CANON EOS 4000D TESTED IN ISSUE 140 PRICE: £299/$N/ACANON has stripped everything down to its bare
essentials for the 4000D, and it’s a great if basic
DSLR for beginners, and at only £329 (body), it’s
the cheapest new EOS DSLR. Sadly, it’s let down
by a cheap kit lens, that’s tough to tolerate, so
we suggest buying the better IS lens.Sensor 18.0Mp APS-C CMOS
Viewfinder Pentamirror, 0.8x, 95%
ISO 100-6,400 (12,800 expanded)
AF 9-point (1 cross-type)
LCD 2.7in, 230k-dot
Max burst (buffer) 3fps
Memory card SD/SDHC/SDXCCANON EOS 2000D (REBEL T7) TESTED IN ISSUE 149 PRICE: £419/$499THE 2000D is a better-spec Canon camera than
the 4000D, but comes with a step up at its RRP
current price. It’s arguably worth the extra, but
that puts it in a difficult spot, where another step
up in outlay will get you an EOS 200D, which is
a far better overall DSLR camera.Sensor 24.1Mp APS-C CMOS
Viewfinder Pentamirror, 0.8x, 95%
ISO 100-6,400 (12,800 exp)
AF 9-point (1 cross-type)

Memory card SD/SDHC/SDXCCANON EOS 250D (REBEL SL3) TESTED IN ISSUE^156 PRICE: £519/$549THE new EOS 250D/Rebel SL3 is not Canon’s
cheapest entry-level DSLR, but we think it’s the
best budget/beginner DSLR with the perfect
blend of power and value. This is the body that will
take people from snapping on their smartphones,
to getting into the hobby.Sensor 24.1Mp APS-C CMOS
Viewfinder Pentamirror, 0.87x, 95%
ISO 100-25600 (51200 expanded)

Memory card SD/SDHC/SDXCCANON EOS 800D (REBEL T7i)^ TESTED IN ISSUE^149 PRICE: £649/$899CANON has shoehorned much of the tech of the
enthusiast-level 80D into a beginner body. The
800D inherits its bigger brother’s 24Mp Dual Pixel
sensor for superior Live View autofocus, uses the
same 45-point module for viewfinder autofocus,
and betters its ISO performance.Sensor 24.2Mp, APS-C (6000x4000 pixels)
Viewfinder Pentamirror, 0.82x, 95%

What to look for
Canon EOS camerasCanon splits its EOS DSLR
lineup into entry-level,
enthusiast and professional
ranges; the 4000D is the
most basic, the 800D and 77D for intermediates,
the 80D and full-frame 6D Mk II for more advanced
enthusiasts, while the 7D, full-frame 5D and 1D lines
have pro-level features. With more expensive
models, expect greater handling, more robust build
quality (weather-sealing and magnesium-alloy
shells), more advanced features, and full-frame
rather than APS-C image sensors.
We also now have the full-frame EOS R cameras
for mirrorless fans, the EOS RP as an ‘entry-level’
and more affordable option, with the EOS R for more
serious photographers. Plus not forgetting Canon’s
compact system APS-C EOS M camera range.DSLR CAMERAS
