Canon T6i Optics


The Canon T6i is available body-only, or bundled with either the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, or the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens. To see how the 18-55mm STM lens performs, see our Canon T5i Optics page or our full review of this lens on SLRgear.com. For test results of the 18-135mm STM lens, see our Canon 70D Optics page or our full review on SLRgear.com.

Below are our Canon T6i viewfinder accuracy test results.

Viewfinder Test Results

Accuracy
Fair accuracy from the optical viewfinder, though excellent accuracy from the LCD in Live View mode.

70mm, Optical Viewfinder 70mm, LCD Live View

We measured the Canon T6i's optical viewfinder coverage at about 94%, a little less than Canon's 95% spec, and the resulting image is slightly shifted both horizontally and vertically with respect to the sensor. This unfortunately isn't that unusual for a consumer DSLR, though. Live View mode using the LCD in record mode was much more accurate, resulting in essentially 100% coverage, and of course the image isn't tilted or offset.

 

The images above were taken from our standardized test shots. For a collection of more pictorial photos, see our Canon EOS Rebel T6i (EOS 750D) Photo Gallery .
