Canon's last APS-C DSLR — Dual Pixel AF, 4K 25p, articulating touchscreen, optical viewfinder.
The Canon EOS 850D (Rebel T8i, 2020) is Canon's final APS-C DSLR, combining 24.2MP with Dual Pixel CMOS AF in live view. It bridges the gap between beginner Rebels and the enthusiast 90D with 45-point all-cross-type viewfinder AF.
Good image quality to ISO 6400. Dual Pixel AF in live view is fast and accurate. 45-point OVF AF handles slow-to-moderate action. 4K 25p video with crop. 7fps burst. Articulating touchscreen. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Canon EF/EF-S mount with optical viewfinder and built-in flash. Single SD card slot. Compact polycarbonate body. 515g weight. Guided UI mode for beginners. 4K applies a significant crop.
Available used as Canon shifts to RF mirrorless. Check shutter count — rated 100,000 actuations. The R10 mirrorless is the spiritual successor with better AF and no 4K crop. The last DSLR Canon will make in this class.
