this system's exciting features and potential
Aimed at beginners stepping up to DSLR photography, the Canon Rebel
T6s/EOS 760D is the new flagship model for the company's line of
interchangeable-lens DSLR cameras, which inherits a broad range of
features from the mid-range EOS 70D. It is launched simultaneously with
the Rebel T6i/EOS 750D, a cheaper model with fewer features. Although
their body designs are notably different, the two models essentially
have only slight differences. The layout and controls of the T6s are
intended to appeal to a higher-end photographer, and include a
top-mounted LCD display. The rear-panel four-way controller is replaced
by a Control Dial interface, making it appealing for the T6s to serve as
a second body alongside a higher-end Canon model. Internally the T6s
contains a 24.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor, the highest resolution yet
provided by a Canon APS-C format DSLR. Output is handled by a DIGIC 6
image processor. This combination provides an ISO sensitivity range of
100-12,800 (expandable to 25,600) and a burst rate of five frames per
second. The T6s can automatically disable the LCD monitor when the
viewfinder is brought to the eye, due to a proximity sensor above the
eyepiece. It also features a single-axis electronic level function, and
offers several live-view and movie-mode capabilities not found in the
T6i. It can also adjust focus between frames in burst-mode live view
shooting, to capture high dynamic range movies, and to digitally "zoom"
movies during capture by cropping the sensor window. Both cameras offer
19-point, cross-type phase-detection autofocus with Hybrid CMOS AF III
autofocus, improving performance and tracking in live-view shooting.
They also have 7,560 pixel RGB+IR metering sensors and locking mode
dials. Their viewfinders include the Intelligent Viewfinder overlay
function, (a Rebel-series first). In-camera Wi-Fi networking with Active
NFC (Near Field Communication) allows the camera to pair with compatible
Android devices. Also included is Silent Shooting mode support, flicker
detection, and lens distortion correction.
