Canon today announced the addition of two new DSLR cameras to its popular EOS Rebel lineup: the EOS Rebel T6s Digital SLR camera, and the EOS Rebel T6i Digital SLR camera. Featuring a newly developed 24.2 megapixel Canon CMOS imaging sensor, both cameras deliver the highest resolution available amongst EOS models with an APS-C format sensor. Additionally, the cameras feature built-in Wi-Fi and near field communication (NFC) capabilities.
The new EOS Rebel cameras have an extensive ISO range of 100-12800 (expandable to 25600) to accommodate a wide range of shooting situations. Both also have Canon’s new Hybrid CMOS AF III image sensor-embedded autofocus system, which allows for high levels of speed and accuracy when capturing Full HD video or high-resolution photos in Live View.
The EOS Rebel T6s and EOS Rebel T6i cameras feature EOS Movie mode which captures Full HD 1080p resolution video up to 30 fps in MP4 format. Manual exposure control, digital zoom and an external stereo microphone jack are provided for advanced users using the EOS Rebel T6s.
Images and videos can also be shared wirelessly to a wide range of popular social networking sites through Canon Image Gateway. The camera’s built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) allows quick pairing to a compatible Android device, or output devices that support NFC.
The EOS Rebel T6s Digital SLR camera and EOS Rebel T6i Digital SLR camera are scheduled to be available at the end of April. The estimated retail price of the EOS Rebel T6s is $930 for the body only, and $1,280 bundled with an EF-S 18-135 STM lens. The EOS Rebel T6i has an estimated retail price of $850 for the body only, $1,000 bundled with an EF-S 18-55 STM lens, and $1,200 bundled with an EF-S 18-135 STM lens.
