Canon EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D Review

A sensibly specced, great esteem alternative for tenderfoots

Decision:

The Canon EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D is a strong if unacceptable passage level DSLR, shunning eye-getting highlights for strong picture quality easily. It's an awesome amateur choice, however there are better spec'd section level DSLRs accessible. 

Experts: 

Great value,Wi-Fi and NFC,Easy to use,High-determination screen 

CONS: 

Settled screen,No touchscreen,95% viewfinder,Slow centering in live view,Only 18MP determination 

In spite of their low value point 'section level' cameras are amazingly critical for producers. These are the cameras with which the customer begins their trip with a brand – and a hefty portion of those buyers will remain with that brand for quite a while. 

Along these lines, you can get a ton of camera for moderately minimal expenditure nowadays. The Canon EOS Rebel T6 (badged as the EOS 1300D outside the US) is Canon's most recent passage level recommendation, and it's accessible at an awesome cost for amateurs, understudies or anybody new to DSLR photography. Truth be told, it's less expensive than a considerable measure of normal minimal cameras. 

The Rebel T6 doesn't speak to a noteworthy update from its antecedent in any case, the EOS Rebel T5/EOS 1200D – which itself was not really an enormous upgrade of the EOS Rebel T4/EOS 1100D. It appears Canon has at the end of the day played it moderately safe with the spec sheet, which keeps the camera reasonable for those extremely vital section level clients. 

Highlights 

APS-C CMOS sensor, 18MP 

3.0-inch screen, 920,000k specks 

1080p video catch"

The sensor is the same as the EOS Rebel T5/EOS 1200D's at 18 million pixels, while the processor gets an unobtrusive move up to the DIGIC 4+ (the Rebel T5's had a standard DIGIC 4). In any case, considering that Canon's most recent processor is the DIGIC 7, the 4+ is currently looking like entirely old innovation. 

The EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D utilizations the EF-S focal point mount, which is perfect with the greater part of Canon's EF scope of focal points, so there's an abundance of decision out there to suit all financial plans. 

A few of alternate elements of the Canon EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D are the same as in the Rebel T5. It has the same humble 9-point self-adjusting framework, with one focal cross-sort (more delicate) point. There's likewise a 95% scope optical viewfinder - while it doesn't seem like you're missing much, you can discover undesirable components crawling into the edge of the shot when assessing pictures. 

Local affectability stays at ISO100-6,400, expandable up to 12,800, however given the somewhat better processor a humble change in low-light execution is guaranteed. All things considered, the ISO extend now looks very restricted contrasted with much more current adversaries.

One element that has seen an update is the screen. The EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D's LCD show is a 3-inch, 920k-dab unit, though the T5 gloated just 460k dabs. This overhaul ought to make seeing pictures, and utilizing the menus, a more lovely ordeal. 

The feature new element for the EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D however is the consideration of inbuilt Wi-Fi and NFC network. This empowers you to control the camera from an associated gadget, for example, a cell phone or tablet, and you can send pictures from the camera to your gadgets to share rapidly on the web. 

And additionally the completely programmed and scene shooting modes you'd expect in a camera gone for amateur picture takers, there are likewise manual and self-loader opening need and shade need modes, in addition to the capacity to shoot in crude configuration. 

Likewise with the T5, the Rebel T6 offers Full HD (1920 x 1080) video recording, and you can take manual control of video, with 30, 25 and 24fps edge rates accessible; as anyone might expect at a camera at the cost point, there's no 4K shooting.

Ordinance EOS 1300D audit 

Battery life stays at a respectable 500 shots, which ought to see you through a common day's shooting without the requirement for a revive. 

An undeniable contender to the EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D is Nikon's 24MP D3300 . That camera offers higher determination and better battery life (700 shots) and its most extreme burst rate of 5fps beats the T6's 3fps. 

Nonetheless, the Nikon is that bit more costly and doesn't have worked in Wi-Fi or NFC, so which camera you incline toward will rely on upon which specs are most critical to you. 

Considering that the T5 wasn't precisely progressive, we'd been seeking after maybe somewhat more from Canon specs-wise with the Rebel T6. As it seems to be, the camera keeps a large number of its antecedent's attempted and tried components, yet offers nothing especially new or energizing – despite the fact that this means Canon can offer the EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D at a value that ought to be appealing to the imminent buyers it needs to snare. 

Assemble and taking care of 

Polycarbonate development 

Outline minimal changed from EOS Rebel T5/EOS 1200D 

Weighs 485g

The general outline of the EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D is essentially the same as the active T5. There's a finished covering on the stout front hold and the back thumb rest, which makes an impression of value higher than that of a run of the mill section level camera, making it feel more like a mid-go Canon, for example, the Rebel T6i/EOS 750D . 

The grasp itself is pleasantly molded to fit your center finger when your pointer lays on the screen discharge; those with bigger hands may discover it somewhat less agreeable to hold, however. 

The back catch design is straightforward and get to holds with if this is your first camera, and will be natural to any individual who's utilized a Canon DSLR some time recently, making it similarly simple to use as a moment camera. 

A "Q" or Quick menu catch empowers you to rapidly get to and modify ordinarily utilized settings. While there are additionally devoted catches for basic settings, for example, white adjust, self-adjust mode, ISO (affectability) and presentation remuneration, on account of alternatives, for example, Image Quality and Picture Style the Quick menu will spare you delving around in the menus.

 Standard EOS 1300D audit 

A looking over dial on top of the camera, simply behind the screen catch, is in a perfect world put for rolling out fast improvements to gap or shade speed, contingent upon the shooting mode you're in. In case you're in manual mode you can utilize the dial to change both - you'll have to hold down the presentation remuneration catch in the meantime to change the gap. 

There's no touchscreen on the EOS Rebel T6, which implies that all acclimations to settings should be made through the physical controls, despite the fact that there are sufficient direct get to catches for this not to be an errand. 

There's a catch just to one side of the thumb rest for setting the self-adjust point. There are recently the nine focuses to look over, all of which are gathered decently midway, so you'll regularly need to center and recompose for subjects that are towards the edge of the edge. 

The principle dial on the highest point of the camera empowers you to switch between shooting modes, including video mode - there's no devoted video catch, and choosing video by means of the dial makes grabbing film on the foot somewhat harder than it would be with a different catch.

 Canon EOS 1300D survey 

Alongside the viewfinder is the live view catch - squeezing this empowers you to form shots on the LCD. Self-adjust velocities are perceptibly slower when utilizing live view, yet it's helpful for shooting still life and full scale subjects, where the accentuation is on exact centering as opposed to speed - you can amplify the view by 5x or 10x for most extreme exactness. 

There's likewise a committed catch for choosing the drive mode. Unfortunately the move up to the DIGIC 4+ processor hasn't seen a knock in the most extreme edge rate - it's still only 3fp, in spite of the fact that this isn't a camera composed with rapid activity or games shooting at the top of the priority list. The support limit has been expanded however, and the 1300D can shoot 1100 JPEGs, or an a great deal more unassuming six crude documents, before backing off. 

Group has stayed with a similar viewfinder it utilized on the T5. Albeit many will contend that optical viewfinders are desirable over electronic viewfinders, one like this, which offers just a 95 percent field of view, abandons you to inclined to undesirable items crawling into the edges of the casing - something that wouldn't occur with a 100 percent-scope electronic viewfinder.

 Canon EOS 1300D survey 

The way that it's optical as opposed to electronic likewise implies you can't see the impacts of settings changes in the viewfinder as you make them - something which would be especially helpful for those simply beginning to get to holds with how a DSLR functions. 

As far as in-camera channel impacts, there isn't an enormous determination to browse, which might be a bit of disillusioning to sharp Instagrammers who are new to DSLRs. You can, in any case, select from a scope of Picture Styles, which incorporate the typical choices, for example, Landscape and Portrait, and a pleasant Monochrome impact. 

For whatever length of time that you're shooting in crude configuration, when you apply a Picture Style you'll have a spotless variant of the picture to work with later on the off chance that you require it, nearby the prepared one. You can likewise apply channels after you've made a go, through the playback menu; the camera will spare another JPEG close by your unique. 

While Wi-Fi and NFC availability aren't abnormal in today's cameras, their appearance in the Rebel T6 is likely the most critical overhaul over the T5.

Self-adjust 

9-point AF, 1 cross-sort AF point 

AF-help illuminator 

Conceivable to track moving subjects 

Self-adjust velocities are for the most part entirely fast in great light, backing off a little in darker conditions. The EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D was surveyed with Canon's EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS focal point and we experienced no issues with the AF, albeit different focal points may perform in an unexpected way. 

Changing to the AI Servo AF mode empowers you to track moving subjects. The Rebel T6 could stay aware of generally moderate moving subjects, for example, a man strolling over a scene, generally effectively, yet battled a little with quicker subjects. 

So, this cameras doesn't claim to be a camera for games and activity aficionados - you'll need to look advance into the Canon run for that, however for general shooting, it'll take care of business. 

Execution 

3fps burst shooting 

iFCL metering framework 

500 shot battery life 

Like the T5, the Rebel T6/EOS 1300D utilizations Canon's iFCL metering framework. All in all this makes a decent showing with regards to of creating precise exposures, despite the fact that, as need is given to the dynamic AF point, if whatever you're concentrating on is especially splendid or dim this can skew the general presentation perusing; on a few events I discovered I expected to dial in a little introduction pay to get the coveted outcomes.

Canon EOS 1300D review

The Rebel T6's auto white adjust framework adapts well to an assortment of lighting conditions. Under simulated lights, tones look a touch hotter than is exact; the outcomes aren't upsetting, however for greatest precision it can be valuable to change to a more suitable setting, for example, Fluorescent. 

In cloudy conditions, the programmed choice functions admirably - the Cloudy setting produces pictures that are excessively warm for my enjoying. 

It appears that the progression up to the DIGIC 4+ processor has supported operation speeds a touch contrasted with the T5. This implies pictures are hardly snappier to show up in playback mode, despite the fact that there can even now be a discernible slack in the event that you take a few photographs one after another. 

At 500 shots, the cited battery life is somewhat less than that of the opponent Nikon D3300 , however it's more than most minimal framework cameras can offer. Our testing demonstrates that 500 shots is about precise, and I could shoot for a few hours without quite a bit of a plunge in the showed battery life. 

Picture quality 

ISO100-6,400, expandable to 100-12,800 

Worked in low-pass channel 

7 Picture Styles 

The Rebel T6/EOS 1300D utilizations an indistinguishable sensor from the T5, however with the somewhat preferred DIGIC 4+ processor rather over the DIGIC 4. So it's nothing unexpected that our testing demonstrates that the Rebel T6 performs also to the T5. 

Picture quality is great, and keeping in mind that the individuals who are new to DSLR shooting ought to be awed by what the Rebel T6/EOS 1300D is able to do. 

JPEG pictures show a decent level of warmth and immersion coordinate from the camera, with regards to what we've turned out to be accustomed to seeing from cameras over Canon's range, while Picture Styles are a decent approach to change the tones relying upon the subject - you may discover, for instance, that representations will profit by the more quieted tones of that preset. 

Crude pictures are somewhat more repressed than JPEGs, with somewhat less differentiation, giving you a lot of extension to process documents as indicated by your own tastes - you can utilize either Canon's Digital Photo Professional programming, which is packaged with the Rebel T6, or an outsider application, for example, Adobe Camera Raw or Lightroom. 

Ordinance's 18 million pixel sensor has turned out to be a fit entertainer with regards to detail determination, in the T5 and somewhere else, and the general impression of detail in JPEG pictures is great from ISO100 through to ISO3,200, with quality just falling endlessly a little when you get to ISO6,400 (see picture beneath). 

The extension setting of ISO12,800 is best dodged unless totally vital, as pictures go up against a painterly appearance, with detail smoothing obvious even at ordinary printing sizes. 

When handling crude pictures, it's conceivable to bring back a portion of the detail that has been lost to the detriment of presenting a little commotion. In case you're shooting a high-detail subject however, you may incline toward the commotion to the loss of detail, so it's great to have the decision.

Commotion isn't especially evident in JPEGs shot at ISO1,600, however in the event that you contrast a JPEG and the relating crude document it's unmistakable how much clamor lessening the camera is applying; and keeping in mind that the outcomes are generally normal and satisfying, in case you're shooting an especially point by point subject the preparing might be a little over the top for your loving. 

Detail determination is great, if not exactly comparable to from the Nikon D3300 when pictures are analyzed intently; however this might be an issue in case you're printing at vast sizes, or on the off chance that you consistently photo exceptionally nitty gritty subjects, neither of which is probably going to be a need for generally amateurs. 

Decision 

Picture quality from the EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D is great, in spite of the fact that as it's generally keeping pace with the now three-year-old T5 it's nothing especially progressive, while contrasted with 24MP adversaries, it lingers behind. Be that as it may, in case you're venturing up from a smaller camera or cell phone photography you'll be exceptionally satisfied with what this camera can do. 

The expansion of Wi-Fi is welcome, yet in the event that you're searching for something that is in any capacity progressive you'll be baffled. 

The viewfinder is brilliant and clear, yet having just a 95 percent field of view can prompt issues when making pictures; this impediment isn't abnormal for section level DSLRs, yet it's something you have to consider when you make a go. 

Like the T5/1200D preceding it, the most concerning issue with the Canon EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D is that it's a tiny bit disappointing. Keeping in mind the end goal to keep on offering an awesome esteem item Canon hasn't included much in the way new innovation to this camera, rather depending on an old sensor and an old processor. 

It would have been decent to have seen a touchscreen presented for the EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D, particularly given that large portions of the planned clients will be utilized to cell phones and tablets, and are probably going to miss the capacity to touch a screen to change settings, set the concentrate point et cetera. 

The Canon EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D is an incredible camera for apprentices, offering great picture quality in a sensibly valued and simple to-utilize bundle. It's a strong alternative for those searching for their first DSLR yet who would prefer not to lay out excessively cash, and it will acquaint you with both Canon's EOS biological community and to DSLR photography as a rule, with the several focal points and extras these offer. 

Rivalry

Nikon D3300 

Maybe the greatest adversary to the Rebel T6/EOS 1300D is Nikon's D3300. Our most loved passage level DSLR in spite of the landing of the D3400 , it ticks basically every crate for the new client. Simple to utilize, great picture quality, conventional execution and now at an extraordinary cost.

Standard Rebel T7i/EOS 800D 

Somewhat further up the Canon DSLR range is Canon's most recent passage level DSLR, the EOS Rebel T7i/EOS 800D. Pressing in another 24.2MP sensor, it conveys staggering picture quality with astonishingly low clamor levels at high ISO sensitivities. There's likewise highly enhanced self-adjust and presentation metering frameworks over the Rebel T6, while there's more far reaching controls and a vari-edge touchscreen.

Sony Alpha A5000 

A marginally extraordinary contrasting option to the next two is Sony's 20.1MP Alpha A5000 mirrorless camera. Offering extraordinary taking care of and phenomenal picture quality, it's a great deal more minimal than the EOS Rebel T6/EOS 1300D. That means there's no viewfinder, rather depending on the back show for arrangement.
