Canon SL3/EOS 250D

Two years after the debut of its tiny SL2 DSLR, Canon has just answered some of our concerns in that camera - and pared down its manufacturing costs at the same time -- by launching the smallest and lightest EOS camera of the moment, the Canon Rebel SL3. Situated just below the T7i in Canon's current lineup, the SL3 has a slightly less-sophisticated autofocus system than its elder sibling offers, but it's still rather more advanced than that provided by the Canon T7.

Doubtless, trimming some of these features has helped Canon to save some cost in a shrinking DSLR market (and an even faster-shrinking sub-frame DSLR market). In some respects, though, they do make the Canon SL3 feel like a lesser camera than that which it replaces. That is, until you take a closer look at the spec sheet, because there are certainly some important ways in which the Canon SL3 bests its predecessor significantly.

Key among the changes are a new 24.1-megapixel image sensor and DIGIC 8 processor pairing, a combination which might not yield any higher resolution than before, but have allowed for major improvements elsewhere. For one thing, the Canon SL3 now boasts in-camera 4K video capture, answering one of our main criticisms of its predecessor. And it also promises a really significant step forward in battery life, as well.


Canon T100/EOS 4000D

The Canon EOS 4000D is Canon’s attempt to sway some of those smartphone snappers. Emphasising features such as easy social-media sharing from the built-in Wi-Fi and a sensor that’s “19x larger than a typical smartphone’s”, Canon is thrusting this budget camera in the face of the Instagram generation. It’s just a shame many of its core features feel older than the audience it’s aimed at.

The 18-megapixel EOS 4000D sits at the very bottom of Canon’s DSLR range, just below the EOS 2000D, which is a wee bit odd given Canon’s traditional naming convention, where a higher number normally means a better camera.

As you might expect, we’re not talking about a camera that’s stacked with features. The built-in Wi-Fi is close as we come to a standout feature, allowing you to transfer photos to a smartphone or tablet with relative ease or even control the camera from your phone – if you don’t want to risk shutter shake when capturing long exposures, for example.

Other than that, it’s a no-frills DSLR – and I really do mean no-frills. In fact, this camera’s core specification is dated in many respects.
