Pros

  • Slightly higheesolution sensor compared to the T6, increasing from 18-megapixels to 24.1-megapixels
  • Performance and photo quality have remained consistent over the years

Cons

  • Autofocus and metering systems date back to 2009
  • Lacks the Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus found in other models in the lineup
  • Minimal updates beyond the sensor upgrade
  • Old components used in the design and features

Bottom Line

The Canon EOS 850D (Rebel T8i) offers improved resolution at 24.1 megapixels compared to its predecessor and maintains solid performance and photo quality. However, its dated autofocus and metering systems and lack of significant feature updates beyond the sensor upgrade make it less appealing for those seeking the latest technology. For users focused on traditional photography without needing the most current features, it remains a reliable choice.
