The Canon 4000D is low on both features and build quality. You’ll notice immediately that instead of having a metal lens mount on the front of the body, the camera has a black, all-plastic one (perhaps perfect for the Canon “nifty fifty”). It’s a mount that won’t take a beating as well as other Canon DSLRs, but it should do its job of holding onto a lens.
Inside the 4000D is an 18-megapixel APS-C sensor, down from the 24.1-megapixel one found in the Rebel T7/2000D. The 4000D does feature the same DIGIC 4+ image processor and has the same maximum ISO of 6400 (expandable to 12800). The camera can shoot 3 frames per second continuously with a 9-point autofocus system.
On the back of the 4000D are a 6.8cm (~2.68in) LCD screen and a centrally-mounted optical viewfinder.
Other features of the 4000D include Wi-Fi connectivity, Full HD video recording, in-camera feature guides for beginners, and a battery life of about 500 photos (or 1 hour and 15 minutes of HD Video).
Here’s a chart that compares how the 4000D stacks up against the 2000D/T7:
Here are some official sample photos captured with the Canon 4000D:
f/1.8, 1/200s, ISO 800
f/1.8, 1/250s, ISO 800
f/2.8, 1/80s, ISO 800
f/22, 13s, ISO 200
f/8, 1/1000s, ISO 100
According to DPReview, “the 4000D will be priced at around £330/€380 for the body only. That would equate to somewhere around $385 without tax, That’s the lowest launch price of any DSLR we can remember.”
