Canon EOS 2000D DSLR Camera and EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens, Black + Canon EF-S10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Lens, Black

One of the things I like about photography as a hobby, is there is a real community spirit. Even the more professional photographers with their Canon 5D Mk IV's will stop for a chat and compliment my choice of the (much cheaper) EOS 2000D. The truth is, I don't want an electronic viewfinder, or a poseable touch screen. I bought the EOS 2000D precisely because! it is more old school. I wanted the mirror, so that I am seeing exactly what the camera is seeing. It also means the batteries last longer, as I am not having to power an electronic viewfinder, and I also like the fact that while I am changing lenses, the mirror is down, covering and protecting the image sensor. As I am far happier cleaning just the mirror than the sensor. Yes it only takes 3 shots per second in burst mode, but that is all I need. The APS-C sensor can produce prints at 6000 x 4000 resolution, and that is more than enough to print off at large format, then frame your prints and decorate your house. There is something great about getting a beautiful landscape shot, framing it and hanging it on your wall. It means that if a visitor compliments the picture, there is a whole back story, because you! took the photograph. And trust me, the EOS 2000D is more than capable of taking some truly breath-taking photographs. It is probably better suited towards landscape and portrait photography, as it starts to show it's age a little when you start capturing fast moving sporting events like motor racing, or wildlife photography. But other than that, it is a fantastic DSLR. The video capture is full HD at 1920x1080. My home projector beams at 1080p at 8ft across by 5ft high and the videos from the camera look fantastic, even at that scale. The wireless link is excellent. There are three setup memories. You can set the first up as a link to your home Wi-Fi, then link, say your iPad to your camera, via the Cannon Camera Connect app. This then lets you peruse your photos from the sofa without a cable in sight. Even delete photos if you want. You can also set up the camera to automatically back up your photos over Wi-Fi. The second memory can be used to connect directly to the camera when away from your home network. Whether you are connected at home, or directly, you can also take control of the camera functions from your phone, iPad or tablet. You can use the Live View, adjust basic settings and trigger the shutter. Granted, it is a little more long-winded than the later Bluetooth cameras, but it works well. And remember, the 2000D was only released in 2018, it is not what I would call an 'old' camera. This is highlighted by the fact that the camera has the Canon Scene Intelligent Auto PLUS mode (the green icon on the selection wheel), and will also communicate with compatible flash units via it's E-TTL enabled hot shoe. If you want a breather from the mathematics of manual shooting mode, just put the Canon into Scene Intelligent Auto PLUS mode and be impressed by the results. The fact that the camera also has flashlight communication, means the intelligent mode even works with the flash connected. In fact there is only really one thing that may make me upgrade to a full frame camera in the future, and that is the reduced field of view that a cropped sensor camera has. But you can compensate for that by lens choice. You just need to remember, that being a cropped sensor, the actual focal length you will see through the camera, is greater than the number on the lens. So for example, you will need to fit the 2000D with a 22mm lens, to see the equivalent of 35mm through the camera, but there are lots of apps and websites with focal length calculators. And if you are new to cameras, I would highly recommend your first lens purchase is the famous Canon 'nifty-fifty', otherwise known as the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM. As you will notice an instant improvement to your low light photographs. The other great thing if you decide to purchase a 2000D, is that it seems to be the default camera used for many of the photography tutorial books. That is a huge bonus, because the menu images and discussions regarding DSLR functions are usually using the 2000D, so you are not only learning about photography in general, but as a bonus, you are learning how to get the best out of your own camera. At the time of writing, Amazon sell a hardback complete photography course book, and that uses the 2000D as its teaching camera. There are also literally hundreds of videos on YouTube, that teach you how to get the best out of the 2000D. The only bit of advice I would pass on, is to caution prospective buyers that there are numerous EOS 2000D camera kits on the Amazon website and online, some cheaper than others. The difference in price is usually because the 2000D body can come fitted with the older EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, or the more modern EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II. Those last few letters (IS II) are very! important. They mean that the lens has the Canon image stabilisation system built in. You can tell by looking for the extra selector switch on the side of the lens (see the image). Get the stabilised lens kit at a good price and you are on to a winner. Highly recommended.

This is a great camera, high quality and great for a first professional camera. It is easy to use and has great features which are easy to navigate. I highly recommend for A-Level or university students doing photography as this camera allows for experimentation. Overall a fantastic product.

This is a cool camera, it has taken amazing pictures so far and it’s so fun to use, I’m constantly finding new features to experiment with and every photo turns out so cool! Would definitely recommend

Decent camera although at the bottom end of the Canon range it's good value for the money. Not to big and pretty versatile although connecting to the Canon App via NFC can be a bit hit and miss. Takes great photos anyway but use it with a prime lens will get you some outstanding results.

The Camera Book could be clearer on what extra lenses to buy, Too much flash or too little flash Spoils some images, Some Images Are Proving to be the Best, Not sure of the Movie Mode yet, Might require an extra Memory card To use, Was looking Fine, Tripod Possibly Required To stop Camera Shake, I have not found a Demo MODE yet , To tell me more on the Movie settings Featured

excellent quality and the viewfinder has optical settings for your eyesight

Having had experience, in my younger days, of manual SLR's I thought I'd give photography another go and maybe try harder this time at being creative. I did a few days research before deciding to give the Canon EOS 2000D a try. It appeared to have all the features, I thought, I needed at a reasonable price and I knew Canon usually turned out a solid piece of kit. So far, I've not been disappointed. The build quality is very good and it's one of those ergonomic designs you just can't stop looking at. That may sound weird to some but, when I've just purchased something I'm going to be using for few years, I want to enjoy handling it as much as creating some nice images. This Model is regularly described as "Entry Level" and a "Good starting point for DSLR's" frankly, I disagree. Yes you can start to point and shoot straight out of the box but this piece of Kit can definitely grow with you to the point where I, personally, don't really see myself venturing far beyond.Just a couple of tips before you buy.1. Do research which Canon models have an Image Stabilizing lens(IS) as standard. You'd be surprised at the number of sellers who fail to make this clear in listings. You may end up spending more than you need if you don't do this.2. Do invest in The "Dummies" guide which you can also purchase on Amazon. The Camera only comes with the bare minimum of setup details and there is no way you will fully understand all the buttons, setup screens and huge amount of features without sitting down with this guide/manual and taking the voyage of discovery at your own pace.

I am on a budget and I really wanted a dSLR that had okay performance and fit my budget. I started looking at Canon dSLR cameras when I found out the EF lenses from my old film SLR that I bought back in 2002 were compatible. The camera is working great and looked brand new. It even shipped in a Canon box. The only thing kind of negative I feel I should point out is the Canon 2000d is sold as the Canon Rebel T7 in the USA, so you wont easily find support as you can't register this camera on the Canon website in the USA. Otherwise, you can download the EOS Utility software and other Canon software and use it. This is a great camera!

alles prima in orde !

La estos usando para Astrofotografía y obtengo buenos resultados.

Die Kamera erfüllt voll meine Erwartungen.

La cámara en si es una maravilla pero he tenido una incidencia por parte de los transportistas, sin llamarme han decidido tirarme la cámara por el jardín siendo algo tan frágil puede que hasta no funcione. Me parece deplorable como algo que en si es un producto que dañarse con facilidad lo tiran sin ningún miramiento sin tener el cuenta ni el dinero que pagas ni nada
