The Rebel T6 doesn't represent a major upgrade from its predecessor however, the EOS Rebel T5 / EOS 1200D– which itself was hardly a huge overhaul of the EOS Rebel T4 / EOS 1100D.

Update: The Canon EOS Rebel T6 (badged as the EOS 1300D outside the US) has since been replaced by the EOS Rebel T7 / EOS 2000D , with the biggest change the arrival of 24MP sensor on the newer camera. It's a good option for beginners, but there are better spec'd entry-level DSLRs available if you're willing to pay a little more.Canon's pursuit for excellence is reflected in the images perfectly captured on its EOS DSLR cameras. Make no mistake, if you’re jumping from a compact camera or smartphone, then the quality of the 1300D’s images will impress, despite its age. As a result, we have just 3fps continuous shooting on offer, and a buffer that can only cope with six raw files at a time. These are the cameras with which the consumer starts their journey with a brand – and many of those consumers will stay with that brand for a very long time.

On the screen, you can view camera settings like AF, ISO, metering, AF point selection and check out different flash options. A scrolling dial can be found close to the shutter-release button, which you use to set the aperture (when shooting in aperture priority mode), or the shutter speed (when shooting in shutter priority mode).Canon’s entry-level DSLR has now been succeeded by the Canon EOS 2000D, but could still offer decent value for money as a second-hand option for those looking to get on the first rung of the DSLR ladder.
