The Canon EOS 850D/Rebel T8i brings 4K video to “enthusiast” level DSLRs

February 13, 2020 by John Aldred 5 Comments

Canon has now officially announced the new Canon EOS 850D/Rebel T8i, and it looks like the rumours were mostly true. As an “enthusiast level” DSLR, it houses a 24.1-megapixel APS-C sensor and shoots 4K video. It retains the design of its 800D predecessor, as well as the 45-point all cross-type AF, but offers some nice updates, too.

The EOS 850D/T8i both replaces both the EOS 77D (basically a 750D/T6i but with a top LCD) and the EOS 800D. There’s no top LCD on this one, like the 77D, but an AF-On button has been added to the back for those who prefer back-button-focusing. It also sees a new sensor, new metering system, Eye AF in Live View mode and faster continuous shooting speed.

After a recent leak showed off some of the specs and a couple of “official” photos of the product, Nokishita has posted some more photos of the actual camera itself, ahead of the upcoming announcement.

Well, Canon sure is the talk around the water cooler lately, huh? First the EOS R5, then the EOS R6 and now it seems the EOS 850D (Rebel T8i) details are starting to come out, along with some leaked photos this time.

The leak of an expected announcement for the new camera first came from a not-too-unexpected source, Nokishita, via Twitter, where they also mention a Canon RF 24-105mm STM lens. They expect an announcement to come in February, likely before or at CP+ in Japan.
