Review on Shoot Like a Pro: Canon EOS Rebel T6 DSLR Camera Kit with 18-55mm Lens (Black) by Anson Chen ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, best quality.

In general, an excellent SLR, I think it is bought, of course, by the majority of those who have their first SLR camera, or those who are bored with weaker models for absolutely beginners or just old models. The advice is to immediately think about buying a ZOOM lens, because the Kitovskiy 18-55 is, of course, out of any gate in nature. For those who are switching from soap dishes, please note that there is no zoom lever as you like) you will have to change the lens to photograph different objects. Immediately buy a bag for socks, otherwise it will be a pity to spoil expensive equipment with water, dust, sand, etc., and you won’t be able to wear it around your neck for a long time. I also highly recommend a regular UV (ultraviolet) photo filter for each lens, because you want it or not, but you often touch the lens, and the dust settles all the same, it will not be a pity to throw out the photo filter even if you overdo it with erasing prints or break it, God forbid . the lens is still more expensive . You also need a cleaning kit, it costs about 500, a graphite pencil, a pear, a rag are standard. If you plan to shoot with a slow shutter speed, well, for example, at night the stars, the moon, then take a tripod right away, you can’t do without it. I got used to shooting with a delay of a few seconds, then the pictures are not blurry even without the release cord. As for optics, for beginners - don’t chase cool lenses, you won’t be able to use their capabilities anyway, perhaps what’s important is the image stabilizer on the zoom lens, well, or from a tripod again . The camera is 100% worth its money, you won’t regret not a of invested funds! An ideal device for beginners in the "mirror world" with a big reserve for the future.

Pros
  • 1. Convenient menu and convenient detailed manual 2. Good build quality and quality parts 3. Relatively low price for such a device 4. In auto mode or semi-automatic, it shoots very well even with a whale lens, rarely makes mistakes in choosing an exposure 5. In manual modes, of course, it is beyond praise (with acceptable ISO, of course, and straight arms) 6. Ergonomics on top! In the hand like a glove, even with one hand you get clear pictures, and this is with its weight! Class! 7. Shooting video in HD at 4, well, this is not a camcorder, so there is generally a video many thanks to Canon! 8. The swivel screen is a class, it does not scratch when it is not necessary to turn it off and that's it, when you need to remove it from raised hands - please, take the screen towards you and take it off. 9. Good capacious battery 10. Matrix 18 MP, not noisy with good resolution
Cons
  • Perhaps the disadvantages of the main 2: 1. In the shooting mode, not with a viewfinder, but on the display, it takes a very long time to aim, well, although this is more of a claim to optics even . 2. In video mode, autofocus does not work 3. The lid could really be fixed somehow, after Sony where it was done, it’s somehow strange to me 4. Not quite clear use of buttons in video mode, how to start recording? I would start with the shutter button or the enter button in the center, but no) you can’t figure it out without instructions ( 5. ISO 6400 and above is made for jackdaws, too noisy
