Review on Canon Rebel Camera 18 55Mm 4 5 6 by Indal Kumar ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The product is faulty in some way, I definitely won't buy it again.

The main thing you need to know when buying this model is that none of the non-native flashes will work with it, and there may be compatibility problems with non-native lenses (I personally have with Sigma). But if you can somehow work with lenses, then in terms of flashes, Canon has changed the physical interface - removed the central contact on the hot shoe, and even non-automatic universal flashes do not work. And I still have an excellent Yongnuo and an old but working Sigma from the previous model. Plus, there is also a "foreign" lens . Buying a new native flash will cost such an amount that it would be much more profitable to buy a device of a higher class, but with the old hot shoe format. But who knew about such an ambush? I don’t know about the success of the fight against compatible equipment manufacturers (they will probably adapt and release new models), but Canon has already lost its loyal supporter. And this is not the first Canon camera, video camera, printer, etc. for me.

Pros
  • Good functionality, good image quality. The standard lens (STM 4-5.6 IS) turned out to be surprisingly good. Yes, it is slightly darker than previous versions, but it is remarkably sharp and focuses quickly.
Cons
  • It seemed less convenient to control (I compare it with 450D), plastic is cheaper to the touch. When shooting a video, a defect appeared - a white spot on the image. Fixed under warranty. But the main thing - Canon embarked on a vicious path of struggle with manufacturers of compatible equipment. More details - in the comments

A good budget camera, I took it to my wife, she was satisfied! Essentially the same 200d, it seems like autonomy is longer and the processor is more powerful. It probably won't affect the quality of the photo.
