Canon launches EOS Rebel T7i, 77D, and M6

Canon announced three new camera models today, which include the EOS Rebel T7i (also known as 800D outside the US and Kiss K9i in Japan) and the EOS 77D DSLRs and the EOS M6 mirrorless camera.

The Rebel T7i is a budget DSLR and an update to the Rebel T6i (750D). It features the same 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor but with a new 45-point all cross-type AF system for the optical viewfinder and Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF with phase detection in live view. It also has the new DIGIC 7 image processor and is capable of 6.0fps burst rate and ISO 100-25600. The T71 also includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and NFC for added connectivity options. The T7i also adds HDR movie and time lapse movie modes over the T6i.

The Rebel T7i will be available in April 2017 for $749.99 body-only, $899.99 with the new EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens and $1,299 with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens.

The EOS 77D is like a budget 80D, with a 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor with 45-point all cross-type AF system, Dual Pixel CMOS AF, DIGIC 7 image processor, 7650-pixel RBG+IR Metering Sensor, Anti-Flicker shooting mode, top LCD panel and quick control dial. It comes with all the connectivity options on the T7i.

The 77D will be available in April 2017 for $899.99 body-only, $1,049 with the new EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens and $1,499 with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens.

Lastly, there is the Canon M6, the newest entrant into the Canon mirrorless lineup. Despite the name, the M6 sits under the M5 and replaces the previous M3. It has a 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF with phase detection, DIGIC 7 image processor, 7.0 fps burst rate, 9.0 fps with AF lock, ISO 100-25600, five-axis image stabilization when used with compatible lenses, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and NFC, 3.0-inch tilting touchscreen, and 1080p60 video.

The EOS M6 will be available in April 2017 for $779.99 body-only, $899.99 with EF-M 15-45mm/F3.5-6.3 IS STM zoom kit lens and $1,279.99 with the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens.

Canon also announced the new EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens which is 20% smaller than the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens. It's priced at $249.99. Then there's the Wireless Remote Control BR-E1, a Bluetooth remote that works with all three cameras mentioned above, letting you control them within a 16-foot radius from the camera. It's priced at $50.
