Why the latest DSLR from Canon should be your next camera
Capture the moment anywhere with the feature-packed, versatile and supremely portable EOS 850D – the key to fantastic digital photographs and 4K video
The latest camera from Canon, the EOS 850D, is high-quality and filled with useful features.
As adept taking nature shots as it is family portraits, it makes a range of photographic genres easily accessible.
Its 24.1-megapixel camera sensor is large – a size called APS-C – so the individual pixels are big and able to pull in light with great efficiency.
Unlike a smartphone, it has an optical viewfinder which enables you to see your image directly. Plus, thanks to a Vari-Angle touchscreen, you can experiment with creative new angles in your photography.
The range of manual overrides possible on a camera such as this is comprehensive, with a rear control dial for adjusting shutter speed to improve performance in low light or changing aperture size to control depth of field. That's great for portrait effects, offering a pin-sharp subject against a blurred background.
Advanced features on the EOS 850D
The Canon EOS 850D also has fast autofocus to make your shots look their best as quickly as possible.
It’s not only light and easily portable – so you shouldn’t get tired of carrying it even for long periods – it also has plenty of advanced features, such as shooting video in 4K resolution.
What's more, the Canon EOS 850D is capable of continuous shooting at seven frames per second, ensuring you get exactly the shot you’re after.
The EOS 850D is equipped with a sophisticated image processor: the DIGIC 8. This makes extra features possible, such as Eye Detection AF (only available in live view, not when using the viewfinder), which means that the camera can detect human faces and autofocus on their eyes. This can lock on to the eyes and stay focused on them even if the subject moves, making for photos that look great.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi built-in
But this camera also takes some notes from the smartphone world by including great connectivity. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are built in, to let you synchronise your images to your phone or laptop, for instance. And it supplements the optical viewfinder with a display which can be angled to get the shot you need, even if you’re holding the camera above your head.
It's also compatible with other Canon lenses, something that photographic enthusiasts may already have in their collection.
The Canon EOS 850D is a great example of the virtuosity of an SLR, offering strong features in a highly attractive design. With it, you can capture the moment anywhere.
