1 The 850D’s battery is good for taking 800 shots using the viewfinder; this drops to just 370 shots in Live View.
2 The built-in pop-up flash has a guide number of 12 at ISO 100, which isn’t bad by today’s standards.
3 The 850D is available body-only, or with Canon’s decent EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM kit lens, which gives you a versatile focal range.
We’ve been waiting to test the Canon EOS 850D since it was first announced in February 2020. The global pandemic meant worldwide supplies came to a grinding halt; however, while we still wrestle with weekly challenges and evolving restrictions, Canon has been able to finally release the EOS 850D.
