Canon T6 vs T7 – Check out which one should you choose & Why?

Canon T6 was released on March 10, 2016, and T7 was released in Feb 2018. Both are two good quality cameras but if you are looking for the best one I would recommend Canon T7 rather than the Canon t6.

Which one is Best & Why?

  • Canon T7 has 24.10 megapixels APS-C sensor, whereas T6 has 18.0 megapixels APS-C sensor. A better megapixel camera helps to capture images and videos in higher Resolution with more details.
  • The low light ISO of Canon T7 is 1009 and Canon T6 is 781 which helps to shoot your desired picture in the sunset, after sunset, or when the light is not enough for taking pictures.
  • You can use Canon T7 as a webcam instead of Laptops and other webcams to make a good impression when you are attending a meeting, but you can’t with Canon T6.
  • T7 has Live view() option, whereas T6 Doesn’t. This option allows you to see some shoots before and after you press the shutter button to select the perfect picture. Some people call it shooting while viewing a real-time image.
  • Canon T7 includes eight white balance settings, including automatic white balance, but T6 has only auto white balance. With Canon T7 you can control the color balance just like you want.

After Checking all the above-mentioned, I hope now you know the reason for my recommendation.  One more thing, the price is almost the same. When you can get an updated camera with better features and performance at almost the same price why you should get the older one? After all, it’s your choice.

What Both Cameras Can Do?

  • The ISO sensitivity range of a camera refers to its sensitivity to light. Suppose you are taking photos on a sunny day and don’t want your photos to be washed out or overly exposed. In this case, you have to lower your ISO sensitivity range to get a realistic image. Again, you must increase the ISO range when the light is low during the afternoon or evening. Interestingly the ISO range of T6 and T7 is 100-6400, and you can expand it to 12800. So, both cameras’ perform well in low light or bright conditions.
  • Are you interested in creativity or want to take photos differently? Well, then, you can use filters with either T6 or T7. Both cameras have five filters for still images. For example: if you want to reduce haziness in outdoor photos, you can use UV/haze filters. In addition, this filter will protect the lens from UV lights and scratches.
  • Both devices have DIGIC 4+ processors, which will increase your image processing speed and reduce the need for frequent battery changes.
  • These cameras’ continuous shooting speed is 3.0 frames per second. So, these cameras are very useful when you are covering events as they will provide you the facility to capture multiple angles in a short time.
  • These cameras can operate in challenging temperatures like 0-40°C, and the humidity range is 85% or below. So, If you love to travel, then T6 and T7 can be your best companion.
