Digital Photographer - UK (2020-01)

FEATURES

It’s a shame about the

crop in 4K video mode as

otherwise the 250D has an

attractive feature set

BUILD QUALITY

An entry-level camera is

never going to be the most

robust, but the 250D feels

well made

QUALITY OF

RESULTS

Both focussing systems

prove fast and accurate,

while the colour and

exposure are very good

HANDLING

The vari-angle touchscreen

is a big plus, but it would

be nice to have a second

control dial

VALUE FOR MONEY

If you’re keen to go for

a DSLR rather than a

mirrorless camera, the

250D is good value
