The EOS Rebel T8i is designed for photographers just starting out, or for those looking for an affordable upgrade. Equipped with a 24.1 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor, DIGIC 8 image processor and an ISO range of 100-25600 (expandable to 51200), the EOS Rebel T8i is the most advanced EOS Rebel yet, delivering a high-quality performance that kicks your photos and videos up a notch. Whether you're capturing simple moments with friends or family, or snapping fast-moving subjects like pets or athletes, maintain smooth and accurate focus with the camera's high-speed continuous shooting of up to 7 frames per second (up to 7.5 fps during Live View shooting). This powerful camera also recognizes and remains locked on your subject with its 45-point all cross-type AF system, EOS iTR AF (Face Detection) during viewfinder shooting and Eye Detection AF during Live View shooting. For vloggers, the EOS Rebel T8i offers 4K 24p video capability and vertical video support. Along with the built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology, it makes it easy to share everything you capture. Combined with a 3.0-inch Vari-angle LCD touch screen and a range of advanced operating controls, the EOS Rebel T8i is ready to breathe new life into your creativity. The compact and lightweight EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM packs together legendary Canon optics, a versatile zoom range and quiet operation.
24.1 MP CMOS (APS-C) Sensor and DIGIC 8 image processor
Capture high resolution images with fine details and capture gorgeous 4K video thanks to the powerful 24.1 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor. It also captures rich, dynamic colors, so you can feel confident that your results will be stunning once you turn on the camera. The DIGIC 8 Image Processor helps produce high image quality and fast operation, even in in low light. When using high ISO settings, the image processor helps keep results sharp and detailed in virtually any lighting situation.
Optical Viewfinder with a 45-point All Cross-type AF System and Face Detection
With the equipped 45-point all cross-type autofocus system with Face Detection, you are ensured you can quickly get a subject in focus regardless of its movement or where it is in the frame. Even moving or small subjects can be captured in your desired composition. This comes in handy when trying to photograph fast-moving subjects in unpredictable situations.
High-Speed Continuous Shooting of up to 7.0 fps
With the ability to help capture multiple shots with practically no time wasted, the EOS Rebel T8i camera is equipped with a DIGIC 8 Image Processor that allows the camera to perform quickly and shoot up to 7 frames per second (up to 7.5 fps during live view shooting). The EOS Rebel T8i camera is tailored to meet and even exceed the speed of the action while shooting through the optical viewfinder - ideal for sports, wildlife, moving subjects or anything unpredictable.
Fast and Accurate Dual Pixel CMOS AF with Eye-Detection AF
Adding to its internal design, the EOS Rebel T8i lets you shoot with Dual Pixel CMOS AF for fast, accurate autofocus that helps you get the photo you want right as the moment happens. The EOS Rebel T8i camera features an expansive focus area of approx. 88% horizontal and 100% vertical when working with select compatible EF and EF-S lenses. The Eye Detection AF (during Live View shooting) analyzes the image and automatically determines where to focus based on your subject's eyes.
4K 24p Video Recording and Vertical Video
Capture 4K videos at a frame rate of up to 24p for high definition, cinematic results. Recording at almost four times the resolution of Full HD, you can see your subject in stunning clarity. Beautiful time-lapse videos can also be created in 4K simply and easily with the dedicated Time-lapse Movie mode.
