CANON EOS 4000D
TESTED IN ISSUE 140 PRICE: £300/$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 £300 (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.

CANON EOS 2000D (REBEL T7)
TESTED IN ISSUE 149 PRICE with 18-55mm kit lens: £329/$400
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.
