Canon 750D Comparison Review

The Canon EOS 750D (called Canon T6i in some regions) is a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera that was announced in February 2015 and is equipped with an APS-C sensor. It offers a resolution of 24 megapixel.

Is the Canon 750D a good camera? The 750D has a Camera Elo of 2071. This rating puts the 750D among the top 30 percent of all digital single lens reflex cameras. In terms of its sensor size category (APS cameras), the 750D ranks among the top 50 percent. Based on its within category standings, the camera earns a 3.5-star performance rating.

Read on to find out more about the camera’s size, sensor, features, reception by expert reviewers,
and how it compares to other digital cameras.

Body comparison with a credit card

An illustration of the physical dimensions of the Canon 750D vis-à-vis a credit card is provided in the side-by-side display below. Three consecutive perspectives from the front, the top, and the back are presented. All width, height and depth dimensions are rounded to the nearest millimeter.

The table below summarizes the key physical specs of the Canon 750D alongside
a set of similar cameras. If you want to review a particular
camera pair side-by-side, just move across to the CAM-parator tool and
choose from the broad selection of possible comparisons there.

The listed prices provide an indication of the market segment that the manufacturer of the cameras have been targeting. The Canon 750D was launched in the US market at a price of $749. Usually, retail prices stay at first close to the launch price, but after several months, discounts become available.
Later in the product cycle and, in particular, when the replacement model is about to appear, further discounting
and stock clearance sales often push the camera price considerably down. Then, after the new model is out, very good deals can frequently be
found on the pre-owned market.

Sensor comparison with a 35mm slide

The size of the sensor inside a digital camera is one of the key determinants of image quality. A large sensor will generally have larger individual pixels that offer better low-light sensitivity, provide wider dynamic range, and have richer color-depth than smaller pixels in a sensor of the same technological generation. Further, a large sensor camera will give the photographer additional creative options when using shallow depth-of-field to isolate a subject from its background. On the downside, larger sensors are more costly to manufacture and tent to lead to bigger and heavier cameras and lenses.

The Canon 750D features an APS-C sensor and has a format factor
(sometimes also referred to as “crop factor”) of 1.6. Within the spectrum of camera sensors, this places the Canon 750D among the medium-sized sensor cameras
that aim to strike a balance between image quality and portability.

For most cameras, data on sensor performance has been reported by DXO Mark. This service determines an overall sensor rating, as well as sub-scores for low-light sensitivity (“DXO Sports”), dynamic range (“DXO Landscape”), and color depth (“DXO Portrait”). The table below summarizes the physical sensor characteristics and sensor quality findings and compares them across a set of similar cameras.

Note: DXO values in italics represent estimates based on sensor size and age.

Many modern cameras cannot only take still pictures, but also record videos. The 750D indeed provides movie recording capabilities. The highest resolution format that the 750D can use is 1080/30p.

Feature comparison

Apart from body and sensor, cameras can and do differ across a range of features. For example, the 750D has an optical viewfinder that provides a field of view of 95%
and a magnification of 0.51x. The tables below summarize some of the other core capabilities of the Canon 750D in connection with corresponding information for a sample of similar cameras.

Notes: *) Information refers to the mechanical shutter, unless the camera only has an electronic one.

The LCD screen on the Canon EOS 750D is flexibly attached to the body.
In particular, the LCD is hinged on the side and can be flipped out
for odd-angle shots in both portrait and landscape orientation. Also, this fully articulated, swivel type of LCD attachment is often appreciated by
videographers for its flexibility. Moreover, v-loggers like the design because the screen can be turned to be front-facing.

Flexible screen on the 750D

One convenient feature of the 750D is the presence of an on-board flash.
While this built-in flash is not very powerful, it can at times be useful as a fill-in light to brighten deep shadow areas.

Connection comparison

For some imaging applications, the extent to which a camera can communicate with its environment can be an important aspect in the camera decision process. The table below provides an overview of the connectivity of the Canon EOS 750D and, in particular, the interfaces the cameras (and selected comparators) provide for accessory control and data transfer.

It is notable that the 750D has a microphone port.
Such an external microphone input can help to substantially improve the quality of audio recordings when a good external microphone is used.

Further information on the features and operation of the 750D can be found in the
free online Canon 750D Manual or on the
Canon support site.

Expert reviews

While the comparison of the spec-sheets of cameras can offer a general idea of their imaging potential, it remains partial and cannot reveal, for example, the handling experience and imaging performance when actually working with the 750D. At times, user reviews, such as those published at amazon, address these issues in a useful manner, but such feedback is on many occasions incomplete, inconsistent, and unreliable. This is why expert reviews are important. The adjacent table relays the overall verdicts of several of the most popular camera review sites (amateurphotographer [AP], cameralabs [CL], digitalcameraworld [DCW], dpreview [DPR], ephotozine [EPZ], photographyblog [PB]).

The above review scores should be interpreted with care, though. The assessments were made in relation to similar cameras of the same technological generation. Hence, a score should always be seen in the context of the camera’s market launch date and its price, and rating-comparisons among cameras that span long time periods or concern very differently equipped models make little sense. It should also be noted that some of the review sites have over time altered the way they render their verdicts.

Canon 750D FAQ

Below are some additional questions and answers
concerning some particular features of the 750D.

What is the technology behind the imaging sensor in the 750D?

The camera is build around a CMOS (Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor) sensor.

Which image processing chip is used to convert the raw signal into an image file and perform noise reduction and image sharpening?

Canon equipped the 750D with the DIGIC 6 image processor.

What is the ISO sensitivity range of the 750D?

The camera has a native sensitivity range from ISO 100 to ISO 12800.

Does the camera have a selfie-friendly screen?

Yes, the LCD-screen of the 750D is flexible and can be turned to be front-facing for capturing selfies.

What is the life expectancy of the shutter in the Canon EOS 750D?

Canon mentions a shutter rating of 100 000 actuations for the 750D. This number
represents a Mean Time before Failure, that is an average value. The shutter might fail earlier, or it might last longer. Anyway, in order
to exhaust the expected shutter life of the 750D over, say, three years, one would have to take about 100 pictures each and every day.

Does the Canon 750D feature an autofocus assist light?

Yes, the camera has a lamp built-in that can illuminate the subject and improve autofocus in low-light settings.

What is the fastest shutter speed that can be used with flash?

The 750D’s flash sync speed is 1/200 sec.

Does the Canon 750D support the Ultra High Speed (UHS) bus interface for SD cards?

Yes, the camera can indeed use UHS-I cards (data transfer speed of up to 104 MB/s).

Which battery does the 750D use?

The camera gets its power from the LP-E17 (here at amazon), which is a rechargeable Lithium-Ion power pack.

Is there a vertical grip available for the 750D?

Yes, Canon offers the
BG-E18 as an optional accessory
to facilitate shooting in portrait orientation and to provide additional battery power.

Where can I find the best deals for the 750D?

Grey imports from Asia, as found on
ebay,
are often very attractively priced. However, these cameras come without a warranty from Canon.
