ur lead review this issue
reflects perhaps the most
important battleground
for digital SLRs right now:
how to entice the millions
of people who are content to use their
smartphone to take pictures into upgrading
to a ‘proper’ camera. The EOS 250D
(branded the Rebel SL3 in the US) adopts
two key tactics: making its Live View function
competitive with mirrorless cameras, which
are traditionally faster in this area; and
offering 4K video shooting, making it the
lowest-priced camera to include this.
Turn the page to find out whether Canon
has concocted the perfect starter SLR.
Elsewhere, we take a look at travel-friendly
superzooms, just in time for the summer
holidays. We’ve assembled eight lenses that
could conceivably be the only glass you need
to take on a trip, thanks to zoom ranges that
go from wide-angle to a decent telephoto
setting. But does this versatility come at the
cost of image quality? Find out on page 118.
A shoulder bag is the ideal companion
when you’re travelling light. On page 130
we provide a complete guide to how to
find your perfect partner. Rod Lawton
