Built and Handling
The canon 800D is all plastic like the 750D and it does not feel as good as it should. The camera is sturdy but the finishing could have been better. It does not feel tough as the Nikon D5600 does. The grip is wide and comfortable for most users. You won't notice any major change in terms of handling. The indent to pull out the articulating screen has been moved near the viewfinder from the right. You also have a newer kit lens which is 20% smaller than the previous one but it comes with a cost. The aperture range has been changed from 3.5-5.6 to 4-5.6 . Canon has stick to the same screen. It's still one of the best touchscreen experience you can get on a camera.

Pros
● Overall image quality is impressive. Canon 800D produces beautiful images both in natural and artificial lighting. Colors are true to life and the ability to capture 14 bit RAW images gives it extended flexibility.
● Low light performance has been improved over the predecessor, thanks to the new Digic 7 image processor. Photos at night are definitely much cleaner. Focusing in dark conditions is accurate and fast except when it's pitch dark.
● The 5 axis stabilization is a great help for videos. You can expect less shake while walking or panning. It won't replace a gimbal but can help someone who doesn't have one.
● The user interface and touchscreen is a delight to use. It makes everything just so easy. You don't have to look much for a particular setting. First time users will also find this camera Easy to use.
● The focus system on Canon 800D is blazing fast. Finding focus in Live View can be a irritating job but not with Canon 800D. It was great to see an amazing auto focus system in the live view mode.
● Canon has bundled a new kit lens with this one. You have a lighter and 20% smaller lens for better portability.

Cons
● The body and built isn’t impressive. We were expecting a better finished product from canon. The body feels slightly cheap and easy to be damaged. It does not provide a sense of confidence while holding the camera.
● The fact that this camera doesn’t record 4K video left us slightly disappointed. We were expecting the new upgrade to record 4k as it would have the camera much future proof.
● At 50000 INR, the camera is priced on the costlier size. Canon could have priced it better since 750D is still a worthy camera for a much lower price tag.

Verdict
Canon 800D is a great camera for students and beginners. It can handle every situation with ease and one can easily keep it as a backup. The autofocus is fast and spot on. Image and video quality is upto the mark. The user interface and touchscreen gives user a great experience while shooting. The battery power has also been increased from last generation. Although this camera is feature packed, 750D users may still don’t want to upgrade to this considering the price difference and upgrades it offers. It is an all round camera that can take whatever you throw at it and won’t disappoint a normal user.
