Canon EOS 760D DSLR Camera Body, Black {24MP} European Version of Rebel T6S

Canon's Rebel flagship with a thumb wheel and top LCD

The EOS 760D pairs a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor with a 19-point all cross-type AF system, the same architecture Canon first put in the 7D. That resolution jump over prior Rebels shows up in fine detail and in JPEG output that holds together well through ISO 12800, with the option to push to 25600 when you need it. A 7,560-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor adds color tone detection to help the camera identify skin tones for autofocus point selection in One Shot or AI Focus mode.

What sets the 760D apart from its 750D sibling is the control layout borrowed from Canon's higher-end bodies: a rear thumb wheel with integrated four-way controller, plus a top-plate LCD for checking settings without raising the camera to your eye. In live view, the 760D adds AI Servo autofocus, letting the camera track focus continuously as you shoot instead of hunting for it after you press the shutter. Combined with the fully articulated 3-inch touchscreen at 1,040,000 dots, that makes waist-level and overhead framing far more workable for video and stills alike.

Shooting speed sits at 5 fps, plenty for casual action work, and the shutter runs from 30 seconds to 1/4000 sec. Built-in 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi with NFC handles image transfer and remote triggering from a phone, and the pop-up flash doubles as a commander for external EX Speedlites. At 565g, it's light enough for all-day carry without giving up an optical viewfinder or the tactile dials that made the Rebel line a go-to for photographers moving up from a smartphone.

Who It's For

Photographers upgrading from a starter DSLR benefit from the 19-point all cross-type AF system, which locks focus quickly even in dim rooms or at ISO 12800. Street and travel shooters gain from the fully articulated touchscreen for shooting from the hip or over crowds, paired with Wi-Fi and NFC for pushing images to a phone on the move. Anyone shooting portraits or family video in live view gets real use out of AI Servo autofocus, which keeps a moving subject in focus continuously than refocusing at the moment of capture. Hobbyists building a first serious kit will appreciate the top-plate LCD and dedicated thumb wheel, controls usually reserved for Canon's higher tier bodies, for adjusting exposure without leaving the viewfinder.

FAQ

What AF system does the 760D use, and how does it compare to earlier Rebels?

The 760D has a 19-point all cross-type AF system, the same architecture Canon first deployed in the 7D. It's a significant jump from the 9-point system in earlier Rebels and performs quickly even in low light. The system also adds zone focusing, letting you assign focus to one of five zones instead of just picking individual points.

Can the 760D track moving subjects in live view?

Yes. In live view, the 760D supports AI Servo autofocus, which continuously tracks focus as you shoot instead of hunting for it after each shutter press. Combined with the touchscreen, you can tap a subject and the camera will stick with it-a feature the cheaper T6i doesn't have in live view.

How does the 760D's 24MP sensor perform at high ISO?

JPEG output holds together well through ISO 12800, and you can push to 25600 if needed. The sensor applies slightly less noise reduction than competitors, which means better detail retention but not quite the same noise performance as some other APS-C bodies.

What's different between the 760D and 750D (T6i)?

The 760D adds a rear thumb wheel with integrated four-way controller and a top-plate LCD for checking settings without raising the camera. More importantly for video and live view work, it includes AI Servo autofocus in live view mode-the 750D doesn't have that.

Does the 760D have Wi-Fi and remote control?

Yes. Built-in 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi with NFC handles image transfer and remote triggering from a smartphone. The pop-up flash also doubles as a commander for external Canon EX Speedlites.

What video formats and resolutions does the 760D shoot?

The 760D shoots 1920 x 1080 at 30p, 25p, or 24p; 1280 x 720 at 60p or 50p; and 640 x 480 at 30p or 25p. It supports both MPEG-4 and H.264 with a choice of standard or lightweight compression. It also includes HDR video mode, though that's limited to 720p and requires shooting in automatic preset modes.

How long does the battery last?

The LP-E17 battery delivers 440 shots per charge using the optical viewfinder, or about 180 shots if you're shooting in live view continuously.
