Alongside the announcement last week for Canon’s new 50MP 5Ds, the company also announced a new Rebel camera available in two models: the T6i (750D) and the T6s (760D).
The new Rebel T6i and T6s both use a new sensor, a 24-megapixel APS-C sensor. They also both use Canon’s latest DIGIC 6 processor and the Hybrid CMOS AF III autofocus system.
The Canon T6s (760D) has a few more features than the the the T6i (750D). It includes an LCD settings panel on the top of the DSLR. This is similar to the one you find on top of the more high-end DSLRs like the Canon 5D. The mode dial button also features a new lock so that you don’t accidentally change the shooting mode. There are other small things like settings panel on the back of the camera is a directional pad on the 750D versus an easier to use the dial on the back of the 760D.
The most significant difference in the two cameras is that the Canon 760D offers an HDR movie mode. This mode allows you to shoot two frames at once: one overexposed and one underexposed. It merges the two frames, giving you a broader dynamic range.
