Design and Build of Canon EOS 200D

In terms of design and build, the Canon EOS 200D has solid plastic body with good grip compared to its predecessor. There is absolutely no difficulty fitting your tree fingers on the grip while keeping your little finger to support the base of the camera. Even if a bigger EF lens is mounted with the camera there is no issue to take hold of it.

The camera offers touchscreen control that lets you play around with different touch functionality such as selecting shooting modes, setting change, face tracking, autofocus point selection and so on. You will also have option to move from one image to another with swiping.

The built-in NFC technology with the EOS 200D is very useful when you want to quickly transfer your images to your smartphone or compatible devices. Built-in GPS system has always been sought after feature with smart device. This DSLR brings this feature and you done with tagging your images with GPS data using the built-in connectivity. However, these features would have little more power consumption.

The user friendly graphical interface is really impressive. It will have long lasting appealing impression on users, especially on those who are novice to digital photography. The Guided User interface with the EOS 200D gives an indication how changing settings would result in the final image. If you change the aperture, it will indicate that shooting at wider aperture is good for blurred background.

For the selfie lover, the camera is a perfect device. Using the Canon EOS 200D, you can get beautiful selfies with a single touch on the touch control menu. When the camera is in selfie mode, it does automatic setting of effects like background defocus, brightness, smooth skin etc. are automatically adjusted.

As we talked about a better grip safe handling and control, the overlaid grain-finish gives it premium look. With the help of Q button you have option to increase or decrease shutter speed, adjust exposure meter, drive mode, focus position and so on from touch control screen.

There are number of buttons in the form of letters and icons in the mode dial at top, like ‘P’ refers to Auto,  ‘Tv’ refers to Shutter Priority, ‘Av’ refers to Aperture Priority and ‘M’ refers to Manual mode. Although there is fully automatic scene intelligent auto mode, you can use creative auto mode to change settings for aperture compensation, background, etc.

Overall, the Canon EOS 200D comes with solid and compact design. All button placement is done beautifully. You will not need to work hard to find these buttons. These are easily accessible and touch control feature works great for changing various settings when shooting. By study of Canon EOS 200D Review, we believe it is much easier for you to choose the one that you really are looking for.

Performance of Canon EOS 200D

In connection with the performance of the camera, we have always kept in mind whether the camera we are intended to invest upon will perform well with a variety of lenses and accessories available or not. Based on our user review, the Canon EOS 200D has done a good job on both fronts.

We did not find anything wrong with the camera in terms of its reliability and performance with wide range of accessories. Since you are investing money, you really need to care for it.

One thing we really missed with this unit is it does not come weather seal protection feature. If there is an environment or forecast of rain during your outdoor shooting, you will have to make arrangement for that to protect your camera from being wet or damp.

With its DIGIC 7 image processor and 24.2 Megapixel count the EOS 200D has produced stunningly beautiful images. Image quality produced by this camera is very well matched with that of image quality given by EOS 800D and EOS 77D. The dynamic range of the camera is far greater than its predecessor.

Another important feature we need to look at is the performance of the camera in terms of the ISO sensitivity. The ISO sensitivity is a feature that indicates how the camera performs in different light conditions. We did get a few user reviews in this respect too.

We did get excellent result in terms of image quality at the testing time.                 When we set the ISO level 100 to 1600, the images produced by the Canon EOS 200D we did not notice any distortion in image quality. They were completely noise free.

Going further to the ISO 3200 sensitivity range, we did feel some noise appearing in our image. But that also cannot be attributed to bad performance either. That is negligible. Setting up of ISO to 6400 and 12800 respectively did produce relatively more digital noise, though. You would not like to go beyond this level to retain the quality of your image.

If you are shooting at night, you would want to set the shutter speed at 30 seconds max, that lets you capture enough light in all conditions. When shooting in JPEG mode, you have option to create your own picture style with greater tone priority and auto lighting optimizer.

Shooting with burst mode was also good. We did not get disappointed with its performance because it fulfilled its quota of 5fps quite well. It is even better when shooting in Live View.

Coming to the performance of the Canon EOS 200D in terms of video recording, you will love to shoot video which is full HD 1920 x 1080 at 60 fps. You also have option to set your frame range to shoot video at 50 fps, 30 fps, 25 fps, 24 fps. It is also easy to toggle video mode from on/off switch as well as to access o the screen. Bu it does not offer 4K video recording.    

Overall, the performance the Canon EOS 200D has been quite impressive. Some of our user reviews even gave it excellent rating in this class of DSLR. 

Conclusion

The Canon EOS 200D comes with excellent 24.2 Megapixel resolution, DIGIC 7 image processor, full HD video recording at 60 fps and APS-C CMOS sensor. The camera also offers greater grip, vari-angle 3-inch LCD display with touchscreen functionality. This is one of the lightest cameras in this club of DSLR.

The Dual Pixel Live View auto-focusing system, built-in Wi-Fi, NFC and Blue tooth connectivity are other notable features. Image quality produced at different ISO level are quite stunning. Performance of the battery was decent during our shooting. 

Pros

  • Lightweight and easy to carry
  • Dual pixel autofocus system
  • Guided user interface
  • Beginners friendly and easy to master
  • Excellent image quality

Cons

  • Lack of 4K video
