If you still prefer DSLRs to mirrorless cameras, the dinky EOS Rebel T8i / 850D is a capable camera with excellent autofocus and a vari-angle touchscreen. It also produces lovely images.

Quick, reliable autofocus, Decent vari-angle touchscreen, Lovely form factor, Excellent battery life, Good image quality

Small viewfinder display, Plasticky build, 4K video limitations, Modest upgrade from EOS 800D

Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

Putting aside the limitations imposed upon its 4K video capability, the Canon EOS Rebel T8i / EOS 850D is a potentially attractive sub-£850/$750 DSLR. Its build is very plasticky and it doesn’t feel very robust, but it’s lightweight and easy to carry with a good control arrangement and excellent...

Excellent AF systems, Vari-angle-touchscreen, Compatible with a huge range of lenses and accessories

Lightweight but feels very plasticky and not robust, Crop applied to 4K video, Mirrorless rivals offer more for the money

The iPhone 14 comes to market with the same launch price as the previous generation. At the same time, iPhone connoisseurs were more than disillusioned after the presentation of the new smartphone. Apple leaves large parts of the hardware unchanged and does not dare to change the design.

Top performance level despite last year's chip, Very high quality workmanship, Improved image and video quality, Excellent battery life

Hardly any innovations, Charging takes too long for 2022

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

Compared to cheaper Canon and Nikon DSLRs, the Canon EOS 850D offers a better specification with quicker continuous shooting at 7/7.5fps, as well as more focus points, and 4K UHD video recording.

Wide EF/EF-S lens range, Improved continuous shooting speed (7/7.5fps), Improved battery life (800 shots), Second command wheel added, Great image quality and colour reproduction, 45 AF points

Strong crop with 4K video and digital IS, Price is a little high (compared to 250D), Doesn't match features/specifications of mirrorless cameras

The Canon EOS Rebel T8i is well-built with comfortable ergonomics and provides solid image quality for users that prefer an optical viewfinder. Unfortunately, its video capabilities aren't that impressive, and the viewfinder autofocus system is a little basic compared to what you get on mirrorless...

Amateur photographers looking for a solid camera to learn and grow with, users looking for a fairly compact camera with an optical viewfinder.

Photographers that want the best autofocus and exposure performance through the viewfinder, users that are looking for good 4K video and those looking for even more compact options.

The Canon EOS 850D / Rebel T8i is a well-featured mid-range DSLR that sits at the top of the triple-digit EOS or Rebel series. It delivers a comfortable step-up in features and handling over the cheaper entry-level models, making it a good choice for anyone who wants a decent DSLR without breaking...

The Apple iPhone 14 isn’t a huge upgrade on the iPhone 13, yet it still is a great phone with a top camera, good battery life and all the iOS benefits.

Clever safety features, Very good battery life, Reliable camera, Fun colours, You’ve got an ageing iPhone: If you’re on an iPhone 11 or older, then the changes here will make a notable difference.

Stuck on a 60Hz display, Minimal differences to the iPhone 13, You’ve got an iPhone 13: The changes from Apple’s previous phone aren’t enough to warrant an upgrade this year.
