<p dir="ltr">The new entry-level DSLR from Canon, the EOS Rebel T6 camera makes it easy to share photos and videos to social media sites via compatible smartphones, mobile devices, and Canon’s Connect Station CS100.<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/18198427-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="544" /><br> </p> <p dir="ltr">The Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera includes new automatic modes for beginner photographers. The camera’s new “white priority” Auto White Balance setting enables photographers to take photos with a more neutral tone when shooting under incandescent lighting. The Scene Intelligent Auto mode analyzes the image, accessing faces, colors, brightness, moving objects, contrast and camera stability. Then it chooses the exposure and enhancements best for that scene so photographers can focus on composition. The new ‘Food Mode’ enhances the color and brightness of food images while simultaneously making the images ready to share. Other fully automatic exposure modes include portrait, night portrait, landscape, sports, and close-up. In addition to the automatic modes, the new Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera provides complete manual exposure and focus controls plus RAW image output.<br> <br> </p> <p dir="ltr">More features of the Canon EOS Rebel T6 DSLR:<br> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">18.0 Megapixel Canon CMOS (APS-C) image sensor and high-performance DIGIC 4+ Image Processor for excellent image quality and speedy operation. </p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Continuous shooting up- to- three frames per second (fps), with predictive autofocus to keep every image sharp, even moving subjects.</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">ISO 100–6400 (expandable to H: 12800) for shooting in bright light and low light.</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Built-in Wi-Fi® and NFC connectivity for easy sharing to smart devices, social media sites and the Canon Connect Station CS100 device.</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">9?point AF system (including one center cross?type AF point) and AI Servo AF for impressive autofocus performance with accurate results.</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">High-performance Optical Viewfinder to help facilitate quick and accurate focusing by firmly framing and capturing the subject.</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Large, 3.0-inch LCD monitor with 920,000 dots for easy viewing and reviewing.</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Full HD video mode for high quality, video up to 1080p resolution with auto and manual focusing.</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Creative filters such as Fisheye, Toy Camera, Miniature, and Soft Focus</p> </li> </ul> <p><br /><br /></p> <p dir="ltr">The Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera is compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses.

<p><a href="http://www.sigmaphoto.com/">Sigma</a> has announced the release of its new Sigma Global Vision lens converter, <a href="http://www.sigmaphoto.com/mount-converter-mc-11">the Mount Converter MC 11</a>, for Sony E-mount, full frame and APS-C sensor cameras. The new MC-11, will allow Sony camera operators to utilize 19 Global Vision lenses in Sigma Canon Mount (EOS) and Sigma Mount (SA).</p> <p>The MC-11’s LED display tells Sony users if the attached Sigma lens is compatible and if the MC-11 needs to be updated for that lens. Its internal control data system stores information on each compatible Sigma lens, and automatically optimizes performance of AF drive, aperture control and other critical lens functions. The Sigma MC-11 converter can be updated with the latest compatible lens information using the <a href="http://www.sigmaphoto.com/service-support/product-software-and-firmware-download">Sigma Optimization Pro</a> software and <a href="http://www.sigmaphoto.com/accessories/lens-customization/sigma-usb-dock">Sigma USB Dock</a> (sold separately). The internal control data system on the MC 11 also maintains continuity with camera functions that regulate brightness and correct transverse chromatic aberration, distortion, and more. Compatibility with both Sigma lens OS and Sony in-camera OS, provides correction of camera shake and other stability issues. When used with in-camera stabilization, MC-11 enables angle shake correction in the lens. The integrated flocking helps prevent internal reflections and reduction in lens performance. The MC-11 also retains relevant EXIF data so that users can analyze every detail of their lens setting. </p> <p>The Mount Converter MC 11 retails from Sigma at $249.00.
