Canon EOS 750D Digital SLR Body Only Camera with EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens (24.2 MP, CMOS Sensor) 3-Inch LCD Screen

Product Information

To summarize, the 750D makes a great choice for beginners making their first inroads into DSLR photography. It comes with a complimentary set of features to tempt those away from the competition and as you’d expect from a DSLR it handles particularly well during prolonged spells of shooting. At the time of the 750D’s launch, Wi-Fi and NFC were pretty much the standard connectivity options for cameras like this. These days, NFC has on the whole disappeared, while always-on low-power Bluetooth connectivity is very popular. Frequent users of video are catered for with a 3.5mic port at the side and full HD video (1920×1080) captured at 30,25 or 24fps. There’s the option to lower the resolution (1280×720) and shoot at 60,50 or 30fps if preferred, while another useful video feature not often found on beginner DSLRs is the option to manually control sound levels in-camera. This arrangement of AF points – combined with a working range of EV-0.5-18 – is identical to Canon’s EOS 70D, however instead of employing Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology the EOS 750D features the same Hybrid CMOS AF III system that debuted on the EOS M3.

The outgoing Nikon D5300 already had the 700D’s 440-shot lifespan beaten, but the Canon EOS 750D retains the same capacity, whereas Nikon has upped the D5500’s battery life to a whopping 820 shots; almost double that of the 750D.

Storage

In fact, the Canon EOS 750D is very much in the mould of its predecessor, the Canon 700D, in that it doesn’t have anything that blows the competition away; rather it’s the consistent, all-round high quality that makes this our top choice for budding enthusiasts.

The 750D was announced and released together with the 760D, a very similar model which adopts some of the ergonomic features of the more expensive 70D. Moving from a nine to nineteen-point autofocus system is another significant improvement over the 700D and helps make the Canon EOS 750D even more dependable, especially due to all the AF points being the more sensitive cross-type. Canon’s addition of a dedicated AF-mode button on the top panel is also a welcome new control.Banding issues caused by Auto Focus pixels - DSLR, Mirrorless & General-Purpose Digital Camera DSO Imaging". Fitting in perfectly with the camera’s fairly easy style, the Canon EOS 750D screen tilts out and up/down to make seeing what you’re shooting when holding the camera above or below your head – or at any sorts of odd angles – easy. It’s a smooth, high-quality vari-angle mechanism. Although our EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM test lens isn’t Canon’s sharpest optic, it was good enough to demonstrate the Canon EOS 750D’s ability to resolve plenty of fine detail. Sharpness can be adjusted along with parameters like contrast, saturation and colour tone in the camera’s Picture Style options. Images also respond well to sharpening in Photoshop, thanks to their low levels of grain noise. It beefed up the resolution from the 18 megapixels of its predecessor, giving you plenty of scope to capture high-resolution shots, employing a crop in editing if need be. Loaded with a Lexar Professional 2000x 64GB SDXC UHS-II memory card and set to record in Raw, the 750D had no difficulties rattling out a burst of 8 frames at 5fps before requiring a breather. This figure shot up switching it to record in JPEG where the camera continuously fired at 5fps for as long as I had my finger depressed on the shutter button.

Speaking of the viewfinder, as is so often the way with cheaper models, it only offers 95% coverage of the scene, rather than 100%. That’s not uncommon at this price point, but it can mean that something creeps into the edges of your frame without you noticing. On the subject of the screen, there’s a deep indent to allow it to be pulled out with ease and the articulation mechanism feels positively robust with just the right level of resistance. Canon EOS 750D Review – Performance The 760D was announced together with the EOS 750D (known as the Rebel T6s in the Americas and the 8000D in Japan). It is very similar to the 750D, but adds the following features: [4] On the inside, there's a 24.2MP APS-C sensor, which shares its pixel count and dimensions with those inside many pricier models. So, whether you want to create massive canvas prints for your wall or just crop into smaller details in post production, you can do so without worrying about image quality. Numerous file quality and size options are available. At full 24.2MP resolution you can shoot in raw (approx. 30MB file size), JPEG Fine (6-12MB) and JPEG Normal (3-6MB). There’s also a raw+JPEG Fine setting.

Accessories

Externally the 750D is almost identical to its predecessor, featuring a 3-inch 1040k-dot LCD display that’s both touch-sensitive and able to articulate. The camera’s physical control layout is also very similar to the 700D. However, if you like the look of the top-panel LCD display and rear control wheel on the EOS 70D, the new 760D introduced alongside the 750D includes these features, but in every other respect is identical to the 750D. Other features include +/-5EV exposure compensation control, a shutter range of 30-1/4000sec and a small pop up flash with a guide number of 12m @ ISO 100. It accepts a LP-E17 battery rather than the LP-E8 battery as used on the EOS 700D, and in typical Canon fashion a selection of picture styles and creative filters are available for those who’d like to artistic license to experiment. Canon EOS 750D Review – Build and Handling The 24.2-million-pixel sensor the 750D and 760D use bring both models into line with their closest rivals in the market, namely the Nikon D5500, which also features a 24.2-million-pixel chip. The move away from an 18-million-pixel sensor to a 24-million-pixel sensor sees a jump in the output image size too – up from 5184×3456 pixels on the 700D to 6000×4000 pixels on the 750D and 760D. Unlike the Nikon D5500 and some other recent high-resolution APS-C sensors however, the 750D and 760D continue to use an anti-aliasing filter and with this in place it has its work cut out to resolve the same levels of resolution. The Canon EOS 750D has eight sensitivity settings ranging from ISO 100 to 12800. This can be expanded one stop to add a High (ISO 25600) sensitivity by enabling ‘ISO expansion’ via the main menu. The camera’s auto ISO upper limit can also be configured, with a maximum sensitivity of ISO 6400. However, the 750D’s sensitivity scale only changes in 1EV steps and there’s no option to add 1/3EV increments. It’s worth noting that our ISO test run was first shot with high ISO noise reduction set to Standard. With the system turned off, noise does become more apparent from ISO3200 upwards, though fine detail is slightly clearer. Whether you choose to shoot with the system enabled and add some sharpening in post-production, or disable in-camera noise reduction and apply your own later is likely to yield very similar end results. That said, if you’re looking for a basic model that slots more easily into your budget, all of these improvements are ‘nice to haves’ rather than ‘absolute essentials’.
