Released in 2020 as the EOS 850D (badged Rebel T8i in North America), this was the final entry in Canon's long-running entry-level Rebel/xxxD DSLR line, carrying a 24.1-megapixel APS-C sensor before Canon shifted its beginner-focused development entirely to mirrorless RF-mount bodies like the R50 and R100.

The 850D kept a genuine optical viewfinder and a vari-angle touchscreen, a combination the entry-level R100 that followed it into Canon's lineup notably lacks — a real reminder that Canon's shift from DSLR to mirrorless at the entry level wasn't a strict feature upgrade in every respect, since some DSLR-era conveniences were traded away in the transition. Positioned at the more affordable end of Canon's DSLR range, the 850D used a conventional 45-point autofocus system through the optical viewfinder alongside Dual Pixel autofocus in Live View, a genuinely capable combination for its beginner-to-enthusiast target audience.
Canon paired the 850D with a 45-point all cross-type autofocus system through the optical viewfinder, a genuinely capable specification for an entry-level DSLR at the time of its release.
