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.
PROS:
- Through-the-lens optical viewfinder is crisp and lag-free
- Good ergonomics and solid build
- Compatible with a vast range of Canon EF and EF-S lenses and accessories
- Excellent battery life (if you stick to the optical viewfinder)
- Good still image quality, albeit not as good as some newer models
- Fully articulating touchscreen display is very versatile
CONS:
- Relatively small, dim viewfinder, even by APS-C DSLR standards
- Wide-angle possibilities are very limited for 4K capture
- No PDAF and only 24fps for 4K, too
- Full HD video is prone to moiré and false color
- Less point-dense AF than mirrorless rivals
- No in-body stabilizer
- AF points for viewfinder shooting clustered near the center of the frame
- No ability to charge battery over USB
