Specs
EOS 750D
Whether you’re an expert or brand new to photography, it really doesn’t matter with the EOS 750D. This DSLR is designed to make taking pictures whatever your experience easy and stimulating. It features a range of shooting modes from basic to creative to fully manual, perfect for every level of shooter, whatever you’re trying to capture. Details won’t escape the powerful 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor, which gives you plenty of control over depth-of-field, as well as reduced noise and improved dynamic range. An articulated LCD screen is particularly useful if you want to capture shots a little out of the ordinary; high up or awkward angles are a struggle no more. It’s touch sensitive too. More of a traditional shooter? There’s a built-in intelligent viewfinder that offers accurate framing and a sturdy shooting position.
