  • The Canon 200D is an entry-level DSLR for beginners
  • The 200D will go on sale end of July for Rs. 47,495 with the kit lens
Canon is celebrating National Camera Day in the US, with the launch of the EOS 6D Mark II full-frame DSLR and the EOS Rebel SL2, which will be known as the EOS 200D outside the United States. The EOS 6D Mark II comes nearly five years after Canon first introduced the EOS 6D back in 2012, and the new model will go on sale in late July starting at $1,999 (roughly Rs. 1,35,900). We don’t have any India price or availability for the 6D Mark II at the moment. On the other hand, Canon India has announced that the EOS 200D is will also go on sale late July in India for Rs. 47,495 with the EF-S18-55 IS STM kit lens. It will also be available with the EF-S18-55 IS STM plus EF-S55-250 IS STM lens combo for Rs. 60,495.

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II is designed for enthusiast-level photographers in mind thanks to its full-frame sensor and brand new 26.3-megapixel CMOS sensor. Other features include a 45-point, cross-type autofocus system with Dual Pixel autofocus for live mode. The camera also uses the new DIGIC 7 image processor and boasts of an ISO 100-40000 range. It has a articulated, 3-inch touchscreen panel, continuous shooting of up to 6.5fps, built-in Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth and is dust and water resistant. Sadly, video recording still maxes out only at 1080p at 60fps, as there’s no 4K support.

The Canon EOS 200D : On the other hand, the Canon EOS 200D is an entry-level DSLR designed for beginners in mind but doesn’t skimp much on the features. It boasts of a 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, Dual Pixel autofocus, DIGIC 7 image processor, 9-point autofocus system, full-HD video recording and built-in wireless connectivity features. The big appeal of the 200D is the small and lightweight body, which should help ease smartphone photographers stepping into the world of DSLRs.

Commenting on the launch, Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A said, “In an industry where choices are abundant, providing consumers with the photographic tools that match their developing skill levels as they continue to embrace their passion for photography is a long-standing goal of Canon and stands at the core of our research and development. The new EOS 6D Mark II and EOS Rebel SL2 DSLR cameras are the result of Canon’s dedication to providing a wide range of camera choices for photographers of all skill levels, whether it’s someone taking their first picture or video with a DSLR camera or those looking to make the jump to a Full-Frame sensor camera.

Synology DiskStation DS716+II

Highlights The NAS comes with support for 4K transcoding It also includes hardware encryption support Synology DiskStation DS716+II is priced at Rs. 49,500 By now, most of our readers should be familiar with the name Synology. While the first Synology NAS unit we reviewed, the DiskStation DS215j, was a member of the J series targeted at home users, the unit we have today is part of the Plus series, with offerings for small and medium-sized businesses. This means the DS716+II comes at a premium compared to the DS215j, and this is justified not only in terms of beefed-up hardware, but the build quality as well. While the DS215j felt a little flimsy when opened, that's definitely not the case with DS716+II. The unit 1 looks really slick in black and has a metallic finish worthy of its positioning in the Synology lineup. Anyone familiar with the Synology naming scheme will recognise that the DS716+II comes with a support for a total of 7 drive bays, but...

Airtel Internet TV Review

Highlights Airtel Internet TV is built on top of the Android TV platform Netflix app and Chromecast support are built-in It is 4K ready and comes with Dolby Atmos support Airtel launched a new set-top box for its Digital TV DTH service back in April this year. The Airtel Internet TV is powered by Android TV and comes with Netflix and YouTube pre-installed, with access to thousands of other apps thanks to the Android TV ecosystem. What’s more, the box has a Chromecast built-in, eliminating the need for buying another dongle for your TV. We tested it for a couple of weeks to find out if this integrated solution is a good fit for your smart TV needs. The Airtel Internet TV set-top box is noticeably wider than Airtel’s ‘regular’ boxes, and just a little bit shorter in height. The front has LED indicators like you’d expect, but it’s devoid of any buttons, apart from the power button, which means you have nothing to fall back upon in case of a remote-re...

Highlights D2H companies are now offering smart boxes with mirroring and streaming Videocon and Airtel are some of the first companies to offer this You can stream videos and watch broadcast TV with a single box One of the significant changes in TV in recent years is that not all of it is on TV anymore. As we noted earlier, cord cutting is feasible in India now, and as Internet connections improve, this is going to become even more of a reality. That means watching some shows on broadcast TV, while others are streaming over Netflix, Hotstar, or Amazon Prime Video.If you have a Smart TV - which is to say most TVs released in the last couple of years - then you can press a button on your remote and switch over to the TV's interface, and load up your favourite apps. Otherwise, you'll need to buy a Chromecast, or an Amazon Fire TV Stick, or some other similar smart box to add this functionality to your TV. That means an extra set of wires in your house, ...
