Canon EOS 4000D DSLR with 18-55mm Lens - Platinum Bundle

Our review of the Canon EOS 4000D DSLR with the 18-55mm kit lens and a 21pc Platinum Mobile Camera Bundle finds it best for beginners who want an all-in-one kit to start shooting stills and Full HD video. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of a simple, familiar DSLR experience with useful extras like a padded case, spare battery and a SanDisk 32GB memory card so photographers can shoot right away without hunting for basic accessories.

Key Features

• 18.0MP APS-C sensor: Delivers printable quality photos with detail suited to hobbyists and social sharing.
• Built-in Wi-Fi: Lets users transfer images and control the camera remotely from a compatible smartphone for quick sharing.
• Full HD 1080p video: Records smooth movies at 29.97 fps that are fine for family events and online uploads.
• Scene Intelligent Auto: Simplifies shooting by selecting settings automatically so new users get good results with minimal learning.
• Platinum accessory bundle: Includes a spare LP-E10 battery, charger, tripod options and a SanDisk 32GB card so the kit is ready for travel and first shoots.
• 18-55mm zoom lens: Covers wide to short-telephoto framing (35mm equivalent about 28.8-88mm), making it versatile for landscapes and portraits.

Who It's For

The Canon EOS 4000D kit is aimed at beginners and hobbyists who want a straightforward DSLR experience plus a full set of starter accessories. The simple controls, Scene Intelligent Auto and guided Creative Auto mode help users move from point-and-shoot cameras to manual control when ready.

Photographers who need very fast continuous shooting, advanced autofocus systems for sports or professional-level low-light performance should look elsewhere; the 3 fps burst and 9-point AF are modest compared with newer models aimed at enthusiasts and pros.
