What's a "Rebel"?

I know but the lens for the landscape is only f/4.5-5.6 and the problem I had with the pictures of landscapes with my EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 III seemed to be partly coming from the low aperture opening. What do you think?
The 1300D (called Rebel T6 in the US) is nearly identical to my 1200D (called Rebel T5 in the US). The only difference that I know about is the 1300D adds a limited built-in Wi-Fi capability. They seem to use the same image sensor, and have identical specs and features.
You will get your best results shooting landscapes with aperture set at f/6.3 to f/11. As noted, the sweet spot for most lenses is around f/8. The narrow aperture gives you greater Depth Of Field, getting more foreground and background in focus. A wider aperture will give you a smaller DOF, which will either blur the background or the foreground, depending upon where you focus.
I use my T5 only at ISO 100, on bright sunny days. For me, too much noise begins to creep into the images by ISO 400. I use the T5 mostly for landscapes, and I shoot them at f/6.3 to f/8, depending upon available light to keep shutter speed at least 1/250.
I used the EF-S 10-22mm, but the EF-S 10-18mm is capable of similar shots. Your camera really shines at ISO 100.
