Great value for money, one of the best offers.

Today (beginning of 2022) the best choice from Canon's entry-level DSLRs. And in general, any, to be honest. It makes no sense to take fullframe DSLRs already, at the same price as R / RP. Cropped 800-850 are more expensive, but they can do the same; I don’t understand two-digit ones at all, who needs them - it’s expensive, it’s easier to take a full frame or an awesome 7D2 if you need a crop. 200 and 250D remain, and crazy four-digit series) The 250D was removed from the central contact in the shoe - immediately into the trash, by and large, only 200D remains from modern crop-reflex cameras for adequate money. Used for two years in parallel RP, 5D, old 650 and 450, as well as crop sleepers. As a result, I sold it, leaving myself the Sony 6500 as the main camera on the crop. Compared to it, the budget 200D has a much better screen, ergonomics and grip. But the 6500 is of course a completely different story . 200D is forever in my heart, so I decided to even write a review. Surprisingly balanced and pleasant camera, which almost did not infuriate (but everything usually infuriates me))

Pros

Size, ergonomics, grip, familiar and understandable form factor. Autofocus, especially in live view. This is practically a hybrid - DSLRs and mirrorless cameras with pluses from both worlds. Good non-soapy HD video with normal sound. Compared to the 250D, the hot shoe is not damaged. You can use cheap non-native batteries from aliexpress. They are suitable for RP. 18-55 stm lens is the best of all whales, macro, stable . but *

Cons

Management is spoiled compared to the ideal 450D-650D for me. Everything through Q type, like on cropped nikons :) The colors are slightly worse than on the old matrices. According to dd and noise, as there was a typical canon crop, it remained so. Nothing fundamentally improved. Only for a photo through the viewfinder, you can take a much cheaper used 600-650y calmly and it will be the same. *. but still not very sharp. It is better to use 18-135.
