The Catechism EOS Rebel T6 / 1300D is an entry-level DSLR targeted toward first-time ILC users and smartphone upgraders. Built around an 18MP APS-C sensor, the T6 offers Wi-Fi with NFC for piece of cake photo sharing when you're out-and-near, and adds a faster processor compared to its predecessor, the Insubordinate T5.

Its closest competitor in the category is the Nikon D3300, which was announced in January 2014 and is getting a little long in the tooth at this point.

As per Rebel tradition, the T6 packages up some tech borrowed from previous-generation higher end models, and that'southward no bad thing. It offers a 9-signal AF module, 1080/30p video and built-in Wi-Fi with NFC. Battery life is a very respectable 500 shots per charge, putting it near the meridian of its class in that respect. Only one of the T6'south headline features isn't on the within of the camera at all, information technology's written on the outside of the box: that sweetness $500 price tag with lens.

The T6 is better tuned to a beginner's needs and hits an aggressively low price point

Offering tech handed downwardly from previous generations at a very reasonable toll is what the Rebel line has traditionally done all-time. The original Digital Insubordinate is merely nigh 13 years onetime, and was essentially a single-dial 10D in a plastic body, priced at $m with kit lens - a breakthrough price-point for DSLRs at the fourth dimension. Besides equally being cheaper still, the T6 is a vastly more capable camera than that pioneering Rebel, and better tuned to a beginner'due south needs.

In short, with the T6, Canon has gathered up diverse components it had lying around on the shelf from Rebels past and put them together in an aggressively priced bundle. Smart business concern move for Canon, merely is it the best mode to spend your $500? Read on.
