The entry-level, Canon EOS 650D camera has paved its way into India with a new CMOS sensor that carries a Gapless Microlens array. Photography enthusiasts can get a hold of the device through the company’s official website.

This camera includes an 18MP Hybrid CMOS sensor and a Digic 5 processor that should capture finely detailed high resolution shots at 5fps. Its Autofocus system draws in 9 cross-type AF points with automatic or manual point selections in modes like AI Focus, One Shot and AI Servo. In terms of sensitivity, it offers a native 100-12800 ISO range that captures images while cutting out noise and it can be expanded up to ISO 25600 to enable filming in even extreme low-light conditions.

“The EOS 650D is a revolutionary product developed from ground up to offer unmatched performance particularly while shooting video. It is the first DSLR in the world to feature a highly intuitive and usable capacitive touchscreen interface. It is also the first EOS camera to feature a Hybrid-Sensor based AF system, allowing continuous autofocus. This particular feature when combined with the new STM lenses, allows for unbeatable performance for video shooting. With the 650D, we are targeting highly discerning users who demand professional still and motion imagery results, at the most competitive price point,” remarked Seiji Hamanishi, Assistant Director, Imaging Communication Products division, Canon India.

The camera is deployed with a 3” vari angle Clear View LCD II capacitive touch panel that enables users to easily navigate and alter settings. The display features a 1040k-dot resolution and it can be angled or tilted for better viewing via its vari angle crux. Besides, the company will roll out a pair of EF lenses that will suit the snapper. Each lens touts the STM that augments silent focusing for both shots and videos.

The Canon EOS 650D price in India is marked at Rs. 55,995 for the body and Rs. 59,995 for the entire kit.
