Canon EOS 750D Digital SLR Body Only Camera with EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens (24.2 MP, CMOS Sensor) 3-Inch LCD Screen

Product Information

What’s more, each shooting parameter on the Quick Control menu is large enough to be accessed by touch.

It’s not just autofocussing that’s fast, as the 750D also benefits from the new DIGIC 6 image processor for fast continuous shooting. The polished control layout is easy to use, with the touchscreen interface making it much quicker to use, and everything's backed up by solid performance. megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor with an ISO range of 100-12800 (expandable to ISO 25600), as well as 5fps continuous shooting.Although this is a match for the Nikon D5500, the Pentax K-S2’s viewfinder boasts 100% frame coverage, making it easier to accurately compose your photos.

Other annoyances include the viewfinder’s 95% frame coverage which is beaten by the rival Pentax K-S2, and this also offers weather sealing, in-camera image stabilisation and a higher maximum sensor sensitivity than the 750D.Red-eye reduction is enabled or disabled from the first page of the main menu, as are more advanced options such as TTL metering modes, flash sync speeds and flash exposure compensation. Nevertheless, the quality difference between our 1-second ISO 400 long exposure and the Handheld Night Scene image is impressively small. Switch to the Flash Off mode and the camera stays fully automatic, but simply stops the flash from firing. At the time of the 750D’s launch, Wi-Fi and NFC were pretty much the standard connectivity options for cameras like this.

That said, if you’re mainly going to be shooting static subjects, such as landscapes, the 750D will be absolutely fine. Though the detail the sensor resolves doesn’t surpass that of the Nikon D5500, there are more than enough pixels on the chip to produce prints up to A2 size and users can feel confident of shooting at up to ISO 3200 and even 6400 at a push, without the fear of noise severely degrading image quality. Canon groups these four modes into what it terms the ‘Creative Zone’, separating them from options like scene mode pre-sets.Digital Camera World is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. Entering Zone AF allows you select from five areas, with the central area covering nine AF points as opposed to four at the sides and top and bottom of the frame. An autofocus mode button cycles through the single-point, zone and auto modes and lets the user adjust the autofocus point. This is an improved version of the Hybrid CMOS AF II system found in the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 / EOS 100D, having a greater number of focusing pixels arranged in a more regular array than in the past. Canon’s implementation of the technology is subtle, so much so that if you’re coming from a traditional DSLR, you need never use the touch controls and the 750D will function just as you’d expect using the normal D-pad directional controls and SET button on the rear panel.

For some time now we’ve got used to Canon playing it safe with a 9-point diamond formation AF system on their beginner DSLRs, so it’s good to see the EOS 750D (and the EOS 760D) encompassing a more sophisticated 19-point all cross-type autofocus system. With a lower dynamic range readout across its sensitivity range this essentially means is that the sensor allows less shadow detail to be pulled back and recovered from its raw files. Moiré remains a problem in videos, with multi-coloured swirls of interference over dense, repeating patterns. It accepts a LP-E17 battery rather than the LP-E8 battery as used on the EOS 700D, and in typical Canon fashion a selection of picture styles and creative filters are available for those who’d like to artistic license to experiment. Whilst the 700D made waves with its touch-screen interface, its sensor dated back three generations to the 550D/Rebel T2i and was now outperformed in resolution and image quality.

The 750D’s capacitive touchscreen is super responsive in use and makes the adjustment of settings and the selection of icons in the menu effortless. The 8-frame RAW file limit may not sound impressive, but being able to shoot up to 940 JPEGs in burst does. It’s a pity that the Canon EOS 750D still lacks GPS and it won’t record Ultra HD 3840x2160 video, yet this is clearly becoming the industry standard resolution.
