![]() ![]() You have the same limited maximum aperture, plus a good focal length, image stabilization, and compact size. Here, you’ll get the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, which is almost identical to 18-55mm IS II. Unfortunately, the aperture (which changes from 18mm to 55mm) isn’t going to offer much in the way of low-light shooting, and bokeh is going to be so-so.īut how does the Canon T6i’s kit lens compare? And the focal length is good for all-around shooters at 18mm, you can capture some nice landscapes, then zoom in to 55mm for portraits and tighter street shots. On the T6, you get the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II, which is relatively compact, offers reasonable sharpness, and packs some always-useful image stabilization. The kit lenses on the EOS Rebel T6i and the EOS Rebel T6 are decent enough, though I always recommend photographers upgrade to a better performing lens (often a prime) as soon as possible. In other words, neither optical viewfinder is ideal. It’s not a huge deal, but not being able to see the corners of the composition is a huge pet-peeve of mine (and it can lead to slightly inferior compositions that require more work in post-processing). This last point is a fairly minor one, but you’re going to see a bit more clarity and crispness on the T6i’s 3” LCD compared to the T6’s.Ĭanon packs its consumer-oriented DSLRs with 95% viewfinder coverage pretty consistently, a problem that the T6 and the T6i both suffer from. This is essential for vloggers, who frequently flip the screen out to check focus and exposure while shooting, and it’s also useful for still shooters that often photograph at weird angles (e.g., architectural photographers, macro photographers).įinally, the T6i’s LCD higher resolution is a step above the T6’s: 1040K dots vs 920K dots. You also have a fully articulating screen on the T6i. A Touch lcd screen is pretty much the norm these days, and they’re perfect for selecting focus points when shooing in Live View, changing settings, and more. Here’s the biggest reason to shell out the extra cash and go for the Canon T6i:īecause while the T6 and T6i’s LCDs may look the same on the outside – they’re both 3” – the T6i packs a lot of useful features.įirst, you have touch screen capabilities, which are great for all kinds of scenarios. While I cover this more thoroughly in the next section, just note that the articulating capabilities make the T6i the clear choice for vloggers. Where the Canon T6i begins to pull ahead is in terms of its rear LCD, thanks to its fully-articulating touch screen. They’ve even added in NFC and Wi-Fi connectivity options, which allows you to quickly share images to your devices – a welcome feature for anyone that uploads daily photos to Instagram or Facebook.īoth cameras include a single SD card slot, which will be fine for hobbyists but will be limiting for some professionals. In my experience, Canon offers one of the best shooting experiences on the market, which is why you don’t need to be afraid of either of these DSLRs (even if you’ve never gone beyond your smartphone before). You do get Canon’s great ergonomics and handling capabilities on both models, from the easy-to-understand menu system to the carefully moulded front grip to the well-placed shutter button.Īnd while the T6i and T6 include the standard exposure modes (i.e., Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Manual, Program, Full Auto), Canon also caters to beginners by packing in a number of subject-based modes, from Portrait to Landscape and more. While both the Canon EOS T6i and the Canon EOS T6 will keep size and weight to a reasonable level, the T6 is the marginally better option.Īs with pretty much all of Canon’s APS-C sensor entry-level DSLRs, the T6 and the T6i offer decent build quality – but nothing to write home about.īoth DSLRs feel solid, but neither offers weather sealing, so I’d be hesitant to take either body into rainy weather (snow would be pushing it). The difference isn’t huge, but you’ll notice when holding both cameras side-by-side (or when you’re trying to shave down weight in a travel bag). Where the T6 does outperform the T6i is in terms of weight: Will the Canon T6 and T6i be compact enough for most casual shooters and beginners? You probably won’t notice this while shooting, and either of these options will do a decent job for anyone looking to carry around their camera full-time.Īre there smaller cameras out there? Of course. The T6 is the (barely) smaller of the two, coming in at 129 x 101 x 78mm, compared to 132 x 101 x 78 mm on the T6i. ![]() The Canon T6 and T6i are both relatively compact APS-C sensor DSLRs offering similar – but not identical – dimensions.
