This has great reviews everywhere, it has Canon 80 D sensor. It's similar weight like mirroless Sony A6500. It has touch screen and best autofocus system in live view. The price is Cracking as on Camerapricebuster showing that the lowest is for £509 for body only and even warranty from Globalcantral is risky however Canon are reliable cameras so worth a shot!

Not in every aspect - the G7 has 4K video,the 200D does 1080/60p and has 49 AF points instead of 9 AF points on the Canon. Its touched on in the DPReview review of the 200D:
Those seeking a portable and easy-to-use interchangeable lens camera with an optical viewfinder. Travelers who want to effortlessly share their photos with friends on social media."
"Not so good for
Those taking photos of subjects moving quickly or unpredictably. Moviemakers who want a decent set of video capture tools."

There's a reason this company undercuts everyone else, just look at the feedback they get from people on this site - no way would I drop £300 with them

Bought the canon 77d from eglobal ebay store a couple of months back for £520 (lowest uk price then was £800) and kit 18-55 stm lens for £65. Arrived within a week and new issues so far. Yes their customer service is reviewed as terrible so any issues and you're in trouble. Saved over £400 for my bundle.

So have i,but from a recognized seller,(Flash camera - Kerso) with reassurance of knowing your warranty wil be honored if needed to use
Wouldn't say it's the best camera for beginners, have a 760D grey import never and issue for me

neither 760d nor 200d are 'beginners' cameras imo (500quid+ from proper retailers) a beginner can pay for anything they want so the only true filter is the low entry point to the system leading to the 1xxxD types
oliverkennedy10 to brilly
25 Sep 17#20
Lmfao of course the 760d isn't a beginners camera I never said it was. I just say I had one as someone was on about gray imports 1100D is a great beginner, I used to have one before it broke and I upgraded

ah right, perhaps in your rush to tell us about your wonderful camera you forgot to make your point clearly

No not at all. Learn to read

sorry but its a case of reading the garbage i was provided:
comma links the 2 sentences so you are qualifying your point with a better camera which you never had 'and' issues with... or else you are making an unqualified point = useless
the fact the grey import was x camera is irrelevant to it being a grey import, you dont even say which retailer so basically irrelevant and probably doubly so
so... thanks for your carefully constructed arguments!

Better than the canon 70D?

To be honest everybody have the camera in their phones and they are beginners, but this software which give you step by step guide is helpful, live view, NFC Bluetooth, best tracking system with dual pixel autofocus for this money... Check YouTube reviews. I will buy one even I have two Canon 6d. The Canon prime lenses are so cheap 50mm f1.8 £60. It's best DSLR for beginners.

saying it again and again doesn't make it true
Sliwka to brilly
25 Sep 17#17
Do you know any other System camera which can be more easy to operate?
brilly to Sliwka
25 Sep 17#18
thats subjective - is that your only criteria for 'beginners'? with a single dial all the help guides in the world will not make it any more usable
anyway, its a good price for the camera - just need to hope nothing goes wrong from poor reputation grey seller ... which is something a beginner may not want to deal with either :wink:

I would say try a used sony nex -2 yr g'tee cex - the live view is what you get as photo.
DSLR too big for casual use.

oh god... you never seen sliwka before? now you started him off...

Yes Brilly I know You using Sony cameras. They're not bad but not for beginners. Nex series is like point and shoot type. With Canon everything is explained step step by step. User friendly cameras. Actually it's the smallest DSLR on the market and with prime lenses 24, 40 and 50mm you will get great results and save money. All the Youtubers laying about how it's East to shoot with Canon, only Brilly is telling true. :smile:

I am a lot out of touch nowadays ... but isn't " They're not bad but not for beginners. Nex series is like point and shoot type " a bit of a contradiction ? I only have 1 dslr , d3200 , which I hardly use - too big - even with the 35mm. "Smallest DSLR" is still a bit like "smallest Transit van" . . . there are smaller vehicles. I use olympus 16mp most.
