Canon T6i (750D) - Field Test and Review

After releasing my review on the Nikon D3400, I received a handful of questions regarding the Canon T6i (aka 750D). Canon released the T6i over a year ago, but they continue to sell, market, and support the model which is a good sign. Time to take a closer look and provide my thoughts for those in need:). Please post any questions you may have below, and I will do my best to help.

Update:

Thank you so much. I had no regrets buying this camera. Your video helped a lot while I was testing out the features. I also took photos of my classmates and they loved it. God bless you! You deserve more subscribers 😊🙌

Great to watch this older review in 2023, I've always loved Canon dslrs, but I bought the T5i (700d in the uk). My 700D has been and still is an amazing camera. Thanks.

gotta be one of the best reviews on cannont6i  that really show video quality

[MIKEOTHMAN]

Just wanted to say I don't usually watch videos this long but you did a great job and I watched it till the end, I wish you could maybe do a video on the best settings for beginners and show how to blur pictures Ik it's aperture mode but it's complicated at times and if possible how did you get the lights on those passing cars to show streaks? Amazing it would be very helpful to me and alot of youtubers ty sir I subbed your channel friend 😀

Tons of great information!!! Wish I would've seen this video before I bought this camera. But I'm mainly using it for video and it was a huge jump up from my smart phone so I'm still happy. Definitely wish it was 1080p 60fps

I've had this camera for the last 5 years. It was my first DSLR, so I can't compare it to Nikon or any other brand, nor am I interested in doing so. I have bought various Canon EFS/EF lenses for it and have been delighted with both the quality of the lenses and the options they have given me. I have to say that I've had an incredible time with the T6i and would recommend it to anyone interested in dipping their toe into the wonderful world of photography. I'll be moving on soon (probably to the Canon 90D, if I can get the cash together) for three reasons: battery life, frames per second and build. At the end of the day, I can honestly say that owning the T6i has changed my life. I don't work for Canon, by the way :-).

By far the best review video for this camera. I am getting this camera now. The video is very informal

[adagomes]

The Nikon D5500 has more focal points (39), BUT the Nikon has just 9 cross-type sensors and the Canon T6i has all 19 focal points as cross-type sensors, and that makes difference if focal points are important for you.

Such a great review. Thank you for taking the time to produce it.

Excellent review. Bought this camera today and your video made me feel a lot more comfortable with it. Going to primarily use to vlog and take pics of my new grand baby

[mikeclark]

This is the camera I have pretty much decided on, thanks in large part to your videos.

Thank you for a good honest look.

You have some great music in your videos, by the way!

Great review. I'll be using my first unit to shoot independent music vids as well as fitness vids mostly, but also some still shots. Let's say at a ratio of 70% vid 30 %photo, which would you recommend?

This video helped me out so so much! I am looking for a great entry level DSLR and this video might have made me choose which one I want! The cons were ok but I could live with it. The photos were just amazing. I love photography and I love to make videos! Keep up the good work! :)

I'm sticking with nikon. I did eleventy billion hours of research before I bought my camera and chose the one I did because it seemed to me that I could do anything with it. I very often ask people in the know if they think I'm into it over my head financially. My plan was to buy lenses and equipment that would transfer over if I wanted to go to a better body. But hey, who am I kidding. How much can I shoot from a wheelchair. I'm an amateur and the best I can hope for is to be a good one. I can do tons of stuff with guys like you around actually. One being macro. I'm rigged up for that fairly well. So thanks for the honest test. My daughter is a photographer, weddings an outdoor and is a cannon girl so we now have a new subject to argue about. How bout another test on that D3400? What a great camera to learn on. The other is shooting in raw. I'm still not with it on that one. This stuff goes whizzing by and I write down a lot of subjects to study but as y'all can clearly see P.T.S.D. AND A.D.D. HAS ITS WAY WITH ME. wave something shiny in front of me and you have me.

[heykirztein]

Thank you for this! I loved your shots and how you reviewed it. I am planning to get this as I begin my photography/filmmaking journey and this helped a lot! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[mchorwood]

I love this video it's really helped me to see the capabilities of the camera please ensure you make more videos like this they're immeasurably useful!

[Kevin_Javier]
