Great Camera for non-professionals that like being able to go automatic but also for professionals
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2021
I started with a Canon SX720HS 40X small digital camera and took pictures of wildlife in my back yard, as well as people, places, etc. So call me a beginner to mid-range camera buff. Then I bought this Canon Rebel 8ti and a 24-105 Canon Zoom Lens. I love the camera because not only does it take the sharpest, clearest. most fantastic pictures I have ever produced, I can actually operate it!! I still know very little about exposure settings, ISO, aperture, etc- I just know that if you put it on auto and hold down the button half way it takes care of everything for you, and you can only get better if you start learning what all the buttons can do for you. I don't want you to think this is beginner's camera, it is not, it is of superior quality and professional grade IMHO, but can be operated easily on your way to becoming a real camera buff. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Perfect for Beginners or Those Wanting to Capture Family Memories!
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2022
I searched for the right camera for a long time and after speaking with professional photographers, I landed on this one. I am in love! I am no professional by any means and I do not plan to be, but I wanted something a little better than just my phone to capture memories, Christmas cards, family get togethers, etc. This camera was worth the investment! I love that it connects via Bluetooth directly to my phone!! I can get the photos as soon as I take them and share with others. No waiting to download onto a computer first. If you’re considering a beginner camera, consider this one!

Replacing our t6i. Lightweight solid camera easy to use for both novice and experienced photographers. Shipping was quick and arrived on time.

I was skeptical, but now I’m in love
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2022
I’ve never owned a camera before so I was a bit skeptical when I saw others in forums and on reviews state that they would skip this one. I understand that if you own the previous version, T7i that the biggest difference is the 4K video capability. From what I can tell, if you want to shoot stationary video, 4K is excellent on the t8i. If you are tracking ppl, you could encounter some instability. I have yet to attempt to edit any of my pics yet because I love the image quality as is. If someone is looking to get into photography as a passionate hobby, this is an amazing entry level camera that I would honestly recommend. Image stabilizing and auto focus are pretty good on this camera too

Great camera but….
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2023
This is a great camera. I bought it as a gift and unfortunately the battery it came with would not charge. Luckily I had blighted a 2nd battery. Amazon was helpful but wanted me to return the whole thing and repurchase due the battery issue. I chose to work through Canon which I’ve gotten nowhere with. Good camera but Canon needs to take back there product.

If this camera has limitations, I havn't reached them yet
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2021
I'm a beginner and very happy with this camera. I'm still learning the features of a "real" camera and lenses, but am learning fast. I've had it almost two weeks. The kit 18-55mm is great for starting out and learning. The editing software from Canon is also great.
The first pic is with a 24mm prime lens and the second and third pic is a 50mm prime. All were edited in Canon's Digital Photo Professional 4. The fourth is the 18-55 lens that comes with the camera and not edited (It's the first day I went out to use the camera)

Great beginner camera, "meh" upgrade for the hobby photographer.
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2020
Might be a good camera for the beginner.
I've had the T4i for 7 years now. Great camera, tens of thousands of shots. I was greatly anticipating receiving the T8i. The main reason I bought it was because it could do the 4K 24P clean HDMI out. I was going to go with the 90d, but Canon refuses to fix the 24P clean out bug (outputs as 30P even though 24P is selected). My workflow is to blu-ray which means I need 24P. After considering dropping Canon altogether, I decided to stick with the T8i (and hand down my T4i to my daughter and share my lens collection).
One thing I did not realize before I bought the camera: it does crop in 4K video mode. I measure about a 2x crop, same shot in 4k video mode at 27mm was about 50mm in photo mode. Maybe it was listed somewhere and I just missed it. So, that's a 1.6x crop sensor plus a 2x crop for 4k video.
I recorded to a Ninja V (mainly to be able to break the 30 minute mark). Footage looks good for the price on an entry level camera. Not a huge dynamic range, but it looks good, especially after being able to dial things in with the tools on the Ninja V. No c-log, but that's not expected at this price. I did try recording to the Ninja V and internally to the SD card and could not see any difference in video quality.
In manual focus mode, it does give you focus peaking on the camera's screen. Not a horrible feature, but it's probably not going to nail the focus using it unless you're zoomed in.
One of the biggest things I'm not happy with is the removal of the exposure compensation button. If you shoot in manual mode, you need this button for quick adjustments. It does allow you to reassign the function to another button, but it's freakin' awkward and not in a comfortable spot like before. Up through the T7i had it, the T8i does not. This alone annoys me and I'd rather shoot photography with my T4i, except for the higher megapixels.
With the removal of the exposure compensation button, they've dumbed down the menus. Again, great if I'm handing this to my 12 year old for her to learn on her own. Depending on the mode dial, it shows you and somewhat walks you through changing settings to get different effects (DoF, subject freeze/blur, bracketing). All things that someone who knows basic photography and their way around their camera can do fairly fast. The option can be disabled to give you the traditional menu.
I fully expect better cameras to be out in the next few years that will make me switch, even to a different brand. I'm tired of other brands going the extra mile to give the user extra features they want while Canon just sets there telling you to shut up and like what they give you. Or go spend lots of money on their higher end equipment. Definitely my last Rebel if they don't bring back the exposure compensation button. Time will tell.
