Canon rebel T7 breakdown and review

The Canon rebel T7 camera presents itself as a small camera packed with some powerful features. More impressive is its higher sensor delivering improved performance. The camera is an improved version of its predecessor, the T6.

This camera is a DSLR (digital single-lens reflex camera), a type of digital camera that allows interchangeable lenses on the same camera body. The camera, despite its high-end features, is very affordable making it a great DSLR entry-level camera.

The camera is similar to the T6 but comes with a 24.1 MP sensor that’s the difference between a good image size, zooming range, depth of field, and its performance in low light, compared to a bad one. This helps determine how good the photos will look like and how big they can be scaled or printed. It’s also easy to use making it user-friendly to DSLR beginners. It also comes with an 18-55mm or 3.5 – 5.6f IS II lens. The camera has a 3-inch LCD fixed screen and an optical viewfinder that give you clear and bright photos.

Design and Build

The Canon Rebel T7 measures 3.1 x 5.1 x 4 inches and weighs 1.04 pounds as a body only, and 1.75 pounds with the SD card and battery.

The control system is made of buttons with an on/off switch and a 4-way controller which are well-marked. Its external controls offer one-touch access to the most important features including white balance, focus & drive modes, and ISO making it easy to use.
