Any word on when the Canon T8i might be shipping again?

I tried two stores. The were both out of stock and no word on when they might be receving more.

Looks like Canon has the T8i kit in stock and Amazon says in stock in late December. B&H says in stock now.

Greetings,

T8i is in stock at B&H

Canon has the 80D for $719 refurb...  They are comparable with the 80D having a slightly richer feature set.  Its also weather sealed.  

If you need 4K video, the T8i has it, 80D is only 2k.  If you buy from Canon, the money you save can be used to buy a spare battery, cards, etc...

And don't forget...  black friday is coming.

Thanks for the replies.

I ordered one from B&H.

I'm upgrading from a T6 and looking forward to it.

You will love it!   Let us know how it goes.

I got my T8i yesterday.

I get a kick out of that great big electronic level, and also the digital zoom on the movie setting. Those are neat 🙂

Congrats on the new camera! The T8i seems to be well featured, a lot of bang for the buck. Didn't know that any DSLRs had digital zoom. That might come in handy at times, but just be aware that the more digital zoom you use the more likely you'll be to start seeing some loss of image quality. Though it would probably be more noticeable on still shooting than with video.

Since video is much lower resolution than photos, the digital zoom can go from the full sensor using some fraction of the sites to an every-pixel-used center part of the sensor without losing resolution.

BurnUnit,

Thanks.

I haven't taken a whole lot of pictures yet, I'm still working on learning the controls.

I really like being able to make changes to the settings by tapping on the screen. It's a whole lot quicker.

And yes, the digital zoom is only when you are in movie mode.

How about a few sample photos?
