Flicker detection
The camera can detect flickering light sources and sync up with them to shoot at peak brightness in order to avoid underexposing the image by accident.
See More
Top
Con
Dynamic range could be better
According to tests performed by DxOmark 760D has 11.96 stops of dynamic range in print and 11.16 stops on screen for images taken at 100 ISO while cameras in this price range commonly push 14 in print and 13 on screen. Dynamic range is the range of brightness that a camera can capture. Detail in parts of the scene that are outside of the camera's dynamic range will be lost.

See More
Top
Con
Poor subject tracking in live mode
Subject tracking for the camera is somewhat unreliable. It works well if the subject is well isolated from the scene, but quickly becomes unreliable in crowded scenes.
See More
Top
Pro
Reasonable continuous AF for video
760D uses 19-point cross-type autofocus and has a hybrid sensor that combines contrast detection autofocus and phase detection autofocus. For continuous AF tracking while filming the camera first approximates the focus using phase detection, then uses contrast detection to more accurately adjust the focus. It performs well with set AF points for tracking, less so using subject tracking.
See More
Top
Con
Touchscreen can't be used with regular gloves
Because the touchscreen is capacitive instead of pressure-sensitive you either have to use your fingers or special touchscreen gloves to interact with the touchscreen.
