CANON EOS 4000D TESTED IN ISSUE 140 PRICE: £299/$N/A
CANON 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 2.7-inch, 230k-dot
Max burst (buffer) 3fps
Memory card SD/SDHC/SDXC
CANON EOS 2000D (REBEL T7) TESTED IN ISSUE 149 PRICE: £419/$499
THE 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)
LCD 3-inch, 920k-dots
Max burst (buffer) 3fps
Memory card SD/SDHC/SDXC
CANON EOS 250D (REBEL SL3) TESTED IN ISSUE^153 PRICE: £599/$709
THE 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)
AF 9-point (1 cross-type)
LCD 3-inch vari-angle touch screen, 1040k
Max burst (buffer) 5fps
Memory card SD/SDHC/SDXC
CANON EOS 800D (REBEL T7i)^ TESTED IN ISSUE^149 PRICE: £649/$899
CANON 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%
ISO 100-25600 (51,200 expanded)
AF 45-point (all cross-type)
LCD 3in vari-angle touch-screen, 1040k
Max burst (buffer) 6fps (27 Raw/Unlimited JPEG)
Memory card SD/SDHC/SDXC

What to look for
Canon EOS cameras
Canon 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.
