About this model
The Canon EOS 800D (also known as the Rebel T7i) is a versatile DSLR for photographers stepping up from a phone or entry-level camera. Its 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor delivers detailed images with shallow depth of field, while Dual Pixel CMOS AF provides smooth, fast autofocus in live view and Full HD video. The 3-inch vari-angle touchscreen makes it easy to shoot from high or low angles, and the optical viewfinder offers a clear, lag-free view. This kit includes the EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens – a compact standard zoom with image stabilisation and near-silent stepping motor focusing, ideal for everyday shooting and video. With built-in Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth, you can transfer images wirelessly to a smartphone or tablet.
