No touchscreen control.
95% viewfinder only.
You will have a slow focusing in live view.
Only 18MP resolution.
2. Canon EOS 1500D DSLR Camera Body Dual kit with EF-S 18-55 IS II + 55-250 IS II lens (16 GB Memory Card & Carry Case ) (Black)
What you will love about it:
The Canon EOS 1500D Digital SLR Camera comes with a 24.1MP APS-C CMOS sensor paired with a DIGIC 4+ processor, allowing 14-bit RAWs (the only camera at its price range to offer this). It has a rather limited ISO range of 100-6400, expandable to ISO 12,800. Shutterspeed is from 30sec to 1/4000sec.
For AF, it has a 9-point phase-detection system, with only one cross-type AF point at the center of the frame sensitive to f/5.6, enabling One-Shot AF, AI Servo AF, or automatic AI Focus AF. Live view AF is enabled by contrast detection, but includes face detection as well. Focus works all the way down to 0 EV. In burst shooting, the continuous frame rates is 3fps. Exposure metering is enabled via a 63-zone system. You can choose between evaluative, partial, spot, or center-weighted average. Exposure can be compensated by ±5EV, and autoexposure bracketing is available for ±2EV.
Apart from the standard aperture or shutter priority, program, and fully manual exposure modes, the camera offers beginners with nine auto modes directly through the mode dial, denoted by easily understandable icons—fully automatic, flash-off, Creative Auto (CA), portrait, landscape, close-up, sports, food, night portrait. The CA mode lets you to customise the ambience, flash, and depth of field preferences, for a greater degree of control. Within auto modes, you can additionally enable ‘Shoot by Ambience’ settings, with eight options to play with tones and contrast—Standard, Vivid, Soft, Warm, Intense, Cool, Brighter, Darker, and Monochrome (this has three colour tones including Sepia, Black and White, and Blue). The final option on the dial is video (full HD at 30fps). There are creative filters effects as well—Grainy B/W, Soft focus, Fish-eye, Toy camera, and Miniature.
The camera comes with a reasonably powerful in-built flash with a guide number of 9.2m at ISO 100. The E-TTL II metered flash features flash exposure (FE) Lock, Auto pop-up, and can be manually enabled as well. The EOS 1500D also features a non-tilting 3-inch 920k-dot LCD. A flap at the side conceals ports for a wired remote, mini USB (oddly enough), and mini HDMI. Users can use the in-built WiFi/NFC to transfer their files onto their smart devices using the Canon Camera Connect app. The camera has a steel lens mount.
The body is made of poly carbonate and weighs a very portable 475g. It feels reasonably sturdy though, without any telltale squeaks or creaks. On the top of the camera, all the controls are placed on the right, including the pop-up flash button, allowing easy single-handed use. The flash needs to be enabled manually in the night mode, close up mode, and portrait mode, depending on lighting conditions and the desired effect.
It comes with beginner friendly physical control arrangement.ISO, White Balance (WB), and AF and drive modes have dedicated buttons to quickly change settings. Switching between modes shows a brief description on the LCD. The menu is simplistic and friendly as well. The camera uses bursts of flash as AF-assist to focus in dimly lit conditions, which can be annoying if you want to be inconspicuous. It can be disabled under Custom Function Settings. WB has six easily accessible presets, a custom WB, and two auto WB options—Ambience Priority (to retain tonal warmth) and White Priority (to eliminate colour casts).
The new sensor does quite well with image quality at lower ISO settings. Up to ISO 1600, image quality is rather good, and then starts showing increasing luminance and chrominance noise after that, with images at ISO 6400 requiring significant noise correction. Converting RAWs separately delivers the best results at higher ISO settings, especially considering they are 14-bit files.
What you may not like about it:
While focusing the DSLR is making too much noise and its the kind of annoying that u will lose interest in taking photos.
No shortcut or assigned button to change F stop (aperture). A manufacturer who is keeping dedicated button for changing the ISO have to thing about the importance of aperture.
You will not be able to change the focusing point by pressing the round dial in the system, if u press it some other setup will open up.
The output image quality is actually not mind blowing. It is just decent.
If u use camera flash to snap a pic during focusing it will flicker like anything and it will annoy and irritate the subject.
Whatever low ISO you use noise will b there and when i went to service center to ask about this they were saying use a prime lens to get good output.
What you will love about it:
The Canon EOS 200D is designed for people making the transition from a smartphone or compact camera. It’s remarkably small and light for an SLR, coming in at around 8mm less in all three dimensions than the Canon EOS 800D.
It has a smallish 3in LCD, too, but this has the advantage of boosting battery life. The 200D is rated at 650 shots compared with the 800D’s 600 shots. Surprisingly, the view through the optical viewfinder is slightly larger than the 800D’s, at 0.87x compared to the 800D’s 0.82x. 0.87x equates to 0.54x on a full-frame camera. The electronic viewfinders on rival CSCs are significantly larger as well.
You will be getting Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC for wireless communication with iOS and Android devices, computers and printers. NFC should make pairing for the first time a cinch but establishing a connection first time a is rather tortuous process.
There is a remote shooting function includes touchscreen-controlled auto focus plus access to exposure, white balance and drive mode settings. It can also be used as a remote video monitor while recording. Browsing and transferring photos and videos are supported and there’s a handy option to apply star ratings in the app.
Canon’s Dual Pixel sensor technology dramatically speeds up auto focus performance when shooting in live view mode and it also delivers smooth, responsive auto focus when recording videos. The best part is the fast performance when using the rear screen, so it’s great to have this from an SLR, too.
The video quality is generally excellent with the same flattering colours as from the Canon EOS 200D’s JPEGs and no sign of noise at modest ISO speeds. Detail levels are respectable but Sony and Panasonic CSCs capture finer details in their 1080p footage. They also support 4K video recording, which the Canon lacks. The 200D’s videos are good enough for most purposes, though, and the rock solid autofocus performance is arguably more useful than 4K anyway.
It uses the same sensor and DIGIC 7 processor as the Canon EOS 800D so it’s no surprise that their image quality and performance are hard to separate. The 200D captured a shot every 0.3 seconds when using the viewfinder, and between 0.3 and 0.9 seconds in live view mode.
The JPEGs exhibited flattering colours, particularly for skin tones, but some shots were a little too oversaturated for my tastes. Automatic exposure settings were mostly well judged but, unlike most rival cameras, the 200D doesn’t increase its shutter speed when it’s pointed at a moving subject. That means shots taken indoors or in overcast conditions are susceptible to motion blur. It’s easily avoided using shutter priority mode if you’re happy to take control.
What you may not like about it:
The card slot is next to the battery compartment so it can’t be accessed when the camera is mounted on a tripod.
Auto focus with the viewfinder is relatively basic.
Some manual controls are hard to access
What you will love about it:
The Canon EOS 80D 24.2MP Digital SLR Camera has a wide-area, 45-point, all cross-type AF system1. Excellent in dim light, it has improved low luminance performance to EV -3 and is compatible with most EF lenses (lenses with maximum apertures of f/8 or higher, and some lenses with extenders attached may operate at a maximum of 27 points). It also features 4 AF area selection modes, including user-selectable Single-point AF, Zone AF, Large Zone AF and 45-point AF auto selection.
The Intelligent Viewfinder provides a bright and comprehensive view. Approximately 100% coverage means there’s virtually no guesswork when composing, and with all settings available at a glance, the Intelligent Viewfinder helps photographers keep their eye on their subject to capture the image at the right instant. The Intelligent Viewfinder displays a variety of information including AF points, AF mode and a grid display, all of which can be hidden for manual focus or subject observation.
The EOS 80D camera features a 24.2 Megapixel (APS-C) CMOS sensor that captures high-resolution images and features refined individual pixels that enable high ISO speeds of 16000 for still photographs (expandable to 25600) and 12800 for movies (expandable to 16000, 25600). Equipped with high resolution and high sensitivity, the sensor works with the camera’s DIGIC 6 Image Processor to enable Dual Pixel CMOS AF during Live View operation, and while capturing both Full HD 60p and Full HD HDR movies.
Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF delivers fast, smooth and accurate AF and tracking during Live View and movie shooting. Equipped with phase-difference detection autofocus, it provides virtually no loss in image quality with extended coverage across approximately 80% of the image plane.
The Dual Pixel CMOS AF excels with video shooting, helping to ensure focus is achieved naturally and precisely, even when switching between subjects. Combined with the predictive power of Movie Servo AF, subjects in motion are smoothly tracked.
The camera comes with a built-in Wi-Fi2 connectivity means exposure settings can be operated wirelessly using a compatible smartphone2 with the free Canon Camera Connect app2. Shoot remotely, review images and easily transfer and save images directly from the camera to a smartphone. DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compatibility and Local Area Network (LAN) connectivity means easy sharing and transfer. Upload to CANON iMAGE GATEWAY4 for quick sharing on social networking sites, and print photos on a wireless PictBridge-certified printer without needing a PC.
The built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) helps provide a virtually seamless connection to numerous compatible Android smartphones3, and the Canon Connect Station CS100. To transfer your photos and videos, simply tap the EOS 80D camera to the Connect Station CS100. With the Connect Station CS100, you can store, view and organize all of your photos and videos from just one device.
It’s easy to capture and share high-definition, sharp and beautifully exposed movies. Dual Pixel CMOS AF provides fast focus, and Movie Servo AF tracking helps maintain focus in the action. The Vari-angle Touchscreen monitor makes composing easy, while Creative Filters and a Video Snapshot feature encourage experimentation. Both MOV and MP4 formats are supported for fast and easy sharing. Manual volume recording control, digital zooming and a headphone terminal add to the impressive collection of high-end moviemaking features.
A Vari-angle Touchscreen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II helps capture videos and stills at a variety of angles, with up to 270° of vertical rotation and up to 175° of horizontal rotation. It delivers intuitive touch panel operation, easy setting access and Touch AF. Displaying fine detail (at approximately 1.04 million dots), this screen can be ideal for composing and reviewing images. Smudge-resistant coating helps minimize fingerprints and maintain a clear image display, even in bright light.
The DIGIC 6 Image Processor helps provide excellent image quality and processing speed. High light sensitivity allows for high resolution with less noise when shooting in dark conditions at ISO 12800. It also delivers full resolution high-speed continuous still shooting and distortion correction in-camera. Video recording in MP4 format provides seamless compatibility with mobile devices and tablets and preserves space on your memory card while improving playback on mobile devices. Recording HD videos using HDR movie feature is possible.
The EOS 80D camera features a wide ISO range of ISO 100–16000 (expandable to 25600) for stills and ISO 100–12800 (expandable to 16000/25600) for movies, performing brilliantly in low-light shooting even without a flash. Used with one of Canon's EF or EF-S lenses with Optical Image Stabilizer, the EOS 80D can record beautiful images even when light sources are scarce.
A fine-tuned RGB+IR metering sensor helps ensure accurate exposure and uses Color Tracking to detect skin color and help provide precise AF. This is particularly useful when establishing focus for portraits in situations where other AF systems may falter. When a skin tone is detected, AI Servo AF starts off on skin-colored points, then tracks the subject based of the original AF point’s color information, maintaining focus on the person even when they’re in motion.
Capable of shooting up to 7.0 fps during continuous shooting, the EOS 80D is an amazing camera for quick action. Canon's remarkable shutter, combined with speedy, sophisticated electronics, helps ensure virtually instant response and performance. A rapidly occurring scene can be captured moment by moment, second by second, so that even brief opportunities are captured in crisp clarity.
HDR modes offer a great range of highlight and shadow detail for naturally rendered images, especially in contrasting lighting. Time-Lapse Movie feature takes still photos at set intervals and joins them to create a silent movie. Seven Creative Filters for Live View shooting can dramatically alter the impact of any particular scene. Five Creative Filters for movie shooting are also available. Each effect can be applied in three varying levels and easily previewed, or applied to the image after shooting.
The EOS 80D camera features a flicker detection system that not only alerts the user in the viewfinder, but with the camera's Anti-flicker Shooting function can compensate for flickering light sources, taking shots only at peak light volume. This feature is useful for minimizing disparities in color and exposure, especially during continuous shooting in sub-optimal lighting situations.
The EOS 80D camera features a powerful mechanical shutter system with electronically controlled speeds from 1/8000 to 30 sec. at up to 7 fps. An improved mirror drive enables high-speed, low-vibration performance, and even has a silent mode for up to 3 fps, continuous and quiet use. The shutter is rated to 100,000 exposures for predictable, reliable performance.
What you may not like about it:
Some times it will not give you a nice footage in low-light conditions. So if you are a nightlife vlogger i would like to recommend you to look for some other alternative.
Image quality deteriorates rapidly after ISO 2500. This is where Nikon D5500 performs much better.
What you will love about it:
The Canon EOS 77D 24.2MP Digital SLR Camera has up to 45-point All-cross-type AF system provides AF coverage over an expanded area during viewfinder shooting.
The precision tracking of moving subjects is also enhanced with AI Servo AF II. Of the 45 points, 27 are f/8 compatible, resulting in excellent performance when photographing birds, wildlife and other scenes involving super telephoto photography with an extender.
For Live View shooting, Dual Pixel CMOS AF enables extremely fast and seamless AF, working with all AF-compatible EF lenses and achieving focus in low light scenes as dark as EV-2.
The touchscreen operability adds to ease-of-use, taking you one step closer to creating finely-focused photos and movies like a pro .
The EOS 77D comes with 2 electronic dials for instant access to the most-used camera functions such as shutter speed and aperture. Shoot settings are quickly and easily confirmed by glancing at the backlit LCD panel on the top right panel of the camera.
There is also an AF-ON button on the rear for easy access to more advanced but useful functions such as focus lock and spot metering. Intermediate and advanced users will find such a body design in line with their needs and preferences.
It's support for Full HD 50p / 60p recording enables you to shoot smooth, beautiful videos, with seamless auto focusing that you can operate with the LCD touch panel thanks to Dual Pixel CMOS AF.
The vari-angle LCD monitor makes it easy to achieve unique angles for amazing footage that would stun even professional videographers. Movie digital IS, which carries out 5-axis image stabilization, increases possibilities in handheld movie-shooting which is especially prone to camera shake.
There are 2 levels of stabilization available which you can set to suit the shooting scene. As Movie digital IS uses in-body image stabilization, it works even on non-IS lenses.
Additionally, the availability of functions such as 5 Creative filters for movies, HDR movie and Time-lapse movie all promise to make movie shooting fun and exciting.
What you may not like about it:
It is a beginner vlogging camera. You will really enjoy it if you are new to vlogging but if you are a professional you may go for something much better than this.
You need to get a wide angle lens along with this since it comes with the kit lens only which is not enough for vlogging as you need to show all things behind you.
You need to carry a separate bag for the camera since you will not like to hold something so heavy all the time as it will hurt your hand.
6. Canon EOS 3000D 18MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) with 18-55mm is II Lens, 16GB Card and Carry Case
What you will love about it:

The body is quite compact, enabling users to carry the camera along for the casual shoot. It is designed keeping the beginners perspective in the mind, combining the classical Canon design with ease-of-use. The plastic body is solid enough to withstand short drops and offers good grip as well.
The camera has minimum buttons to make it easy for using. It has a smart dialer which has several shooting modes, plus works as the power button. Another dial lets you control exposure with a 2.7-inch LCD display placed at the back.
The main body comes with standard EF S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II kit lens. The lens comes with built-in image stabilization. This might sound like a very basic lens, but for beginners, it can actually work really well if used the right way. It offers 3x zoom and the zoom and aperture rings are smooth and responsive.
It offers basic functions suitable for beginners. It also comes with Wi-Fi making it easy to transfer images to your smartphone to share with your friends and family on Facebook and Instagram.
It comes with an 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor which is 25 times larger than the sensor used in smartphone and has Canon’s DIGIC4+ image processor. It supports light sensitivity between 100-6400 ISO (128000 extended). EOS 3000D has features like 9 auto-focus points, a 3fps burst motor and can shoot videos in 1080p at 30fps and 720p and 60fps.
The camera captures sharp images ,in broad daylight,. It clicks noise-free quality images at ISO 100 to 800, though a little noise can appear at ISO 1600. The 18 MP APS-C sensor captures quite soft, sharp and quality images. At the default sharpening setting, it produces quite soft images, though in-camera sharpening level can be changed according to the tastes via the Picture Style options.
It has nine phase detect AF points, in which one is a cross-type sensor for more accurate focusing. The autofocus performed well in our lab tests in bright light and even in challenging subjects. The Auto Lighting Optimizer comes with four different setting Off, Low, Standard, and Strong. It enhances the processing to even out the contrast and correct brightness. Only, it struggles in lowlight conditions, where we noticed noise in the shots.
The camera offers video recording at 1080p on 30fps, but then that again is not ground-breaking. It’s suitable for some clips of your vacation or for basic YouTube videos.
The camera has LP-E10 860mAh battery that provides the battery backup of about 450-500 shots.
What you may not like about it:
The low-light performance of the camera is quite average.
The video recording is quite okay and you cannot expect the high resolution 4K video footage to appear as it does in those premium cameras.
7. Canon EOS 800D 24.2MP Digital SLR Camera + EF-S 18-55 mm is STM Lens + 16GB Memory Card + Carrycase
What you will love about it:
The Canon EOS 800D is built around a 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor which you will also find in Canon’s more advanced EOS 80D. The new sensor and processor pairing also allows the 800D to offer a higher maximum native sensitivity setting of ISO 25,600, along with the equivalent of ISO 51,200 in expanded mode.
It is equipped with a Canon’s Digic 7 processor which is able to process data 14x faster than its predecessor, which not only enables the 800D to provide a higher maximum burst speed of 6fps (compared to 5fps on the 750D/760D), but also to fire off a higher number of consecutive images when burst shooting.
It comes with Dual Pixel AF technology which greatly speeds up focus acquisition times when the camera is being operated in Live View (in real-time on the camera’s LCD screen, rather than through the viewfinder). The way it works is that each pixel on the sensor’s surface is split into two individual photodiodes – one left and one right. Each of these can be read separately, thereby allowing them to be used for phase-detection AF purposes.
The 800D’s viewfinder-based phase-detection AF system has 45 individual AF points across the viewfinder, all of which are of the cross-type variety.
The camera has a lot of exposure modes. It is well served by a generous range of options including the standard PASM quartet for more experienced users, alongside Scene Intelligent Auto mode and 10 individual Scene modes (some of which can be selected directly from the Exposure mode dial) for point-and-shoot duties.
If you want to get creative with the camera you cancan take advantage of ten built-in digital filters (including old favorites such as Toy Camera, Miniature effect and a trio of HDR options), or choose one of nine Creative Auto settings, each of which is designed to capture images with a unique ambiance.
It also provides a range of in-camera lens-correction tools for minimising unsightly effects such as purple fringing and distortion, alongside the company’s longstanding Auto Lighting Optimizer tool to auto-correct image brightness and contrast.
What you may not like about it:
The price is quite high compared to the features it provides.
The body is built of plastic only.
You can only record full HD video.
Optical viewfinder only covers 95%.

With a winning combination of cutting-edge operations and a robust, ergonomic design, it is optimized to make even the most challenging photography simple and easy.
The cameras has been constructed of the highest quality materials, and to exacting standards that ensure unfettered performance at all times. For example, the shutter can shoot at speeds up to 1/8000 sec. for up to 200,000 cycles, the chassis is built of lightweight and rigid magnesium, and the camera's seals are built to resist water and dust. This combination makes the EOS 7D Mark II ready for almost anything.
The EOS 7D Mark II has a newly designed 20.2 Megapixel sensor that delivers high-resolution image files with stunning detail and impressive clarity. Optimized for low-light shooting, the EOS 7D Mark II's sensor captures images at up to ISO 16000 (expandable to H1: 25600, H2: 51200) with remarkably low noise, thanks to its improved, higher sensitivity design. Phenomenal for stills, the EOS 7D Mark II's sensor is equally up to the task for movies, delivering Full HD capture even at rates of up to 60p.
It has a 3.0-inch Clear View II LCD monitor for shooting videos and stills. Displaying fine detail (at approximately 1.04 million dots), this screen is perfect for composing and reviewing images. Thanks to a solid construction between the monitor's resin-coated cover and the liquid crystal display, reflections are minimized, and the display can be viewed with reduced glare. The LCD's surface is treated with a smudge-resistant coating to minimize fingerprints and maintain a bright, clear image display.
It's sensor works seamlessly with its Dual DIGIC 6 Image Processors for advanced image processing across the board. These image processors help the EOS 7D Mark II capture up to 1090 JPEG, 31 RAW, and 19 RAW + JPEG shots in a single burst for amazing action photography. Further, they enable the camera's powerful image processing on-the-fly: lens aberration, variances in peripheral illumination and image distortion can all be corrected in real time thanks to the EOS 7D Mark II's Dual DIGIC 6 Image Processors.
With a new, rugged shutter designed for 200,000 cycles, the EOS 7D Mark II can shoot up to 10 frames per second to capture all the action. With super quick AF and exposure systems complementing the shutter's 55 msec shutter release time lag, the EOS 7D Mark II is tailored to meet and even exceed the speed of the action. Refined mechanics like a newly designed, more efficient shutter-drive motor and a vibration dampened mirror drive mean impressive performance for high caliber image quality, fast.
The camera employs an advanced mirror vibration control technology that enables the camera to support its speedy, continuous shooting capabilities while ensuring great image quality. The system uses a motor to help reduce the vibrations caused by high-speed shooting. By reducing the vibrations, the camera can achieve accurate and precise autofocus to provide steady and clear action shots at up to 10.0 frames per second.
It features 65 all cross-type AF points* for high precision AF at remarkable speed. Cross-type AF points ensure stable AF that is not influenced by the subject's shape or color. On the EOS 7D Mark II, the AF points are spread over a wide area of the frame, enabling faster AF, wherever the subject lies. With a central dual cross-type AF point of f/2.8, AF is enhanced with lenses faster than f/2.8. And thanks to this new system, AF is possible even in dim lighting as low as EV-3.
The camera comes with a revolutionary Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a milestone in AF speed and accuracy that unlocks the potential of Live View shooting. This advanced technology has truly changed what is possible with a DSLR camera. Dual Pixel CMOS AF involves a sophisticated rethinking of the CMOS sensor. Traditionally, image sensors have one photodiode per pixel for recording, but the CMOS sensor on the EOS 7D Mark II has two photodiodes per pixel, 40 million in total, enabling each pixel on the sensor to both perform phase-difference detection autofocus and capture light. With phase-difference detection AF, autofocus is achieved quickly and easily on the camera. This unique AF system enables autofocus on approximately 80% of the image plane, vertically and horizontally, and helps ensure virtually no loss in image quality.
The benefits of Dual Pixel CMOS AF are clearly evident in Live View and video shooting, where the EOS 7D Mark II achieves natural, precise focus very quickly, even when switching between subjects. And, combined with the predictive power of Movie Servo AF, subjects in motion are smoothly and consistently tracked – once focus is locked, the EOS 7D Mark II holds on! Plus, with the shallow depth-of-field afforded by EOS optics, video gains a brilliant, cinematic ambience lacking when shooting video with many other Digital SLRs.
It is also an incredibly capable HD movie camera. Taking advantage of its Dual Pixel CMOS AF capabilities, the EOS 7D Mark II has customizable Movie Servo AF options: not only can AF location be defined, AF speed and tracking intervals can be specified too, for fluid, smooth focus transitions. The EOS 7D Mark II delivers refined and detailed image quality with Full HD 60P recording at ISO values up to 16000, has an HDMI output and records to both SD and CF cards for versatility and security during important shoots.
The Intelligent Viewfinder II makes it easy to both shoot, change and confirm camera settings and shooting modes all without looking away from the viewfinder. Displaying approximately 100% of the composition, the viewfinder can show settings like shooting mode, exposure level, white balance, drive mode, AF operation, metering mode, recording format, even an electronic level and more. All of this information can be displayed by or superimposed easily over the image for review while shooting, and multiple views are customizable through the EOS 7D Mark II's simple user interface.
It offers time-lapse fixed-point shooting and long exposures without the need for a remote control. The EOS 7D Mark II's interval timer takes from 1 to 99 shots at preselected intervals, ideal for shooting flowers as they bloom or clouds drifting through the sky. Its built-in bulb timer keeps the shutter open for a designated amount of time, perfect for night photography, or to capture the flow of traffic on a street corner.
The camera comes with an amazing iSA Intelligent Subject Analysis system that employs an independent RGB light sensor with approximately 150,000-pixel resolution. This sensor enables Canon's intelligent Tracking and Recognition system (iTR AF) that detects and tracks subjects, automatically switching the AF point to optimize tracking. With new tracking algorithms tailored to recognize faces and colors, this system serves as a brilliant foundation to the EOS 7D Mark II's AF system.
The camera features a new flicker detection system that not only alerts the user in the viewfinder, but with the camera's Anti-Flicker Shooting function can compensate for flickering light sources, taking shots only at peak light volume. This feature is useful for minimizing disparities in color and exposure, especially during continuous shooting in sub-optimal lighting situations.
Also help photographers with achieving high quality images, the EOS 7D Mark II corrects image distortions like peripheral illumination, chromatic aberration and distortion, in-camera, as the image is recorded. When shooting in Live View mode, the results of distortion can even be monitored in real time through the EOS 7D Mark II's Image Simulation Function. It also features a USB 3.0 digital terminal for fast transfer to PCs and printers, plus offers connectivity to Canon's WFT-E7 (Version 2) for wireless transfer and Wi-Fi compatibility.
