Canon EOS Rebel T8i

The Canon T8i is a good option for landscape photography. Even when shooting at high ISO levels to compensate for poor lighting conditions, images should still be quite low in graininess. Its touchscreen interface is bright enough to be seen clearly even under direct sunlight and is quite sharp. Unfortunately, while the camera itself is comfortable to operate, it isn't especially easy to carry around for long periods, and the body isn't weather-sealed.

The Canon EOS Rebel T8i SLR offers a few improvements over the T7i, but most family photographers are better off with a mirrorless system in 2020.
