Canon EOS 4000D with EF-S 18-55mm III Lens

• 18.0 megapixel APS-C sensor
• Optical viewfinder
• Full HD video recording
• 2.7-inch screen

The 4000D is designed to hook in those first-time buyers who don’t have a lot of cash to splash but are still keen to explore the world of DSLR photography. As such, the design and features are about as basic you can get.

For starters, the build quality of the 4000D is very definitely on the budget side. One of the more obvious ways that build quality has been kept cheap is with the dials and buttons – particularly the mode dial. While you’ll normally find an on/off switch surrounding most Canon DSLR mode dials, there’s no such feature here, instead you have the rather arduous task of rotating the mode dial from the “off” position into whichever shooting mode you want to use. Having to select your shooting mode every time you want to use the camera is a little tiresome, and can also result in choosing the wrong shooting mode when rotating the dial a little too quickly. Still, every little helps when it comes to cutting costs.

All of the buttons on the rear of the camera are mostly familiar to Canon users, but instead of having their functions directly printed onto the button itself, labels are printed onto the body of the camera instead. This presumably means that Canon can insert generic buttons here, again keeping the cost to a minimum. The buttons are laid out sensibly as a whole, giving you direct access to certain functions, such as ISO, drive mode, white balance and so on.
