Thanks to popular YouTubers like Casey Neistat, vlogging is more popular than ever.
With its three new cameras -- the EOS M6, EOS T7i and EOS 77D -- Canon's fully embracing the vlogging movement with open arms.

There aren't any official requirements, but unofficially, you want a camera with a touchscreen that flips out to face you so that you can see what's in your shot, an autofocus system that's super fast to focus on faces and subjects, plenty of dials and buttons for adjusting essential camera settings (i.e. exposure, color temperature and aperture), and a lens system with a library of nice glass.
Canon's trio of new cameras fit all of the above -- and take great photos, too. They also break down nicely into essentially three tiers if you can't decide which one might be right for you.
Take Canon's best mirrorless camera, the EOS M5, (which is basically a way smaller EOS 80D) and remove the built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF), change the direction the touchscreen flips (up instead of down) and slash the price (of the body) by $320 and the EOS M6 is what you get.
Lots of dials for adjusting camera settings!Credit: canonSure, you could go full Neistat and haul around a EOS 80D on a Joby GorillaPod like a boss, but maybe your scrawny arms can't handle that kind of heavy setup yet.
Not to worry because the EOS M6 packs just as much punch. The camera's powered by a Digic 7 image processor and has a 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor, 7 frames per second continuous shooting, full HD video at 60p (for that extra realistic aesthetic), 5-axis in-body image stabilization and some of the most satisfying knurled metal dials you'll ever find on a mirrorless camera. The camera also comes with Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth -- because dude,it's 2017.

You can buy an optional electronic viewfinder (2.36 million dot resolution) and clip it to the top of the camera.Credit: canonAvailable in April, the camera costs $780 for just the body, $800 with an EF-M 15-45mm/f.3.5-6.3 IS STM zoom lens, and $1,280 with an EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens. If you really need an electronic viewfinder, you can pick up the EVF-DC2 with 2.36 million dot resolution sold separately You also get two color choices: black or silver.
Repeat after me: DSLRs are not dead. I feel like I have to keep reminding people that DSLRs aren't dead and they won't be dying anytime soon even though mirrorless cameras are all the rage now.
DSLRs will always be bigger and heavier, but those are strengths that make them versatile.

Credit: canonOn the lower end of the Canon DSLR spectrum is the EOS T7i, a replacement for the EOS T6i that's been around since 2015. On the upper level is the EOS 77D, which won't replace any existing camera and will be sold alongside the 80D.
Both cameras have virtually the same features, including a 24.2-megapixel CMOS APS-C sensor, Digic 7 image processor, ISO 100-25600, 45-point cross-type autofocus system, Dual Pixel CMOS AF with phase detection, electronic stabilization for video recording, full HD video capture at 1080p at 30p or 60p, HDR video capture at 1080p resolution, timelapse recording, and 6 fps continuous shooting.
Canon's EOS T7i is less rugged compared to the EOS 77D.Credit: canonThe two DSLRs also have the same 3-inch vari-angle touchscreen the flips out to the side and built-in Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth.
With so much in common, why would anyone pay more for the larger and heavier 77D ($900 for body-only; $1,050 with EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens; $1,500 with EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens) over the T7i ($750 body only; $900 with EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens; $1,300 with EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens)?
One big difference between the EOS 77D (pictured) and the T7i: an LCD panel on the top for monitoring camera settings.Credit: canonGood question. For most people the T7i will more than suffice. The 77D offers a few extras like a more rugged and weather-sealed body, a 7650-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor, anti-flicker recording mode to combat light flickering, and an LCD display on the top of the camera.
If the EOS M6 is just too small for your photographic needs, you really can't go wrong with either the T7i or the 77D. Both will be available in April.
