Canon EOS 200D Body

If you are looking for your first DSLR, look no more beyond. Its a little beast that packs everything. Also if u are looking to upgrade with a tight budget this is for u.I was confused between 200d and 800d. 800d has 45 all cross type autofocus points as compared to 9 (with single cross type). Well that looks like a big difference and is a big difference if you are going for high speed action like sports or vigorously moving wild life photos. And thats it, no other significant difference.If u are a family, landscape, macro, type of photographer, 9 points is more than enough as this camera is superfast and efficient in focussing with those 9 points.Now if u want wild life also (like me), this camera can do well with its 9 point. But if you require tracking the fast moving subject, switch to live view and see the magic. This camera has dual pixel cmos autofocus which is lightning fast and smooth in focussing and tracking in live view.As of now 800d with single kit lens and 200d with 2 kit lens are priced almost same. But the big difference for me was the 55-250mm is stm kit lens that comes with 200d. Its the newer version stm lens (not the older is ii) that will cost approx 20000 rs to buy it seperately.Hands on impressions:CONS1. 9 point autofocus2. Mini usb port not micro3. No USB charging (cant use powerbank). You have to take out battery and charge with charger provided.PROS1. Light weight and compact2. Crisp images with 24mega pixels3. Guided menu4. Good battery life5. Fast and smooth focussing6. Variangle lcd with touch to focus (works awesome)7.wifi image transfer and remote live view shooting with smartphone (you can use touch to focus and change camera settings with smatphone)8. Many shooting modes including creative modes9. Full hd 60fps video10. Timelapse mode

Before this, I owned a 1300D which was my 1st DSLR and I had a great experience with that camera and highly recommend it. Unfortunately, it met with an accident and now is not in working condition anymore.If you have a budget of 44k, this is the camera you want to get. Once you have a taste of Dual Pixel CMOS AutoFocus, nothing can come close to it. I was considering the 77D as well but that camera was out of my budget so I settled for the 200D, and I don't regret my decision because I can get other useful accessories and a new lens with the money saved.Pros:-Dual Pixel CMOS AutoFocus-Super Compact-Articulating Touch Screen-DIGIC 7 image processor-WiFi NFC Bluetooth-Excellent image quality and video qualityCons:-After using the 1300D, the 200D feels noticeably smaller in the hand and perhaps less substantial to hold.-In-built flash is smaller than the more regular-sized DSLRsConclusion:If you are thinking of buying your 1st DSLR and prefer Canon and have a budget of 25k, go for the 1300D as I did. However, if you have 45k as your budget, the 200D is definitely worth it.

See, i dont want to confuse you with camera's specs but honestly speaking this camera is a beast... I purchased this camera at 45k and i got camera body, 18-55mm lens, 16gb Toshiba SD card and Camera case... I purchased it from the seller named price..perfect and they really delivered me a genuine product. This camera is very user-friendly with amazing image quality. If u wanna buy a camera for entry level photography, u should go for this one... Very light and portable... Thank you Amazon

I am writing this review after using the camera for at least 15days, Canon 200D is not just a entry level DSLR but it's more than that. Camera is good for beginners with all the required modes and settings,you can play around different modes to learn how to operate the camera and take best out of it. Picture quality is really good in all the different picture quality types like JPEG, RAW etc. Now comes videography which is really awesome, the good thing is you can record the video as per your choice and can watch in slow motion (only in same camera) it could be better if canon would have given slow motion recording as well. Battery life is good , foucus is stable and many others depends on the lens you are going to use.

It's right on the money. If someone wants to buy a DSLR for the first time or shoots videos for YouTube, etc, this is the camera to get. The best things I like about this one - Canon's amazing color science and Dual Pixel Autofocus. The latter I think is the best in the market.It's priced really well and the considering the features it's a great value for the money. There's NFC, WiFi for sharing photos, live controls from phone/tablet, has great battery life, and so much more. Yes, 4K is missing, but personally I don't care.Canon's lens selection is fantastic, so no worries there. This camera is great for photography and videography. In fact, I think this is the best video camera in this price range, period. It's light weight and has a smaller size compared to others. 200D is like a new younger brother of the famous 80D. Just go for it!

I am Mid Level Professional Photographer, I bought this as my vlog camera, and i must say its having best abilities for a entry level camera, i had used canon 600d, nikon d5300, nikon d5600, and i must say from these 200d is best , still its in competition with the d5600, the only problem because i cant take this as my main camera is because its having only 9 autofocus points which is relatively too small accordingly to nikon d5600, but its perfect for videographyEVERYTHING IS JUST WONDERFULif u have a 50k surely by this camera with the Dual Lens ,

4 Month Review recap:I would buy this again. This is a great camera to learn, grow, create, and even make a few bucks. Out of the box auto setting are great, learn to use the manual settings to get the most out of photos and video. The camera comes equipped with easy to follow guide but honestly learning the camera setting makes all the difference. Audio suck, if you plan to do video buy a shotgun mic. Light and versatile.Additional equipment in order recommended:Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens ( great lens overall specially for tight conditions, equal to 35mm on a full frame sensor),SanDisk Extreme Pro (Also have an Extreme as a back up),RODE VideoMicro (Recommend),OAproda batteries (recommend),Adobe suite (save yourself the time and hassle of the free apps, this was an unexpected but necessary and now welcome expense, lightroom classic and Premier just make life easy),K&F ND filter( helps with managing over exposure), Amazon Basics UV lens (swap when ND not in use),basic tripod,GorillaPod 3k kit (the legs are prone to pressure cracks),Wish List:323 quick release system ( swapping between GorillaPod and tripod is not fun),Portable Light Panel (Night time video and Phototelephoto Lens with image stabilization likely 70-200mmMy experience: beginnerI chose to write this to help people make an educated decision.Reasons why i would want to upgrade:Not water resistant ( makes sense that it is missing at this price point)C-log ( expansive dynamic range and wide exposure latitude- provides more data to work with in post production, only high end DSLR's currently have this option)Reasons why not to upgrade: The additional bells and whistles come at a big cost and increase in weight. The weight would reduce my ability to shoot for an extended period of time. Additionally, If the camera was worth significantly more, It would deter me from taking the camera with me on everyday adventures.Need: I wanted to learn to vlog and photograph. I would primarily be capturing footage in cramped area (soccer stadium), with a lot of chaos( drunk soccer fans), in events that would last the majority of the day (tailgate before and after match). I needed something light, versatile, with decent battery life.That could capture video and photo in a range of lighting conditions.Photo:Great quality. The tripod combined with the eos app is godly, allows you to take the photo with out causing movement. Long exposure shots is where it is at.Video:The quality is good but the missing image stabilization is noticeable. Make sure to pair this with a lens with image stabilization and quiet focus.Small and light weight, I can film most of the day without any real strain. The additional batteries were a steal and enhanced my experience exponentially. The gorilla pod helps me keep a grip on the camera and get video i would otherwise not be able to get but the plastic used is prone to cracks and so I don't trust my equipment on it anymore.Audio:Just buy a Rode mic, no need for the pro versions the quality is fine with videomicro. My audio sounded fine until it was rendered and uploaded to youtube. I experienced low audio and had to crank it up in the SL2 audio settings.Learning Curve: Point and shoot in auto everything is cake. Manual requires a little more effort but makes your photos and video much better. I suggest learning about white balance, shutter speed, aperture, iso, Raw files and post production (loaded subject). Learn, apply and repeat.

There is very little to dislike about this camera. If you're going to own a DSLR you might as well go the extra step and get the appropriate ancillary equipment to go with it. I would strongly recommend purchasing the Canon 430EXIII-RT Speedlight flash to go along with it. On the lenses, I use only three. The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS II Telephoto Zoom Lens; Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens; and the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens (also called the nifty fifty). All three of these lenses are reasonably priced, (under $600 for all three) and will give you outstanding service for photography and video as well. The 18-135mm is my go to street lens which gives me reasonably wide-angle to moderate telephoto capabilities. Now, on to the Camera itself, The articulating touch screen is particularly handy. The dual-pixel autofocus is lightning fast and accurate. Even with the Speedlight and 18-135mm lens attached the camera weighs in at 2.15 lbs. I get very little discernable noise at 6400 ISO, and literally none at 3200 ISO. I shoot 60% in the manual mode, 25% in AV, and 15% in TV modes. And I shoot in RAW 100%. If I could fault the camera anywhere it would be in the buffer. However, that is not generally a problem for me as I almost never shoot more than 3-5 frames in the continuous mode. The video quality is outstanding, and no, it doesn't record in 4K. If that's your only hangup go ahead and spend a lot more money for a camera for video that very few people can appreciate anyway. One last suggestion before I end this diatribe. One of the best landscape photographers was Ansel Adams. He shot black and white film through a box camera. It's not the camera that makes outstanding images, it's the person standing behind it. To be that person you need to fully understand your piece of equipment. I strongly recommend that you obtain the book David Busch's Canon EOS Rebel SL2/200D Guide to Digital SLR Photography. It is well worth the investment.

So far I love the camera. It is small enough to take everywhere, and I've been able to quickly learn the menu and controls in order to get the photos I want. I'm currently using the 24mm pancake prime lens with the camera which is a great match and makes the whole camera a very portable package, as well as the 50mm f1.8 prime lens. The reason for 3 stars though is that instead of receiving a new SL2 I received a previously used unit. I don't know if it had been purchased before and returned, was just an open box or display camera or what, but the packaging had been previously opened. The camera wasn't secured in the package like it should be (some internal packaging material normally found with canon products wasn't there) and had been bouncing around inside the box and the lens cap was off. The battery was by itself inside the box with the cap for the battery detached and the bag the battery came in was inside the box, but torn open. Other items (charger, etc) were not in any packaging and it looked like everything had just been tossed in the box. The camera had been previously paired to another phone as well and some of the settings changed from factory defaults. On top of that, the larger box Amazon shipped the camera in had no paper or other packaging material so the camera box was able to slide around inside the shipping box. Amazingly, the camera still looked new and works completely fine, so I plan to keep using it for now and take it on an upcoming trip which is what I purchased the camera for in the first place (wanting something that would be light weight and easy to carry around). I might have returned it right away had I not needed it for the trip, but for now will continue to use it and see how things go. While it is discouraging to receive the camera in the state that I did, it does at least increase my confidence that it will be a fairly durable camera and can take a lot of abuse which I wasn't certain about given that it has a lot more plastic than something like an 80D.

Great "Next Level" camera. This is a really great way to move up past point and shoot. One reason is ease of operation. It features a nice touch screen that tells you how to do many of the complicated things you need to know if you want a more advanced camera. The same screen doubles as a way to use touch screen photography. I had the SL 1 and it had one of the earliest best touch screens Canon had..You can flip through your pictures and enlarge the images ,just like a cell phone. Now the screen flips out, a nice improvement.The image processor is way more powerful,the Digic 7. Don't use auto ISO ,because it wants to use ISO 100. The sensor can give great pictures at hi ISO. Then you can use faster shutter speed. This means much sharper pictures ,since the faster the shutter speed,the sharper the picture . Canon cameras with the big sensors,like this and the Digic 7 processors,are the way to go for low light photography.. If you just use the automatic settings you may as well use a point and shoot camera.Some criticize the autofocus because it only has 9 points. I set it in center focus. You see a red dot when you are in focus. You don't need 71 autofocus points. You just need this one red dot in focus. Very powerful and accurate. So,I could go on and on ,but just remember. Push the ISO and use center focus. Have fun.

This is my 1st DSLR.I had my eye on Sony A6000 for 2 straight months and until i found out that Sl2 is out. Began comparing and found that the video and image quality are totally the same on both. But below are the reasons why i pulled the trigger on Sl2.- Fully articulating and touch screen! WoW! Not so on the A6000.- Most Canon lenses are way cheaper than the Sony Lenses. (Seriously, the 50mm 1.8 Sony lens is almost double the price of a Canon 50mm 1.8)- Even when the buffer is full you can still use the camera while the A6000 completely locks down until the buffer clears.- Dual Pixel auto focus.- And finally, no sensor overheating. Sony A6, A7 series still has sensor overheating issue after a certain period of video recording.I bought the 50mm f1.8 prime instead of the kit lenses.The body of Sl2 is NOT metal. It's very light and almost as compact as a mirrorless camera. Really happy with the Camera!Here are some Amature pics with normal room lighting.UPDATE 15-Jan-2018I just purchased a 3rd party battery for this camera and guess what? They work just as normal as the original battery. I didn't get any warning sign pop up message. Fantastic!!!
