The EOS 4000D is the least expensive DSLR in Canon's line-up and one of the cheapest routes into ‘serious' photography for beginners, students, and anyone else who wants to go further with their photography than a phone will allow.

The Canon EOS Rebel T100 / EOS 4000D really does feel like a camera that's been designed and built to a budget imposed by especially parsimonious accountants. With most of the camera made up of components from the parts bin for long-superseded Canon DSLRS, there really is nothing much to recommend...

Easy to use; Logically laid-out controls; Decent battery life; Low price

Dated 9-point AF; Small and low-resolution screen; Only 3fps burst shooting; Plastic finish and lens mount; No touchscreen

Aimed squarely at those who would like a DSLR, but are on a super-strict budget, the 4000D is the most basic DSLR in Canon's EOS line-up. As it stands, you can pick up the older 1300D at a cheaper price, but whether Canon will keep that in the line-up too much longer remains to be seen.

Simple to use; Cheap; Inbuilt Wi-Fi

Low quality construction; Poor screen; Plastic lens mount; No 4K video

Canon is hoping the EOS 4000D will spark the joy of DSLR photography into smartphone snappers. I'm not so sure.

Takes good quality photos

Low-resolution LCD display is horribly cramped; Sluggish autofocus and burst rate; No touchscreen

The Canon EOS 4000D (also known as the Digital Rebel T100 in North America) is Canon's cheapest ever DSLR camera and is aimed squarely at first-time interchangeable lens camera buyers.

I read a lot of bad reviews about this camera but they must have been written by someone who has an expensive camera, this camera is sold as a beginners camera, it does exactly what it says it will and I'm extremely happy with it, love the WiFi connectivity to my iPhone , great pictures

I haven't owned a professional camera before but this was so easy to to use! The quality of pictures are great and I love that you can connect to wifi and download straight onto your phone! Totally recommend!

After a long gap decided to reignite my interest in photography. I didn't want to spend huge sums. This is a great camera easy to get the hang of and I have gotten some great images. However the instructions were a bit sparse for a beginner and so I bought a more detailed manual on eBay for a fiver.

I bought this camera because I wanted to have a go with an internet avaible cpiece of equipment. What i got defies description, and is easily a cut above its standard.

So easy to use, guides you through the settings on screen and great quality pictures. I'm a beginner in photography and font intend to go pro or anything like that, just wanted great quality pictures for our family days out...this camera delivers that for a great price.
