What to look for
Canon EOS camera ranges
Canon splits its EOS range into mirrorless cameras and DSLRs. Its older DSLR line-up includes beginner, enthusiast and pro ranges; the EOS 4000D is the most basic, the 850D for intermediates, the 90D and full-frame 6D Mk II for advanced enthusiasts, and the full-frame pro-level 5D and 1D lines. Over the page are the two EOS mirrorless ranges: Canon’s smaller, older APS-C EOS M cameras, and Canon’s EOS R System APS-C and full-frame cameras that offer the very latest digital technology. The APS-C crop-sensor EOS R50, R10 and R7 are smaller, affordable entry-level options. While the EOS R8 up to the R6 Mark II, R5 and flagship R3 are full-frame for serious enthusiasts to professionals. Canon’s EOS R cameras are packed with intelligent features and most have IBIS, new AF tracking for any moving subject you shoot, and 20fps to 40fps continuous shooting bursts are common place using the speedy electronic shutter modes.

CANON EOS 4000D
TESTED IN ISSUE 140 PRICE: £370/$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 £370 (body), it’s the cheapest 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.
