The Canon EOS T6s is a “top-end” entry-level DSLR in the Rebel line and more advanced version of the Canon EOS T6i. Key features include:
The T6i/T6s Difference. The notable differences between the T6i and T6s is the addition of a top panel LCD, quick control dial, different button layout, horizontal level guide, continuous focus tracking in live view and an HDR video mode. Otherwise, the T6s has all of the features found on its running mate. With that said, the information below is pulled directly from that page.
What’s New. With the T6s finally comes a new APS-C crop-frame sensor and processor. It also has an updated autofocus system, new metering sensor, and built-in Wi-Fi just to name a few. While the T5i was just a T4i+1, the T6s is a genuine step forward.
24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor. The T6s joins the new megapixel race and offers beginners and the budget-minded probably more resolution than they need, but it does give more flexibility for cropping and giant prints. It has a normal ISO range of 100-12,800, with the ability to expand to 25,600 in a pinch. The DIGIC 6 image processor helps to keep high ISO noise down, while also providing a decent 5 fps in continuous shooting mode.
19-Point All Cross-Type Autofocus System. If that sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the same upgraded system that made it into the Canon EOS 70D. While it doesn’t get the 70D’s Dual Pixel AF, it does have a new Hybrid CMOS AF III system that’s a dedicated live-view focusing system. Utilizing both on-sensor phase and contrast detection, continuous focus tracking in live view is possible.
HD Video. The T6s offers Full HD 1080p recording at 30/25/24fps in the MP4 format, with Movie Servo for continuous focus tracking of moving subjects during recording. There’s manual exposure control, as well as built-in stereo mic with manual audio level adjustment. Additionally, there’s a mic jack for connecting an external microphone. The 3.0-inch articulating touchscreen is great for review and composition, with touch-to-focus being a very handy feature.
Other Notable Features. While Wi-Fi has been around in other Canon DSLRs for a few years, this is the first time it’s made its way to the Rebel line. It allows wireless image and video transfer to smartphones using the free Camera Connect mobile app. There’s also an integrated NFC chip for quick pairing with a compatible device. The camera records images and video to SDHC/XC memory cards, and the new LP-E17 battery is rated for 440 shots per charge.
