hey everyone Jimmy would Jim's review room the rebel series has been one the most popular dslr's for beginners and amateurs out there many of those just getting into photography in film school and even starting out with YouTube goes towards this lineup because they're easy to use very much functional for the beginners out there and it's a great way to get started with Canon lenses and bodies today we're looking at the brand new t7 eye or the 800 D in other parts of the world and this was released in 2017 and should have a lifespan of around two years before the t8 eye is released this one is priced at seven hundred and fifty dollars and just for the body only on B&H photo calm and $850 if you decide to buy the kit which includes the 18 to 55 millimeter lens I'll leave my affiliate links in the video description below click on those links and they will give you the most updated prices in real time you never know when these things might go on sale so without further ado I channels here to help you make that purchase decision welcome everyone to jim's review room before getting started all my videos are for the average consumer I'm taking a look at this camera as someone that's new getting into photography and or using it for video for YouTube etc and seeing how it fares so first I'm going over the physical features the p7 is super lightweight here it's aerodynamic and seven generations in everything is solid and built well for beginners camera is going to feel like a beginner's camera with a reinforced super smooth plastic but they used here it's understandable for this price range that it doesn't feel as premium or it doesn't feel as diesel or well-built with an aluminum frame and such but one area that I would critique is where my palm rest when holding the t7 I by my side there were times when the camera feels ever so slightly slippery nothing detrimental and nothing to prevent you from buying but something I want to point out additional textured grip on this area would have helped a lot now looking up top you have your typical buttons laid out on your screen please feel free to pause the video if you need to but to turn on and off the camera or to go into video recording its toggled by this switch here at the very top you have a hot shoe to mount your microphone or lights and moving to the left side here are your inputs now there's no cables provided in the box so make sure you buy USB cord yourself or have a SD card reader on hand a mini USB and mini HDMI port are available to connect the camera here to your PC or a TV monitor respectively and to the left under the smaller flap there's a port to connect a remote control and last is an audio input for your microphone there's no headphone or earphones out port to bond it to your audio and that's pretty typical in this price range for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras now while we're still on the left side here there's NFC pairing which I love on every camera here perfect for those heavy into social media take a photo tap your NFC enabled phone on the side of the t-seven eye and have the file transfer to your phone instantly from here just edit and post now getting back to the camera rotating to the right side down just a cover for your SD card and then on the bottom of the camera its threaded so you can use a tripod to the right is the battery cover flap looking at the rear it's very much straightforward you'll see all these buttons on most cameras the unique buttons would be the Wi-Fi button which when press allows you to send your added to your phone laptop to your printer even or up to the web depending on your wireless setup the other unique button here is the cue button for quick access to certain menus and features on the camera now looking at that touchscreen display it's 3 inches in sides with the ability to swivel out flip to a selfie or fogging orientation and can be converted flush against the back for viewing now the screen is bright and I'm impressed by how visible it is outdoors and in direct sunlight my 2500 plus sony a7s to that screen doesn't even perform as well now the touch interface is sensitive enough and thankfully the screen doesn't feel plasticky and flexes during my presses it's solid and responsive now looking into its menus and interface it's quite simple here it can be overwhelming for some coming from their smartphone let's say and purchasing any DSLR for the first time but with the t7 eye it includes these little pop-ups that gives you a briefing of what each setting means and what it does it's not a full explanation I'll omit that but something right then and there without the need to flip through the manual overall very much intuitive the menus flow smoothly it regards to camera performance the t7 I make some decent improvements across the board most noticeably there's 45 cross-type autofocus points versus 19 during my time testing the t6 i from a year or two ago now with 45 points the auto focusing system covers more of the sensor covers more of the image so when you're pointing and shooting the camera locked on very fast and you have more precision on what you want the camera to focus on for those getting into video the t6i and 7i gives you smooth flowing autofocus as well it's one of the reasons why I would get this / Nikon and I'm personally a Nikon user myself now you also have the ability to simply tap on the screen and the Canon locks onto the object or person that you selected here and it keeps it sharp while you move about and around now with my time testing it does moderately well Khasra movements keeps it locked on all slightly more aggressive moves does call it the t7 I to lose its anchor point you can say no other quick improvements worth mentioning before I show you samples the t7 I gets up to 6 frames per second for photography versus 5 from the t6 I there's a new image processor the digit 7 and less regarding video you get 1080 resolution with high dynamic range but this time you have 24 30 and 60 frames per second of video recording but the t6i in previous models it was up to 30 frames at the 1080 resolution so getting into the photos samples here keep in mind all photos we're taking in auto mode as this video is catered to the average consumer if I did take any photos in menu mode I'm surely going to indicate for you on the screen now first up that's heading the whitewater rafting center and snapping some photos the image looks great the photos are rich in color the high dynamic range keeps the clouds intact without blowing them out and using the supplied 18 to 55 millimeter lens the wideness in this shot looks phenomenal I think now here's another photo though with a gorgeous background sun's coming down and the t7 eye captures once again some gorgeous colors now if you look at the for long chairs right in the middle the image the chairs looking vibrant now moving on to some photos during lunch with any DSLR you get some nice focus photos in the forefronts with that blurred image in the background depending on your aperture now one thing I did notice that there aren't times when photos taken in auto mode slightly blows out the image now looking at this next photo here at first glance these fries look fine well actually there's sweet potatoes put carefully looking you can see the image is a little too bright but here let me switch to a better example here's a photo in auto mode and this is what it looks like in manual mode now automotive once again on another photo and switching over to manual mode to properly compensate this is what it looks like when properly done now one more shot here just in case as you can see it's slightly blown out here and this is what it looks like when properly exposed keep in mind this doesn't happen every time most of my time testing the photos turned out great but what it does happen it is noticeable now here's some night shots with auto mode you do get some noise in your images but it does quite well obviously this wouldn't be an image for a photo shoot or professional magazine but for everyday average consumer use this is impressive I also want to throw this up there colors are still done well the sky looks great in the staging areas brightness is bad with the rest of the image at least for this shot but going back to I stated earlier once in a while in auto mode you get this blow up unfortunately now once properly set up in manual mode you get much better reasonable shots like this one last stuff is video performance the auto focus worked very well for my test whether focusing on me and my face here or focusing on an object also with that flip-out screen this helped tremendously for those self shoots here I also did leave it on auto mode and colors were vibrant but at times a helmet that's a little too vibrant here I also noticed when walking under varying lights such as in my office from under the lights in the ceiling to another area it takes a while for the t-seven eye to adjust if you do have the proper lighting and you do intend on keeping the camera stationary maybe on a tripod or so the video looks great in my opinion at that time if you're into sitting on using this for vlogging walking outdoors in the shade outside etc the varying brightness alone might be a deal killer for some the last the onboard microphone which I never recommend anyone to use but surprisingly it sounds good for built-in microphones for a DSLR camera here's a quick sample pretty cool also let me know in the comment section below what do you guys think about the colors what do you guys think about the video quality back there the lighting and also natural skin tones would this be something that you would use right out the box and basically upload directly to YouTube or make videos from I guess be interested to see what you guys would use this camera for all right so that's it for this review here I hope it helped
