Canon EOS Rebel T6 / 1300D Review

Canon EOS Rebel T6 / 1300D Review

Welcome to a Battery Grip specialist of the Canon Battery Grip

Back in 2003, Canon introduced the first EOS Digital Rebel (300D), the first DSLR to retail for under $1,000. The great value drove this model to the #1 sales position in less than 30 days and an EOS Digital Rebel model has been the #1 best selling interchangeable lens digital camera ever since – for 13 years straight. [per Canon] The T6's predecessor, the T5, has held that position since its introduction and safe to say is that the T6 (named 1300D in some countries) will quickly take over this position.

While those considering a step up from a mobile phone camera or a point and shoot will quickly see the value of the Canon EOS Rebel T6, many who follow this site regularly (serious amateur and professional photographers) may be far less than excited by the announcement of an entry level DSLR model with grip such as Canon BG-E2N Battery Grip, Canon EOS 350D Battery Grip, Canon EOS Rebel XSi Battery Grip, Canon Eos 5D Mark II Battery Grip, Canon EOS 7D Battery Grip, Canon EOS 550D Battery Grip, Canon 60D Battery Grip, Canon EOS 1100D Battery Grip, Canon 5D Battery Grip, Nikon D60 Battery Grip, Nikon D3000 Battery Grip . Although this may not be the ideal primary camera for the latter group, some professionals may want at least one of these cameras in their kits (more about this later) and all of us need to recognize the importance of this camera. That importance is summed up by image quality per dollar. For a bargain price, the Rebel T6 delivers professional grade image quality.

The Rebel T6 serves as an economically feasible gateway to professional photography. Practically everyone owns a smartphone, making it very difficult to stand out in that crowd. Owning even a base DSLR model puts one on the path of truly knowing the ins and outs of photography, not simply composition. With the use of interchangeable lenses, a DSLR photographer can express themselves in so many different ways – through wide angle, telephoto, fisheye, and tilt-shift lenses, from f/1.2 to f/22. The inexpensive T6 represents the key that unlocks the door to all the benefits of DSLR photography. Thus, the T6 is much more than its price tag – it represents a world of imaging that is so far inaccessible to smart phone photographers.
