Is the Canon EOS Rebel T7 still worth buying?

Yes if you want a cheap DSLR with an optical viewfinder and good daylight image quality. If you need 4K video, fast autofocus or a flip screen, a mirrorless body is a better fit.

How does the T7 compare with the T7i or T8i?

The T7i and T8i add more AF points, a vari-angle touchscreen and faster shooting, and the T8i adds 4K video. The T7 is the cheapest and simplest of the three.

What is the battery life like?

Canon rates the LP-E10 battery at roughly 500 shots using the viewfinder and fewer with live view. Carrying a spare battery is sensible for a full day out.

The kit includes the T7 body, the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens, battery, charger, strap and body cap. A memory card is not included, so buy an SD card separately.

Does the kit lens fit other Canon cameras?

The EF-S 18-55mm fits Canon APS-C DSLRs with an EF-S mount. It also mounts on full-frame EF bodies only with limitations, and it needs an adapter on Canon RF mirrorless cameras.

When is the T7 cheapest?

Prices tend to dip during Black Friday, back-to-school and end-of-year sales, and when a successor is promoted. Watch the price history rather than buying at list price.

Our take on the Canon EOS Rebel T7 DSLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens Kit

The Canon EOS Rebel T7 is an entry-level APS-C DSLR sold as a kit with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II zoom lens. It pairs a 24.1MP CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4+ processor with an optical viewfinder, a 3-inch 920,000-dot LCD and built-in Wi-Fi with NFC. The kit is a low-cost way into interchangeable-lens photography with an optical viewfinder, though the 9-point AF and 1080p video are dated next to mirrorless rivals.
