Canon EOS Rebel T7i / 800D review

I could be wrong, but I don't believe that this site has EVER used the language shown in the clipping below (e.g., 'darker') from a recently posted review, describing a lens with a relatively small widest lens opening... I had to read it a few times to figure out what it was describing... Darker plastic, darker what?

In this company it's really the T7i and D5600 that do most to accommodate both the beginner user and the photographer who's already overcome that first difficult slope on the learning curve; the others, particularly the Fujifilm and Panasonic, work better if you already have a good idea of what you're trying to achieve.

One slight disappointment is the adoption of a new 'kit' zoom lens. The T7i gets bundled with the 18-55mm F4.0-5.6 STM IS. This the standard range we'd expect to see a kit zoom cover and offers fast focus and image stabilization. However, it takes the unusual step of being 1/3EV darker than most of its rivals' lenses. This isn't a big difference, and the optical performance is very impressive, but any move towards a darker lens will hold the camera back, at least a little, and represents a step in the wrong direction.
