Canon EOS 2000D DSLR Camera and EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS

Arrived on time and well packaged. The item was as described by seller (returned with minor damage to box – camera/contents as new). Really happy to get what I’d been after for less money and would definitely recommend!

Brand new camera, absolutely amazing comes with battery and battery charger. Not a single complaint I highly recommend, amazing for beginners and professionals. If you are thinking about purchasing I say go for it with no doubt about i

I bought the EOS 2000 to replace my 12 year old EOS1000 and I’m not disappointed, controls are all familiar and simple to use with the addition of wi-fi and a super 24 megapixels giving great quality pictures especially in low light. Delivery from Amazon was next day so very happy.

Having had experience, in my younger days, of manual SLR’s I thought I’d give photography another go and maybe try harder this time at being creative. I did a few days research before deciding to give the Canon EOS 2000D a try. It appeared to have all the features, I thought, I needed at a reasonable price and I knew Canon usually turned out a solid piece of kit. So far, I’ve not been disappointed. The build quality is very good and it’s one of those ergonomic designs you just can’t stop looking at. That may sound weird to some but, when I’ve just purchased something I’m going to be using for few years, I want to enjoy handling it as much as creating some nice images. This Model is regularly described as “Entry Level” and a “Good starting point for DSLR’s” frankly, I disagree. Yes you can start to point and shoot straight out of the box but this piece of Kit can definitely grow with you to the point where I, personally, don’t really see myself venturing far beyond.
Just a couple of tips before you buy.
1. Do research which Canon models have an Image Stabilizing lens(IS) as standard. You’d be surprised at the number of sellers who fail to make this clear in listings. You may end up spending more than you need if you don’t do this.
2. Do invest in The “Dummies” guide which you can also purchase on Amazon. The Camera only comes with the bare minimum of setup details and there is no way you will fully understand all the buttons, setup screens and huge amount of features without sitting down with this guide/manual and taking the voyage of discovery at your own pace.

The basic EOS 2000D is light but feels solid enough, my only gripe is the noise when taking shots but that aside I am more than happy with it. My reference is the EOS 100D as used in school.

Using the various Shutter and Aperture controls my photos look great which is what I hoped for.
The battery life appears to go on forever but I’ve yet to do an all night photo shoot.

Wearing glasses is no issue when looking through the viewfinder and using the adjuster wheel, this make life so much easier than looking at the back screen.

Although the reviews I’ve read put it down due to using an older image processor as an amature and for the price I have no complaints in this area.

Great camera for starting out but do not buy from this seller. Did not inform that bag and card would be arriving separately and the bag is totally different from what is pictured. Beware on that front. They’ve also inflated there prices for Christmas.

First things first, my first mistake was not checking my basket, I bought two of these, second mistake well more of an issue, first set of cameras were left of my doorstep and were ultimately stolen and after numerous calls and chat messages they were replaced even though I said I only wanted one of them replaced but they still sent me two, I spoke to them again concerning this and they said don’t worry keep the 2nd camera for free and I had to speak to 3 people to explain no it has been paid for….. NOT HAPPY… Finally after 4 cameras 2 stolen 2 finally delivered after taking a day go work and then having to return the extra camera I was finally happy as I had a camera I wanted. The camera overall is amazing for beginners and the interchangeable lenses are amazing, I have bought more lenses, Not from Amazon as Id worry I wouldn’t get them. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE CAMERA if you are a newbie photography fan. Also on a side not I walked past my neighbours today and they had an amazon delivery placed under there door mat, wouldn’t have been bad if the box was small but the box was quite big so looked like the mat was levitating.

Impressed with this camera, which allows you to happy snap to your heart’s content with the “intelligent auto” setting if you’re not in the mood for effort, or to get a professional-grade result with a few seconds for setting up, using the many options provided or going for entirely manual control. It’s a big camera, but is thoughtfully designed to make it easy to hold, and as a left-hander who struggles with camera controls I must say it’s the easiest one to hold and operate the buttons on that I’ve ever used. Where it is let down sadly is by the Canon Connect software, which connects the camera for picture transfer via WiFi, but to Android or iOs devices only. One selling point for me was that the camera can take photos in both jpg and RAW format, RAW giving a higher quality picture that can be post-processed on a computer to enhance it or bring out detail. Unfortunately Android devices will not store RAW images sent over WiFi, and they are converted into jpgs. So, if you want to use RAW format and all the advantages it gives, you will need to spend extra to get a USB connector to attach the camera to your desktop or laptop. This seems a bit shortsighted on Canon’s part, as I think that most people buying this type of camera would want to use RAW format, if only to try it out.

I was looking to buy an entry level DSLR and this one fits the bill, easy to use, light and versatile and I can finally do justice to the fantastic scenery up in the Lakes. I particularly like the metal lens mount rather than the plastic one on the 4000D which should be far more robust.
The only problem is the manual which comes with the camera which is almost useless so I took the advice of other reviewers and bought The Canon 2000D / Rebel T7 user manual which gives you all of the info that should be in the manual which comes with the camera.
