The Canon EOS Rebel T7, also called the EOS 2000D and KISS X90 in certain locales, is another iteration in Canon's long and mature line of ultra-popular entry-level DSLR cameras. As expected, each Rebel successor is better than the previous model it (eventually) replaces and the upgrade list for the Rebel T7 is short – singular.

Canon EOS 200D is a compact and lightweight DSLR houses a 24 MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 7 Image Processor creates sharp, vivid images up to ISO 25600.
Canon has a long history of delivering ground-breaking and successful DSLRs for photographers of all levels. The beginners' sector of the market is one of the most important – once a photographer has invested in a system and added a number of lenses and accessories, it's more than likely that they'll stick to the brand rather than trading everything in later to move to a rival.Along with the recently-launched EOS 2000D on test here, Canon's current line-up includes four other entry-level models, the 18-megapixel (£300) and (£369), and the 24.2-megapixel (£559) and (£579). The range of features of these four models aren't too dissimilar, with the main differences being the size, build quality and control layout. So what has the EOS 2000D, which will replace the EOS 1300D in the range, got to offer?Not what you're looking for? Then check out our guides to Or grab a bargain with our pick of the Canon EOS 2000D review: SpecificationsWell, in truth, it has pretty much the same specification as the EOS 1300D, bar the replacement of its 18-megapixel CMOS sensor with the 24.1-megapixel sensor found in the EOS 750D. While modest updates of existing models is a tried-and-tested approach by all manufacturers to rejuvenate the range, I have to say it's disappointing that little else has been applied to the EOS 2000D to improve and update on the EOS 1300D.READ NEXT: Canon EOS 2000D review: Design and layoutThe body of the EOS 2000D looks identical to the EOS 1300D and is very compact, well rounded and lightweight. It feels very plastic to the touch but well made regardless, with a chunky rubberised handgrip that provides for a secure hold.The clean control layout follows Canon's tried-and-tested format, with the main exposure dial on the right side of the top-plate, along with the on/off switch, flash pop-up button, input dial and shutter release button.
On the rear to the right of the LCD monitor are the other main controls, including a four-way dial, nicely arranged to aid operation for beginners. The LCD monitor is what you'd expect from a budget model – bright and clear with a sharp screen but lacking the high resolution, touchscreen or tilting facility you'd find on more expensive models.The viewfinder display is equally competent without offering anything above the norm.
If you're used to mid-range models you'll find it quite small to look through but first-timers will find it adequate for their needs, with a sharp screen and useful level of exposure information provided in green along the bottom. £279.00A key selling point of entry-level models is ease of use and this is where the EOS 2000D scores highly – the colour-coded menu system and well labelled buttons, along with the shortcuts to functions offered by the Q button ensures users will be able to find and change settings with ease.
Sure, it lacks the help guide found on some newer models but that's not such a big deal. Canon EOS 2000D review: FeaturesThe range of features on offer on the Canon are adequate for beginners but some areas seem somewhat outdated already. While the resolution is excellent, it's an older CMOS sensor rather than the newer type found on the likes of the EOS 800D.The choice of processor isn't exactly inspiring either, with the EOS 2000D using the DIGIC 4+ used in the EOS 1300D – bear in mind the mirrorless EOS M50 launched at a similar time to this model boasts the latest-generation DIGIC 8. This lack of processing power means a pedestrian continuous shooting rate of three frames-per-second, and a rather limited sensitivity range of ISO 100-6400 (expandable to ISO 12800). Video recording is at Full HD (1080p).Another area that meets only the basic requirements is the AF system, which features only nine AF points in a diamond array. Canon's excellent Dual Pixel CMOS AF system that gives responsive LiveView AF is missing, which is a shame, so you are left with an adequate but basic AF set-up.
It's responsive and good for general shooting, which is what most beginners will want, but compared to its rivals, it's outdated. £279.00The metering system is based on the older 63-zone dual-layer sensor rather than the newer 7,560-pixel RGB+IR sensor but that's not such a major issue, as the Evaluative patterns is proven to be a consistent performer, with Partial and centre-weighted metering modes as options if required.One area that's well covered is exposure modes, with a full set of Scene modes supporting program, manual, aperture- and shutter-priority modes. Flash modes are well catered for, with first- and second-curtain sync and flash exposure compensation. Along with a choice of Picture Styles (Portrait, Landscape etc) there is a choice of five creative filters (grainy B&W, soft focus, toy camera, miniature effect and fish-eye) that can be applied to JPEGs post-capture, allowing novices to experiment a little with in-camera editing.Wi-Fi (and NFC) are featured on the EOS 2000D, allowing the camera to be linked to smartphones or tablets for transferring images, as well as for printing wirelessly. Canon EOS 2000D review: PerformanceAs mentioned, the EOS 2000D is basically an EOS 1300D with upgraded sensor, so there are no surprises in its performance.The AF is responsive in general use but lack of coverage across the frame means you'll often have to focus and recompose for off-centre subjects, while it struggles to track moving subjects.
