Review: A quality DSLR that is not just for beginners. Just make
sure you check the lens for (IS II) - 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, desertcart 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 desertcart 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.
Review: Ideal starter camera - As a newby to cameras the quality
in pics is incredible and auto focus setting is great with other
focus settings to . A few lenses help for different settings and
a couple more batteries are always useful. At a reasonable price
it is worth every penny
