Product Overview
Canon EOS Rebel T8i (EOS 850D) is a DSLR camera in the Canon EF-mount system. Introduced by Canon in 2020, it comes with an APS-C sensor with 24 MP (6000 x 4000) resolution.
The camera has an excellent battery life, and you may just get away without a second battery. The Canon EOS Rebel T8i's 7.5 fps burst rate limits its use for certain types of photography, but it is hardly something that most photographers should worry about.
The EOS Rebel T8i comes with a fully articulated touch display and 45 autofocus points.

Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Canon EOS 850D / Rebel T8i is a well-featured mid-range DSLR. It sits at the top of the triple-digit EOS or Rebel series. It delivers a comfortable step-up in features and handling over the cheaper entry-level models, making it a good choice for anyone who wants a decent DSLR without breaking into four figures.
Pros
- Decent 1080p video
- Dual-pixel autofocus
- Easy to use app
Cons
- 4k video isn’t great
- No viewfinder as standard

Reviewer score 87% (normalized by Neofiliac)Canon EOS Rebel T8i is available as a body-only kit (no lens included) or in a kit with Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens. Know upfront that, especially with a high-resolution imaging sensor in the camera, the image quality will be only as good as the lens in front of the camera permits.
Pros
- Lightweight and compact
- Excellent image quality
- High-resolution imaging sensor
- Good battery life
Cons
- Lacks a wide-angle zoom lens

Reviewer score 58% (normalized by Neofiliac)Canon EOS Rebel T8i is still the best Rebel yet — but just. The new controls make for one worthy improvement, but the half-hearted 4K video mode doesn't do enough to keep the camera current. This is a T7i with minor tweaks, and after three years, that's not enough. The small, relatively dark optical viewfinder doesn't deliver the real DSLR experience.
Pros
- Fantastic 4K video
- Excellent build quality
- Good battery life
Cons
- Lackluster optical viewfinder
- Not the best value for money

Reviewer score 64% (normalized by Neofiliac)Canon T8i has a 1.6x focal length crop on top of the crop imposed by its APS-C sensor size. Autofocus system can be confusing if you're frequently switching between live view and viewfinder shooting. Full HD seems more prone to moiré and false color artifacts. But it does give you pretty good still image quality and usable video capture.
Pros
- 4K video
- Good still image quality
- Compact, lightweight design
Cons
- Limited 4K video capabilities
- Limited range of lenses
- Slow autofocus

Reviewer score 72% (normalized by Neofiliac)The T8i's 24MP APS-C sensor dates back a few generations. You'll get JPG shots with crisp detail and accurate color through ISO 3200. The camera will range higher, to ISO 6400, out of the box. The EOS M6 Mark II is a stronger choice for 4K video.
Pros
- Excellent image quality
- Autofocus with face and eye detection
- Wide viewfinder
- Full autofocus
Cons
- No 4K video support

Reviewer score 31% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Canon T8i is a good option for landscape photography. Images are low in noise and graininess even at high ISO levels. Its touchscreen interface is bright enough to be seen clearly even under direct sunlight. Video quality in FHD and 4k is sub-par, but it's passable for vlogging.
Pros
- Fast, reliable autofocus system
- Wide variety of inputs and outputs
- Fully-articulated screen can be fully rotated to let you see yourself when the camera is pointed at you
- Very good image quality
Cons
- Poor video stabilization performance in FHD and 4k
- Bulky and bulky
- No high-speed frame rate options in 4k or FHD

Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Canon EOS Rebel T8i / EOS 850D is a good choice for beginners. It has Canon's famous Dual Pixel phase detection AF system. Autofocus behavior is different in the 4K video mode to Full HD video. It's the less effective contrast detection AF which is more prone to focus hunting. Image quality in low light is also very good, with the camera able to produce sharp images.
Pros
- Good image quality in low light
- Compact and compact
- Good build quality
Cons
- No telephoto viewfinder
- Crop factor
