Canon EOS 800D Video Review

Launched early this year, the EOS 800D is the latest entry-level DSLR from Canon and is a direct successor to the previous EOS 750D. It still carries the same 24.2-megapixel resolution but uses an improved sensor and a new DIGIC 7 image processor.

At under Php44K for the body-only, will this be a good offering for those who want a solid starter camera? We find out.
