In today’s video, I’ll be looking at the Canon Rebel T7. The Canon Rebel T7 is one of Canon’s most inexpensive DSLRs. While it’s older sibling, the Canon Rebel T6, is still on sale, the Canon EOS Rebel T7 brings a modest improvement in the number of megapixels, coming in 24MP vs the T6’s older 18MP sensor. Obviously Megapixels aren’t everything, so I’ll let you know which of these cameras I’d recommend at the end of the video. I’ll also compare it some other similarly priced cameras, like the Nikon D3500, and give you my recommendations on which camera would work best for you. On the outside very little has changed. A few years ago, I had reviewed the Rebel T5 and the Canon Rebel T7 has really changed very little since. As I just mentioned, it hides a 24MP APS-C sized sensor behind it’s kit 18-55mm, non-STM lens. The body is built like almost any other Rebel DSLR- it’s sturdy and very comfortable to handle. However, it isn’t by any means as compact as the Canon SL2 or the Nikon D3500. However, it isn’t unusually bulky or heavy either. The buttons on the Canon T7 are also laid out like on any other Rebel camera, with the shutter button, the mode dial, the on-off button and adjuster dials on top. The only notable difference is the flash button, which is now on the top face. There is also a really useful hotshoe on the top face and Canon’s standard pop-up flash. The rear also has very few surprises and very little seems to have changed on the Canon T7- everything is exactly where you’d expect to find it. The 3.0 inch non-touch LCD screen doesn’t flip or articulate, but is decent enough to view pictures and change menu settings. The menus are also standard canon menus that are pretty easy to navigate. Autofocus using this screen though is a whole different story, more about that in a minute. The battery and SD card are in this compartment on the bottom, as is the case with a lot of cheaper DSLRs. Rather pleasantly Canon provides a standalone battery charger to charge the battery. That way you can buy replacements and swap the battery out, while your depleted battery charges up. And as expected, the Canon Rebel T7 can also mount to a tripod, if needed. When I tested the rebel T5 a few years ago, I found the Autofocus in Live View mode to be painfully slow. And sadly, that hasn’t changed much on the Canon Rebel T7.
