ve got this lcd screen on the top. This gives you a little bit more information without having to look through the viewfinder. We’ve also got this scroll wheel on the back. To be honest, these aren’t huge differences between the two and the t7i is a smaller camera, so if you can live without those two features, the t7i will be good for you. You might also be looking at the older T6i. I reviewed this camera a lot last year and it was a great beginners dslr. It doesnt that dual pixel autofocus, instead it has a hybrid autofocus. Personally id recommend getting the t7i instead. On the upper end you could look at the Canon 70D or 80D. I actually use a Canon 70d and love it, and the 80d is a step up again. For beginners to intermediates, the t7i will be more than capable, but if you really want a great camera, go for the 80d. On the nikon side you might looking at the Nikon D3400 or the Nikon D5600. Both of these cameras were released last year and they’re both very nice. The D5600 is the most similar and also has a fully articulating screen. If you’ve never used a nikon dslr before it might take you a little while to get used, but again both of these cameras are quite good although I would still give the advantage to the T7i. Video: Lets talk about video now with the T7i. Normally if people ask me which camera I’d recommend for beginner cinematographers, I’d say something like a Canon T3i or T4i, but these days, I’m going to recommend this camera here. And thats its actually packed with a lot of good video featues. We’ve now got 1080p recording at 60 frames per second, which to be fair was a long time in the making. That means you can get some pretty nice slow motion in post. Sure theres not 4k video recording, but i wouldnt trade for the great dual pixel autofocus in video. Like i said before, it works fantastically. Especialyl for beginerrs who arent used to manually focusing, essentially now they can just point the camera where they want it and it’ll be in focus. On the side here we have a dedicated microphone input which means you can add a shotgun mic on top, which is something id recommend as well. Again Im disappointed that that canon havent included a headphone jack in these cameras, but hopefully its something theyll add next year. Weve also got HDR video recording now in the T7i which last year was just in the high end t6s model and I’m really happy to see that we have timelapse mode included now. If youre up an up and coming blogger thats going to be a great feature for you. So overall this is a great little camera for up and coming cinematographers. Burst Mode & AF: So lets quickly talk about the burst mode of the Canon T7i and Im happy to say it’s had a nice upgrade to 6 frames per second. Thats pretty quick for a camera under $750 and just for reference sake it sounds a bit like this. Pretty impressive. That should be fast enough for most sports and even some wildlife shooting.Autofocus is also much improved and should get you through most situations, although I did find it struggled a little bit in very low lighting conditions. So overall as with the Canon 77d i think the T7i is a real winner. Whereas last year they left out a few options, this i think this camera is the real and a big competitor to the 70d and 80d from canon.

So I had a Canon T3i that started to have a few hot pixels, well, actually just one, but it was right in the center of the frame and kind of got on my nerves. I could easily edit it out in photoshop, but still, that camera served me really well, and it was time for an upgrade. The T#i line is what they call a "pro-sumer" line, which is basically between a consumer line camera like a very basic DSLR and a professional DSLR camera, thus the term "pro-sumer." Typically what this meant is an DSLR with an APS-C sized sensor, decent resolution, and some hand-me-down professional features of pro-grade cameras from a few years ago. For this reason, sometimes its not worth upgrading from one of these cameras to the next until at least a few generations have past (meaning if you have a T5i, its not really a giant leap forward to upgrade to a T6i). However, the T7i is somewhat different. When I was doing research on what features it has and what it is missing compared to the pro-grade DSLRs that are considered "current" right now, I was surprised to find very little. The main differences really is that the pro-grade cameras have the LCD display on the top that would display all of your relevant camera settings, and then a few of them would also sport a full-frame sensor. Other than that, the differences are very minor. Something like maybe 1 or 2 frames less in burst mode or something like that. Nothing that would really jump out at you and make you regret not stepping up to the professional grade equivalent (Think it would be the 77D?). It actually has pretty much all of the big features of even their current pro-grade DSLRs, making the T7i probably one of the best prosumer DSLRs to buy. Now one big question I know is on everyones minds. APS-C or Full-Frame? Now the obvious answer is that if youre making money with the camera, go full-frame, if not, APS-C. But actually its not that simple. First, theres no reason someone doing photography as a hobby shouldnt get a full-frame camera, other than the fact that they cost a whole lot more. But if you can afford it and you want the advantages of a full-frame camera (better resolutions, better low-light photography, etc.) and you dont mind the extra bulk, then why not? And on the flip-side, if youre a pro and want a smaller, less bulky camera to take with you on a shoot, then theres also no reason to say an APS-C camera will not be worth buying... But since youre looking at the T7i, let me go over a few actual advantages to an APS-C camera regardless of your status as an amateur or professional. First is the 1.6x multiplier you get to have for free with telephoto lenses. Because the APS-C sensor is smaller, youre basically "cropping" the image that comes in a lens made for a full-frame camera. Thus the term "crop sensor" used to describe something like an APS-C sized sensor. But rather than cropping the image post-process, all of the cameras light sensing pixels work within this cropped area. So if you buy a lens that is meant to work on a full-frame camera (the way you can tell is by the prefix. An "EF" lens is a full frame lens while an EF-S lens is made for the APS-C sensor. You can use an EF lens on any camera, full frame or APS-C, but if you use an EF-S lens on a full-frame camera the edges of the image will be cut off by the edge of the lens), whatever the specifications are, multiply that by 1.6. So for example, I bought the EF 70-300mm IS II USM lens to use with this. So being that this is an APS-C camera, that lens for me is effectively a 112-480mm lens. Of course the downside of this is if you want a more wide angle, a 10mm EF lens would actually be 18mm, meaning no longer wide-angle. But for those you just make sure to buy an EF-S lens, then the specifications will be correct. For me I have the EF-S 18-135mm IS USM lens for it, and at 18mm its perfect for general use wide-angle photography. If I wanted even wider there is an EF-S 10-18mm lens out there as well. The other advantage of having an APS-C camera is your lens selection. Obviously you get to choose between both EF and EF-S lenses, but thats not what I mean by it. Canon has a very wide selection of EF lenses and you will read a lot about what lenses are great and what lenses are not so great. Well, the faults with the "not so great" lenses typically happen toward the outer edges. Thats typically where the complaints would be while the center of the image will generally be good across almost all of Canons quality EF lens selection. Well, since the APS-C sensor "crops" the image out of the center, you effectively crop out the "bad" parts of even the so-called "bad" lenses. So actually a lot of these lenses that get bad reviews, if you use them on an APS-C camera such as the T7i, you will never notice the faults people complain about with those lenses. I mean, this isnt ALWAYS the case, but if you read the consensus is that the outer parts of the image have distortion or is too dark while the center is fine, you likely would not notice those problems, or will notice them a lot less, while using the T7i combined with that lens. The next advantage is something I already touched on earlier. The size and bulk. These prosumer line cameras are typically much smaller and lighter than their pro-grade cousins. However, I am now completely spoiled by USM lenses (specifically their new nano-USM system), and they are unfortunately bulkier than the "kit lenses" that typically come with these cameras. But overall even with the bulkier lenses, itll still be much easier to move around with the T7i than with a 5D or a 1D... Now back to the T7i, it has Canons latest DIGIC processor inside of it, think it is up to 7 now. The auto focus system is a dual pixel AF with phase detection which is great. My old T3i didnt have phase detection, and the way that helps is that when something is out of focused, the camera can now tell which direction it needs to go. Before the camera basically had to guess and if it got less focused, itll then go the other way. So sometimes itll go the right direction the first time, other times itll have to go both ways before it finds the right direction. This sometimes meant getting the subject focused took quite some time. With this new dual pixel with phase detection, it not only knows which way to go, but it also locks into focus much quicker than before. Phase detection has been around for a few years, but the dual pixel CMOS AF is actually new, even to the pro-grade cameras, and it made its way to this prosumer grade camera which is really nice. The ISO is also quite high for a prosumer grade camera, at 25,600. Obviously even with the best cameras using very high ISOs will result in more noise in your photos, but when its capable of such high maximum ISOs, that means you can push the ISO numbers higher with less noise. For an example, with my T3i, once I hit ISO800, the image is already getting quite noisy. On the other hand, with the T7i, Ive shot photos at ISO6400 (8x that for you not so handy at math, lol) before I start to notice some noise. So low-light photography is actually quite nice with the T7i, as are low-light movies. Another feature thats new to me coming from a T3i that I love is the grid that you can have showing in the view-finder. Before you had to buy a replacement viewfinder eye-piece to get a grid and they didnt offer one for the T3i. Now its done digitally and its awesome. My only gripe is that you cant actually customize what grid pattern you want. But its definitely a step in the right direction. The phone also has a whole lot of connectivity features. It can connect to your phone via bluetooth and wifi, and even supports NFC for easy pairing. This is great, not just for the social-media-crazed millennial but also for backing up photos in case you find yourself running out of space on your SD card (and you didnt bring spare SD cards. SHAME!! lol). But yes, this also means you can easily share photos you just took with the T7i on social media. :-) Shooting movies is also great now with the servo AF feature. My T3i required that I manually focused while shooting movies. With the servo AF, the camera will actually follow the moving subject adjusting the focus on the fly. I mean, your cell phone can do it and so could my point-and-shoot Canon camera, but their old DSLRs actually didnt have that feature, but now (well, since like the T5i I think) they do and its very useful. Speaking of movie mode, I very much like that they added another step in the power switch for movie mode instead of requiring you to turn the knob all the way to the very end to get to movie mode. Now you simply flip the switch to it. The swivel LCD is another great feature, although not new, my T3i had it, but still worth a mention. One difference, think starting with the T6i, is the LCD is now also a touchscreen. Although I turned mine off because I dont want to accidentally change anything since a lot of things can touch the screen, from my hands to my nose... Id rather use the buttons which have a lot less chance of accidental activation. But I know everyone has been conditioned to love touchscreens, so its there, hooray. :-) There are like a million features in this phone, so I think Im going to stop listing them one-by-one here and instead point out one more that I think can make the difference between for someone who is unsure of the camera. I think one major reason someone would be unsure enough to be reading this long review before buying this, is actually someone who is thinking about getting this as a first DSLR. Meaning youve either only used point-and-shoot cameras, or even worse, youve only used your cell phone... lol. :-P So you might be a little intimidated by the idea of a DSLR with the different lenses and the switches and the buttons and you were probably hearing me and others rant about the ISO, APS-C, aperture, etc. and wondered what the heck that is and why they are good or bad... Well, completely understandable. And while I recommend reading some good books on the topic ( Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson is an excellent one BTW), this phone has a new feature that is sure to make the transition a lot easier and less intimidating. Now the default LCD information view shows like a feature guide. Basically when you select a mode on the knob, the LCD will actually display an easy to understand summary of what that mode is called and basically what it means for your photo. Sometimes with some basic graphics to represent the differences. I turned this off and is using the old-style view, not because Im a snob, but because I have used DSLRs before and have a little technical experience with it to know what they mean. The guided view is just too bright and I like the dark theme of the standard information view. But this new way of showing the different modes is actually quite awesome if youre just starting out with DSLR photography. I hope Ive been somewhat informative with this review, but to end it, I would like to mention a few things I dont really like or things I would like to see improved or changed about this camera. First, I already kind of mentioned, but the grid view inside the viewfinder, they should give you options and the "thirds" grid should definitely be an option as the "rule of thirds" is a very good guide to follow in the absence of a clearer way to frame a photo. I hope in their future cameras they will have this. Or if somehow a firmware upgrade could add this, Im not sure how hard-wired this grid is in the viewfinder if moving the lines would even be possible through software... Another thing I dont like is how they decided to "encode" their batteries. Im sure theres some advantage to it, most likely safety to ensure youre using a genuine Canon battery they can quality control, but how its affected me is that now buying an aftermarket battery means that you wont get a read-out of how much power you have left while using them. Not a huge deal, but it is kind of annoying. I like to have spare batteries, but at almost $60 a pop, no way I can afford to have a genuine Canon one. So Ill have to live with one made by a 3rd party and not knowing how much power is left in it if I have to use it... It also means the Canon charger will refuse to charge these batteries, so the 3rd party charger will be required to charge up these 3rd party batteries... The last downside, and perhaps the biggest one for some people, is the lack of 4K video recording. Its kind of a disappointment that phones can do it now but this DSLR still cannot. There are some comparably priced DSLRs from Nikon and others like Sony that have this feature. But honestly, even without this I will still prefer to stay with Canon simply because your camera is only as good as your lens, and Canon has probably the best lenses out there, but definitely without question has the widest selection of lenses to choose from. Besides those few things though, Im very satisfied with this camera so far. HIGHLY recommend.

I purchased this camera to replace my Rebel xsi, and so far I have not been disappointed! The WiFi/bluetooth feature is very convenient! I am able to transfer photos to my phone for immediate sharing. Better capture of images in low light situations than my previous camera. Vari-angle screen has been useful as well, for low-angle shots and over head shots. (And selfies or usies!) It is also a touch screen, but I forget and dont use it. The feature assistant is great for newbies to photography. It can be switched off to use the traditional user interface if preferred. Camera is fast, color is nice, images are sharp and beautiful! I was able to use all of my lenses from my previous Rebel. But not the batteries or the battery grip. But thats not a huge deal, as it was time to replace those as well.

I love the range of the 18-135mm 7.5x zoom general purpose lens. I can take it to a ballgame or park and get almost all I need. At 135mm, you are talking a magnification of around 4 on an APS-C sensor and at 18mm a wide-angle view of about .67 magnification. I have the Canon 70-30mm EF USM IS II lens for closeups of sports and wildlife action. The T7i is a worthwhile upgrade from the T5i I previously purchased. Without getting into the expensive full-frame cameras, I received a 33% upgrade in megapixels, double the effective ISO, and slightly faster burst speed, from 5 to 6. The auto-focus is improved and buttons for quick access to display modes and ISO added. The built-in WiFi will allow quick transfer to mobile devices with the Canon app only. Bluetooth is only for camera control, and pictures cannot be transferred via bluetooth.

I love this camera. I recently got into film making and was looking for an entry level camera to start with, my choices were between the 80D, 77D and the T7i. Upon my research I realized that all have the same size image sensor at 24 MP and the same basic software except the 77D & T7i have the newer Digic 7 processor & 80D has the Digic 6, the 80D also has more features and is weather sealed. However, in terms of image quality on both video and photos the result is basically the same excellent!!!. The auto focus on this camera is amazing and really helps with filming at events. I think this camera is good value for your money if you are now starting out. My advice if you are looking to choose between the 3 cameras and you are new film making or photography buy this camera and invest your money in good lenses. I recently picked up the 50 mm 1.8 along with this purchase and the depth of field has taken my photos to a new level. Im pleased with this purchase.

I am in love with this camera! I got in for a UK trip I took in August and I do not regret this purchase. I did a lot of research to figure out which camera would work the best for what I wanted it to do and so I picked this one. It is great for so many types of photography whether you are shooting landscapes, close-ups, night photography, food, portraits, etc. I purchased the 24 mm and 50 mm lens separately and used them exclusively with this camera and what amazing shots I got from it! All of the images I took were with this camera and the two above mentioned lenses. 50 mm is great for portrait photos or when you want to get really beautiful Boka and I loved using the 24 mm lens for landscape photography and night shots. Do not hesitate, this is the camera to get.

The improvements (features) in this body make it worth the price, plus all my prior lenses work extremely well with this camera. Pictures are slightly sharper and colors are slightly more bright. I love the results to date and I am passing on my older EOS Rebel bodies to my children/grandchildren.

This camera is great! I only need the body since I had a previous camera with lenses already. The WiFi feature on this camera is super easy to download your pictures on a computer or even your cellphone! I love cannons products and they are easy to use. If youre looking for a new camera this would be the one I recommend. I use it for sports pictures and have to say the speed on the shutter is fantastic! Thank you so much for a great product!

Delivered on time. Day 1 I am writing this review.Package came came in very good condition but camera box is not sealed.My first DSLR camera. T7 has Awesome grip and compact with all features what i expected. After one month of research purchased this model. Took some pics with my prime (50mm) lens and came very well. Touch and LCD is really good. More shortcut buttons like wifi, brightness, focus change so without using LCD too it is easy to access all functions when viewing through view finder. Buffer is good, I didnt face any delay or loading when taking Raw+Jpeg pic too. with tax got for 810$ which was not on my budget but I found only this camera at this price available in market with great features. Canon T7 Vs 77D Vs 80 D - go for T7 if you have budget and more using it in photography. Video is also really good. I went off my budget for the only reason of FOCUS points and Dual Auto Focus and its worth it. Video focus too awesome. Personal suggestion, If you are looking for budget camera(Crop Sensor), get some good camera body based on your regular usage(photo or video) then invest on good lens. Dont go for trash bundle package with camera, quality will not be good. I tried T6 2 weeks back and I returned immediately then chose t7 body alone. Spend more time on research before ordering . Got a San Disk (u3 c10) 32GB memory card for this 32$. Prime lens 50 MM got for 135$. Total 960$ spend for body+memory card+ prime lense 50mm
