The Canon EOS 800D (also known as the Rebel T7i) sits in the entry-level line-up of Canon's DSLR cameras. It's the successor to last year's 750D, and sits just below the 77D, which is a replacement for the 760D.

The Canon EOS 800D is the latest in a line of SLRs that has scored consistently well in our reviews in recent years. The EOS 750D didn't excel in any particular area but a generous set of features, a sensible price and a consistently high quality added up to a camera that was perfect for home users...

Sophisticated autofocus; especially for video and live view; Fast performance across the board

Automatic exposure settings could be smarter; Beaten by Nikon for noise levels; No 4K video

Canon is hardly rocking the DSLR boat with the new EOS Rebel T7i / 800D – although with the T6i / 750D proving such as success it would have been daft to start from scratch. That said, there have been a number of welcome improvements.

User-friendly interface; Excellent touchscreen control; Live View AF performance; Impressive overall image quality

No 4K video; Plastic finish; Dynamic range could be better; Only 95% viewfinder coverage

For a step up in photo quality or performance from a phone or compact, the Canon EOS Rebel T7i/800D remains a fan favorite.

Significant updates since the 750D; White priority white balance (great for product shots); Improved continuous shooting speed (6fps); Improved battery life (600 shots); Impressive Live view focus performance; Much improved handling; with a better grip and thinner body; Excellent image quality and...
