Canon is having an absolute stonker of a year so far, with a plethora of new releases and the number one DSLR, CSC and full-frame cameras – the 1300D, M10 and 5D MkIV respectively.

Canon ‘s massive popularity stems from the fact that they make great DSLR cameras for all photographers, whether you're just beginning a photography hobby or a seasoned professional with decades of experience.

The EOS 200D is Canon's new compact digital SLR that comes with a wealth of features and more importantly, produces some stunning photos and videos, ideal for budding photographers from beginners to amateurs alike.

The Canon EOS Rebel SL2 performs admirably for its class and price, thanks to a solid mix of beginner and advanced features. The Canon EOS Rebel T6 ($450 with 18-55mm lens) is cheaper, but it lacks many of the SL2's attractive features, including the fully articulated touch-screen LCD.

Compact and lightweight; Improved autofocus in Live View and Movie mode; Fully articulated LCD; Up to 5 fps continuous shooting; Feature Assistant; External microphone jack

Modest number of AF points; Small optical viewfinder; No 4K video

The Canon EOS Rebel SL2 is an entry-level digital SLR that packs a lot of Canon's latest tech into a compact, portable body. It has solid image quality, an easy-to-use interface and good wireless connectivity.

Canon has done well to squeeze some of its more advanced tech into this model, while keeping it friendly for beginners.

Canon has done well to squeeze some of its more advanced tech into this model, while keeping it friendly for beginners. There’s enough stuff here to make it a possible backup or travel model for those using some of Canon’s mid-range models, too. If you’re attracted towards DSLRs but are generally put off by their large size and bulk, this is the smallest you’re going to get. While it may not be as small and lightweight as some of the smaller mirrorless models on the market, the handling and features of a DSLR make it a nice alternative. Image quality is very good, as you’d expect from the high-quality sensor and processor combination, and by entering into Canon’s eco-system, you get a pretty-much unrivalled set of potential lenses and accessories. Overall, this is a very attractive and nicely performing model for entry-level users. It doesn't exactly set the world alight, but if you’re in the market for this kind of camera, it’s definitely a good option.
