Designed for beginners looking for superior image quality, the Canon EOS 800D has been launched in India at a price of Rs. 56,995. It comes loaded with Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF, an intelligent system that constantly tracks moving subjects during live view, ensuring subjects to always be in focus.
The new EOS 800D also features a DIGIC 7 image processor, which is paired with a highly sensitive 24.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor. Paired together, these technologies allows for the world’s fastest AF speed of 0.03 seconds and the fastest in-class continuous shooting speed of 6fps. The EOS 800D supports normal ISO speeds from 100-25,600, enabling users to capture a wide range of image expressions.
The Canon EOS 800D features an intuitive touchscreen interface, which makes it easy to navigate and adjust the camera settings. A new shooting mode guide, complete with shooting tips, thorough explanations and graphics, will help beginners familiarize themselves with the camera and enhance their understanding of the different shooting modes. More experienced DSLR users have the flexibility of switching off the simplified user interface.
The 800D also gets a new Group Photo scene mode which automatically adjusts the shutter speed and ISO speed so that users can shoot at a range of f/8.0 to f/11, thus enlarging the depth of field and ensuring all subjects are in focus. Further, the vari-angle LCD screen on the EOS 800D can be tilted 180 degrees and rotated.
The 800D’s video capabilities are further enhanced with DAF and image stabilization, which allows shooting videos at a smooth 60 fps. The EOS 800D is one of the first DSLR in Canon’s EOS line-up to be equipped with movie digital IS. The function uses an in-built gyro sensor to detect and correct camera shakes via electronic compensation for higher stability to produce more vivid images. There’s an in-built time lapse function too.
The EOS 800D supports Bluetooth Low Energy connections, which provides a stable connection at extremely low power consumption, extending battery life without battery drainage. Using Bluetooth, the users can make many settings adjustments wirelessly. It also gets Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity, whereas, with the Canon Camera Connect app, users can control the camera remotely, allowing them to change the settings, view images and even shoot via a few touches on their phone. The EOS 800D comes packaged with the new EF-S18-55 F/4- 5.6 IS STM compact standard zoom lens which together costs Rs. 62,995.00 (Incl., of all taxes). While if you’re only after the body, it’ll cost you Rs. 56,995.00 (Incl., of all taxes)
