Canon EOS 250D Review

The Canon EOS 250D / Rebel SL3 is a rather modest upgrade of the 2-year-old Canon EOS 200D / Rebel SL2, principally adding 4K video recording, a much-improved Live View experience and longer battery life to justify its introduction.

Canon SL3 Review

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...

Canon EOS Rebel SL3 review

The Canon EOS Rebel SL3 is not Canon's cheapest DSLR, but it's still the best for beginners

Very light and compact for a DSLR ; Great Live View autofocus response ; Vari-angle touchscreen ; Simple but effective controls

Only 9 AF points in viewfinder shooting ; Thicker body than mirrorless rivals ; Four-way pad quite small

There are two cheaper DSLRs in the Canon range than this one – the EOS Rebel T100 and the EOS Rebel SL7 – but we reckon this EOS Rebel SL3 is a better buy than both of them. The T100 was so cheap it was actually quite unappealing and looks as if it's...

Canon EOS Rebel SL3 Review: A DSLR for Beginners, with 4K Video

While mirrorless cameras have become increasingly popular, there's still a market for affordable, entry-level DSLRS. With the Canon ELS Rebel SL3, photographers get the basics in a tried-and-true form factor with a solid — if not overly sophisticated —...

Good image quality ; Fully articulated touchscreen ; Excellent battery life ; Easy to use ; Compact and lightweight ; 4K video

Modest number of AF points (viewfinder) ; Video limitations ; Not compatible with third-party flash units

Get the Canon EOS Rebel SL3 if you want a basic DSLR that’s small, lightweight, easy to use, takes good pictures, and has great battery life.

Canon EOS Rebel SL3 Review: A Small & Affordable DSLR to Slay Mirrorless?

The Canon EOS Rebel SL3 ($649 with the 18-55mm kit lens) is the latest in a series of compact Canon DSLRs that seem designed to compete with the size of mirrorless cameras. And while the Canon Rebel SL series has grown slightly since being introduced...

Canon EOS 250D review

Big on features yet small in size is the central thrust behind this entry-level yet fully featured compact Canon DSLR

A great intro for those just starting out ; It’s compact and relatively lightweight ; Vari-angle touch screen LCD

Plastic-y feel to body ; Slightly bulkier than mirrorless camera rivals ; Four-way directional pad at rear is small

Experienced DSLR users may find the Canon EOS 250D a little too simplistic, with its guided user interface being offered from the get-go. However, for newcomers its user-friendly handling, compact dimensions, straightforward menus, control layout and...

Canon EOS Rebel SL3 / EOS 250D review

A no-brainer for beginners?

Excellent battery life ; Great Dual Pixel CMOS AF system ; Small, light body with good handling ; Touch controls implemented well ; LCD is very responsive

Dated 9-point AF system ; Awkwardly designed power control ; 4K video crop and rolling shutter ; Not a huge upgrade ; Kit lens could be optically better

The EOS Rebel SL3 / EOS 250D blends a number of tried-and-tested features with a mount that accepts an endless array of lenses, and its small size, battery life and general performance are all solid. It's only a minor, and frankly not very exciting,...

Canon EOS 250D review: An affordable fail-safe DSLR

A camera with the potential to turn keen photographers into obsessives. Good value for money meets good usability and image quality

Great image quality ; Superb battery life ; Incredible selection of lenses

Boring video mode ; Not enough body controls

It’s a rare photographer that can’t remember their first serious DSLR, and for years Canon has played a key role in building cameras that offer the perfect blend of affordability, performance, usability and image quality. The EOS 250D continues that...
