The Canon EOS 200D is the perfect camera for those wanting to make the transition to a smaller DSLR!
Canon is having an absolute stonker of a year so far, with a plethora of new releases and the number one DSLR, CSC and full-frame cameras – the 1300D, M10 and 5D MkIV respectively.
“With plenty of new features and tech, the SL2 easily outshines its predecessor -- but not much else.”
The Canon EOS Rebel SL2 is the smallest SLR camera in the company's lineup. It boasts a modern 24MP image sensor, but its autofocus system isn't as good as the larger T7i.
Really small and light., 24MP APS-C image sensor., Dual Pixel AF in Live View., Vari-angle touch LCD., Microphone input., Guided user interface., Wi-Fi.
Dated nine-point focus system., Some focus lag in live view., Small Raw shooting buffer., Video limited to 1080p.
The Canon EOS Rebel SL2 is a very functional and portable entry-level DSLR, which is easy to fit into a camera bag (or even a large coat pocket) and use. It is clearly directed at users who may wish to learn a little more about photography.
+ Very moderate sharpening gives images a natural look, + Good dynamic range: above 10 f/stops up to ISO 800, + Consistent color and auto white balance performance up to ISO 6400, + Highly affordable for beginner and amateur photographers, + Easy video recording
- Noticeable artifacts at ISO 1600 and above, - Slowdown of recording after 10 JPEG and six Raw images in continuous mode, - No headphone jack for video recording
Bearing the distinction of the world’s lightest APS-C DSLR with a vari-angle screen, the Canon EOS 200D slots into the manufacturer’s range of DSLRs between the entry-level EOS 1300D and the more advanced EOS 760D and EOS 800D models.
World’s lightest DSLR with vari-angle screen, Fast focusing performance in Live View, Intuitive layout of buttons and dials, Guided user interface helps beginners learn the key controls and settings
Basic arrangement of 9 AF points, Single scroll dial on the top plate
If compactness matters most and you’re willing to pay a premium for it, the 200D is certainly a more powerful and desirable camera than its predecessor. It would be ideal for beginners and for travel photography.
Vari-angle touchscreen, Excellent Dual Pixel live view AF, New 18-55mm STM lens
Only 9 AF points for viewfinder shooting, You're paying for compactness, Size advantage reduced
The compact proportions of the original Rebel SL1 / 100D meant it was truly novel amongst its peers, but the slightly bulkier proportions of the EOS Rebel SL2 / EOS 200D make it feel more like a slightly pared-down Rebel T7i / 800D than anything unique.
Great Live View AF performance, Polished touchscreen interface, Easy to use, Image quality very good, User-friendly interface
9-point AF system is somewhat basic, High price – at least for now, Plasticky finish, No 4K video
This is a very good entry level DSLR. Very light weight, good for my 12-year-old child to use.
