One might argue such features are especially important for the demographic using cameras like the Rebel - first time parents and first time shooters generally may not wish to take full control over focus, rather expecting that getting a DSLR should mean that the camera should just focus on their running child. Continuous AF performanceĬontinuous, intelligent AF performance to understand what it is you wish to focus on, and then reliably focus on that subject (even if it's moving), are features being increasingly offered in cameras these days. For moving subjects, you're better off selecting your own AF point (manual selection), and keeping it over your subject by constantly reframing, especially as 'auto selection' in continuous AF can be unreliable as we explain below. This means that quite often your subject will have moved quite a bit before your camera even realizes it should attempt to refocus. And we found AI Focus - which tries to automatically decide if you have a moving subject that requires continuous AF - to be very laggy in realizing your subject's actually moving. As it is, if you want continuous AF and wish the camera to worry about focus point selection, you'll have to use AI Focus. While this is fine for a lot of users, it would've made sense to offer a mode where the camera can automatically select the AF point from the get-go, using skin-tone detection to focus on a human subject, for example (more on this later). Previous Rebels would allow continuous AF with the camera automatically picking the starting AF point, but on the T6i, you must start with one AF point over your subject, after which the camera will automatically track your subject by choosing the appropriate AF points to remain on your subject as it moves. One thing to note: auto AF point selection, which is something we'd expect many typical Rebel users to wish to default to, is oddly implemented in continuous AF (AI servo). Zone AF allows you to select one of five AF zones (center, left, right, top, or bottom) and can be useful for some types of shooting, such as keeping AF points on top of a moving subject.

One of those improvements is that there are now three AF point selection options: manual point selection, automatic selection, and zone selection.

The 19-point, all cross-type AF system on the Rebel T6i (and T6s) is a noticeable improvement over previous Rebels. While not cutting edge by today's standards, it has performed well on past models and brings some welcome improvement to the Rebel line. In fact, this basic AF system was first introduced in the EOS 7D in 2009. We call it 'new' because, despite the fact that it's new on the Rebel T6i, it's not a new system for Canon. The good news is that with the T6i (and its sibling, the T6s) Canon has finally updated the basic 9-point AF system that has been a staple of the Rebel line for years with a 'new' 19-point, all cross-type AF system. Maybe we've been spoiled by all the large, high quality EVFs to come across our desks in recent years, but the T6i viewfinder feels a bit smallish nonetheless. While this is similar to previous Rebel models, small optical viewfinders are starting to feel a bit dated. The optical viewfinder on the T6i has a magnification of 0.82x, which on an APS-C camera makes for a somewhat small viewing image. The Rebel T6i isn't likely to grab any headlines with a 5 fps continuous shooting speed, however it's likely sufficient to cover most situations in which a Rebel-class camera will be used.
