- Is the T8i a good first DSLR?
- Yes. Guided menus, a comfortable grip and reliable autofocus make it forgiving for beginners. It is a sensible step up from a phone or an older Rebel.
- How does it compare with the EOS R50?
- The R50 is smaller, mirrorless and has better video autofocus. The T8i offers an optical viewfinder, longer battery life and native use of EF-S lenses.
- Does 4K video crop the frame?
- Yes. 4K 24p uses a crop of the sensor and relies on contrast-detect autofocus, so wide shots are tighter and focus tracking is less smooth than in 1080p.
- Is it weather sealed?
- No. The body has no weather sealing, so protect it from rain and dust.
- What lenses fit it?
- It uses the Canon EF-S mount and accepts EF lenses too. The kit 18-55mm covers a 29-88mm equivalent range and takes 58mm filters.
- Can it shoot vertical video?
- Yes. It supports vertical video for phone-style social clips.
