Our Verdict

Canon EOS Rebel T8i/850D

Canon EOS Rebel T7/2000D

The Canon EOS Rebel T8i/850D is better than the Canon EOS Rebel T7/2000D. Though both use 24 MP sensors, the T8i is newer, with a better processor, resulting in better overall image quality. It also has a more advanced and effective autofocus system, along with extra features like a vari-angle touchscreen and 4k video capability.
