Experts' Opinion / Reviews
With an upgraded sensor over its predecessor, Canon Rebel T7 (2000D) now has a high-res 24-megapixel sensor that produces great images with good detail & color reproduction. It is also a very easy to use camera with a simple & logical control layout and has a decent battery life of up to 500 shots.
Although it has a great sensor, the T7 has an old image processor and a dated AF system with a slow burst speed of 3 fps. Its live view AF is sluggish and the LCD display is fixed with no-touchscreen. And while recording video, there is no autofocus and 1080p goes only up to 30p.
Overall, Canon T7 (2000D) is a good choice for anyone looking for an affordable entry-level DSLR and wants a Canon. If not, Nikon’s D3500 is a better choice.

Canon EOS 2000D / Rebel T7 review
The Canon EOS 2000D / Rebel T7 provides one of the most affordable pathways to serious photography for beginners on a budget. Interchangeable lenses, a 24 Megapixel APSC sensor, an optical viewfinder and a good LCD screen don’t come much cheaper than this. Unless of course you’re talking about the earlier EOS 1300D / Rebel T6 which is the same bar a lower resolution 18 Megapixel sensor and currently incredibly good value for money.
Canon EOS Rebel T7 / EOS 2000D review
With the only real difference over the EOS Rebel T6 / EOS 1300D being the upgrade of the sensor from 18MP to 24.1MP, it’s hard to get excited about the EOS Rebel T7 / EOS 2000D / EOS 1500D. If there was an uprated AF system with Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF and touchscreen control, along with beginner-friendly graphical interface, the new camera would be much more appealing proposition.

Canon’s EOS Rebel T7 SLR camera features an upgraded image sensor, but is still way behind the curve in other areas.
Canon EOS 2000D Review
This beginner DSLR is a decent option for a first-time buyer, but is far from the only, or best, model on the market.

The EOS 2000D is a safe choice for beginners on a budget, but rivals make it look outdated in some key areas
Canon EOS 2000D Review
Ultimately, the Canon EOS 2000D feels like a box-ticking exercise that fails to tick enough of the right boxes, seemingly being released mainly to replace an aging model and give retailers something new to promote. The Nikon D3400 is our entry-level DSLR camera of choice, or failing that a discounted EOS 1300D if you can still find one, as the new Canon EOS 2000D offers virtually no new features or performance to justify its release.
Canon EOS 2000D / EOS Rebel T7 Review
As an entry-level model, the 2000D doesn’t have ground-breaking technology, the most robust build or an especially extensive specification list, but it has beginner-friendly exposure modes as well as more advanced options that let you take control when you become more confident.
It’s a competent entry-level DSLR that produces good quality results without offering anything really enticing.
Canon EOS 2000D Review
The Canon EOS 2000D is this year’s update to the 1300D, and it’s beginning to look seriously out of date compared to the competition, in almost every way.

The 24-megapixel Canon EOS Rebel T7 is a solid entry-level DSLR at an affordable price.
