Breakdown of the canon 250D Camera
The Canon EOS 250D (called the Digital Rebel SL3 in North America) is the world's lightest DSLR camera with a movable screen.
The
24.1 megapixel 250D / SL3 offers Dual Pixel CMOS Auto Focusing with a
whopping 143/3,975 AF points in live view mode and a more basic 9 AF
points when using the optical viewfinder, both working down to -4 EV and
supporting eye-detection in live view.
There's also a vari-angle LCD
screen with touchscreen capabilities, a 63-zone metering sensor, an ISO
range of 100-25,600 (expandable to 51,200), an improved guided user
interface, the latest DIGIC 8 processor, 5fps continuous shooting, up to
1,070 shot battery life (when using the optical viewfinder), and
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
The 250D's upgraded video mode now
offers 4K HD recording at 25/24p as well as Full HD recording at
60/50/30/25fps, one of the main differences between this camera and the
previous EOS 200D / SL2 model.The EOS 250D also has the same chunky
handgrip as its predecessor, around which you can comfortably fit three
average-sized fingers, with your little finger supporting the base of
the camera, which offers just enough support to use the camera with some
of the larger EF lenses that Canon offers.
In terms of build
quality, the Canon EOS 250D / SL3 certainly feels solid enough for an
entry-level DSLR, although as you'd perhaps expect not quite in the same
league as the company's semi-professional models.
And like all of
Canon's APS-C digital SLR cameras, the EOS 250D / SL3 is compatible with
the manufacturer's entire line-up of lenses, including both EF and EF-S
glass. When changing lenses, EF lenses need to be aligned with the red
dot on the lens mount, whereas EF-S lenses must be aligned with the
white square.
We tested the EOS 250D with the recent EF-S 18-55mm
f/4-5.6 IS STM lens, which offers a fairly versatile focal range and
crucially includes image stabilisation. This is important for Canon, as
competitors like Sony, Olympus and Pentax all offer image stabilisation
in their comparable cameras.
