Canon announced three new camera models today, which
include the EOS Rebel T7i (also known as 800D outside the US and Kiss K9i in
Japan) and the EOS 77D DSLRs and the EOS M6 mirrorless camera.
The Rebel T7i is a budget DSLR and an update to the
Rebel T6i (700D). It features the same 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor but with a
new 45-point all cross-type AF system for the optical viewfinder and Canon's
Dual Pixel CMOS AF with phase detection in live view. It also has the new DIGIC
7 image processor and is capable of 6.0fps burst rate and ISO 100-25600. The
T71 also includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and NFC for added connectivity options. The
T7i also adds HDR movie and time lapse movie modes over the T6i.
The Rebel T7i will be available in April 2017 for US$ 749.99 body-only, US$ 899.99 with the new EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens and US$ 1,299 with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens.
The EOS 77D is like a budget 80D, with a 24.2
megapixel APS-C sensor with 45-point all cross-type AF system, Dual Pixel CMOS
AF, DIGIC 7 image processor, 7650-pixel RBG+IR Metering Sensor, Anti-Flicker
shooting mode, top LCD panel and quick control dial. It comes with all the
connectivity options on the T7i.
The 77D will be available in April 2017 for US$ 899.99
body-only, US$ 1,049 with the new EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens and US$ 1,499 with
the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens.
Lastly, there is the Canon M6, the newest entrant
into the Canon mirrorless lineup. Despite the name, the M6 sits under the M5
and replaces the previous M3. It has a 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor with Dual
Pixel CMOS AF with phase detection, DIGIC 7 image processor, 7.0 fps burst
rate, 9.0 fps with AF lock, ISO 100-25600, five-axis image stabilization when used
with compatible lenses, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and NFC, 3.0-inch tilting touchscreen,
and 1080p60 video.
The EOS M6 will be available in April 2017 for US$ 779.99 body-only, US$ 899.99 with EF-M 15-45mm/F3.5-6.3 IS STM zoom kit lens and US$ 1,279.99 with the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens.
Canon also announced the new EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS
STM lens which is 20% smaller than the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens. It's
priced at US$ 249.99. Then there's the Wireless Remote Control BR-E1, a Bluetooth
remote that works with all three cameras mentioned above, letting you control
them within a 16-foot radius from the camera. It's priced at US$ 50.
