The Canon Rebel T8i is the first camera in the Rebel lineup to offer some of the high-quality video specs of larger, more expensive systems. Here are the standout features of this powerful little camera:

• 4K recording at 24p for high definition, cinematic results, plus clean 4K HDMI output.
• Vlogger-friendly vertical video a first for a Canon EOS DSLR.
• Dual Pixel CMOS AF system for smooth and fast focusing performance that is similar to how a dedicated camcorder focuses.
• Eye Detection AF that prioritizes focus on your subject's eye.
• Movie Servo AF mode that performs smooth and natural focusing when switching subjects or changing distances within the same scene. This mode also has the ability to specify tracking sensitivity, AF speed, and Face Tracking priority. All of this supports the Touch AF system on your touchscreen LCD. Rack focus like a pro by simply touching your screen!
• Movie Digital IS reduces camera shake during recording. This provides effective stabilization even when your lens is not equipped with image stabilization.
• DIGIC 8 Image Processor that allows sports and wildlife shooters to capture up to 7.5 FPS.

In additional to these new features, the Rebel T8i maintains the optical viewfinder, which works in concert with a wide-area, 45-point, all cross-type AF system. A cross-type design gives greater accuracy in low-contrast and mixed lighting conditions. The native 100-25600 ISO can be expanded up to 51200, further assisting in mixed lighting and low lighting situations. Other small but important traits of this camera include a popup flash, a microphone port, a remote port, and a completely articulating screen for comfortable shooting at all angles, including selfie mode.

The Rebel series has always been designed with first-time shooters in mind and, despite the more advanced features, the T8i maintains its famed smaller form factor and straightforward layout. What's more, you can connect this camera to compatible smart devices using the free Canon camera Connect app, where you can transfer images, upload to various social media sites, or take advantage of remote Live View Shooting. The Canon Rebel T8i is ideal for students, hobbyists, vacationers, and for everyday capturing/recording of life's events.
