Getting to know the camera

Get price Canon EOS 2000D At the end of February 2018, Canon released two new entry-level SLR cameras - the EOS 2000D and EOS 4000D . These models are aimed at obtaining high-quality images without any work and quick publication of the footage on the Web. And both have a very low cost for SLR cameras.
Canon EOS 2000D / EF-S 10-18mm f / 4.5-5.6 IS STM Settings: ISO 100, F9, 1/80 s, 18.0 mm equiv.
Earlier, we tested the youngest model in the updated line of entry-level SLR cameras - Canon EOS 4000D, which replaced the Canon EOS 1300D. Now it's time to get to know the 2000D. This camera differs from the 4000D in a higher resolution image sensor - 24.1 megapixels instead of 18 megapixels, the presence of a wireless NFC module and some other interesting features. Shooting a Canon EOS 2000D is as easy as shooting a smartphone or compact camera. Moreover, it has a number of significant advantages over the latter. Among them: the ability to receive higher quality images due to the large CMOS sensor with a size of 22.3x14.9 mm; compatibility with interchangeable lenses for full-frame and “cropped” Canon cameras and with external flashes, the presence of manual settings for creative thoughtful work, while being affordable and easy to use.

Appearance and specifications

Externally and in terms of performance, the Canon EOS 2000D is a more advanced version of the 4000D. It has the same matte plastic case with rubberized inserts, the same as the younger model, the DIGIC 4+ processor and the same burst speed. But at the same time, there are some important differences between them in technical specifications and a set of buttons, connectors, functions and shooting modes:

It is very comfortable to work with the Canon EOS 2000D camera: it is small (129.0 x 101.3 x 77.6 mm), lightweight (475 g without a lens) and equipped with a comfortable grip. This DSLR is practically not felt either on the neck or in the bag, which allows you to walk with it for at least a whole day and not feel too tired. Another plus of this SLR camera is its convenient control: all buttons can be reached with your thumb without any problems. Viewfinder Canon EOS 2000D belongs to the class of optical with a pentazerkal. Such viewfinders are in all Canon entry-level and mid-range SLR cameras. When sighted, it does not display the final shooting result as electronic, but it has some advantages over the latter. So, through it you can build a frame, even without turning on the camera, and it does not consume the precious energy of the battery, which is important for long shoots, for example, traveling or for hours-long events. It is convenient to use it, although it is not too large in this model. The viewfinder enlargement is 0.8x, and the frame area coverage is 95%. Unlike the Canon EOS 4000D, there is the ability to enter diopter correction. The future frame can be built in Live View on a rigidly built-in LCD with a diagonal of 3 inches and a resolution of about 920 thousand pixels. It is turned on by a special button next to the viewfinder. She also starts video recording in the corresponding mode. The screen does not have touch control, so you can set the shooting parameters and navigate the menu using the buttons on the back of the EOS 2000D. The viewing angle of the display is sufficient for comfortable shooting from both the bottom and top points: the image is visible at almost any angle. The buttons on the rear panel are enough to get quick access to the main shooting settings. So, for example, in the shooting mode, using the navigation buttons, you can select the white balance setting, the sensitivity value, the autofocus mode, as well as configure single or continuous shooting, the self-timer. ????? ?? ???? ?????? ??? ??????? ? ???????? ????, ? ??????? ??? ????????? ???? ? ?????, ??? ???????? ?????? ??????, ??????????????? ?????? ??? ?????????. ???? ?? ???????

The camera is turned on by a special lever under the shooting mode dial, which is located on the top panel of the camera. There is also a button for raising the built-in flash, a button for releasing the shutter, a control wheel (shutter speed, aperture, etc., in accordance with the shooting mode). A built-in flash and a hot shoe connector for connecting external flashes are located above the lens. It does not have a central sync contact, which will negatively affect the work with non-original accessories, up to studio radio synchronizers.
The battery and memory compartments are under a common cover on the bottom of the camera. A tripod socket is located on the axis of the lens.
USB for connecting to a computer, mini-HDMI video output, as well as a 3.5 mm jack for connecting a remote control (another difference from the EOS 4000D, where there was no such jack) are hidden under a flap on the left side of the case.
The main menu of the camera is well thought out. It is divided into several tabs: for setting shooting parameters, viewing mode and general settings. Depending on the selected shooting mode, the number of tabs varies. The logic of organizing the menu is clear, finding the right item is not difficult.
