More info:
The Canon EOS 750D (also known as the Canon EOS Rebel T6i) features a new 24.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, with a 19-point phase-detection AF system, an improvement over the 9-point AF system found in the Canon EOS 700D. Whilst not up there with the 39 focus points found in the Nikon D5500, it is more than the 11 focus points found on the Pentax K-S2.

The 3.0inch vari-angle touchscreen features the same resolution of 1040K dots as the 700D, and the optical viewfinder gives a 95% coverage (0.82x magnification) of what you are photographing, and for a larger view you would need to look at the 70D with 98% coverage (0.95x magnification), or the 7D Mark II with 100% coverage (1x magnification). This is on a par with the Nikon D5500 with 95% coverage and 0.82x magnification, but does not match the impressive optical viewfinder found in the Pentax K-S2, which has 100% coverage and 0.95x magnification.

There are numerous Auto, Scene, and Creative shooting modes to make it easy for a beginner to take creative and stylish shots, as well as full manual controls for the more advanced photographers. Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC makes it easy to connect to smartphones and tablets, and the app, Canon Camera Connect, is available for Android and iOS devices.

A Canon EOS Companion app explains camera settings, and is split into different areas starting with the basics of photography in the 'Learn' section, followed by the 'Explore' section where you can get to know your camera and settings, then 'Inspire' which is designed to take you further into photography once you've got more familiar with your camera. The app is available for Android and iOS devices.

The Canon EOS 750D records fullHD video (1080p at 25fps) with stereo sound, and there is a microphone socket on the side for those that want to record higher quality audio, and there are settings to let you change the microphone volume.
