About this model
The Canon EOS 1300D is a straightforward entry-level DSLR, also sold as the Rebel T6 in some regions. Its 18-megapixel APS-C sensor is far larger than a phone or compact camera sensor, giving cleaner low-light images and easy background blur. A 9-point autofocus system and 3 frames-per-second burst handle everyday shooting, while the 3-inch LCD and optical viewfinder make framing simple. Built-in Wi-Fi with NFC lets you transfer photos to a phone and shoot remotely using Canon's Camera Connect app. This kit includes the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens, a stabilised standard zoom covering wide-angle to short telephoto – a good starting point for learning photography.
