My 3 Year Review of the Canon 250D | Is it Better than a Mirrorless Camera?

Күн бұрын

I have been using the Canon 250D for 3 years now and here is my thoughts on it! I explain why I think the camera is still good even with the mirrorless camera era in full swing and who it suits for photography or videography. This is an office review and if you want to see me test the camera go check out my channel where I try it in the real world.

Spot on Toby! I use my 250D on surveillances and the battery goes on forever. It is a super camera when used with the right lens and within it's limitations.

Good video. I bought a 250D to use with my T7 and love it. I have an assortment of EF and EF-S lenses that work with both. I don't plan on mirrorless because of cost and don't want to have to purchase new lenses or use adapters. My go to lenses with both cameras are my 18-135mm and 55-250mm.

Nice used review of the 250D. I just bought a brand new 250D this year. Though it's more of a lateral move coming from a 100D, i wanted it's Dual Pixel AF and Vari-angle screen, which my previous DSLR doesn't have. I also decided to stick with the EF mount, because all of my lenses are EF & EF-S Glass. I mainly do cosplay portraits and don't really need all those raging high fps most Mirrorless have for now. Indeed this camera is light, and paired with an EF-S 24mm, you can no longer feel it's weight.. It's one of my fave lenses aside from the nifty fifty STM and Sigma 30mm Art.

How much of a difference do you find it compared to the 100D? I have a 100D which I use for Street Photography with the 24mm ef-s or the 50mm. I I have a Nikon full frame as my main camera.

@moeaerofoilweeb8794 10 ай бұрын

@@ootnaboot2 image quality not really much i guess.. though i'm no-go in pixel peeping or so in cropping. It's a bit larger & heavier than the 100D though, the rubberized grip feels kinda cheaper and the body has more plasticky feel overall. Dual Pixel AF, Vari-Angle Screen & Wi-Fi are the reasons that pushed me to switch.

Great review! - I'm still loving my Canon 250D. One benefit of DSLR I don't believe you mentioned is relative cost. As loads of people are ditching DSLRs (especially compact DSLRs) in favour of full frame or mirrorless cameras, you can pick up some bargain second hand lenses. I got a great deal on a used EFS 55-250mm lens and I'm super happy with it!

Hi Toby I took have a 250d and like you I really like it and the results it gives me. I have a KZfaq channel and have just had a much better laptop for editing so I am planning on using this camera more now as I move to 4k video for my channel. I have been trying to figure out if the 250d is a 8 bit or a 10 bit camera and was hoping you may have mentioned it. Great video btw and thank you for sharing it 👍 Kind regards Paul

Interesting that you touched on the great dslr v mirrorless debate in this one and whilst i accept that mirrorless will inevitably be the way forward, to my mind, the technology is still in it's infancy and anyone buying into it now is going to end up with a vastly overpriced paper weight in about a years time such is the pace of development of mirrorless technology at the minute....thus...i'm going to sit back on the "antiquated" dslr fence, continue to take photos.....and when...and only when, the mirrorless dust has setteled....will i even consider buying what is currently overpriced and overhyped crap! 😎👍

I still have my 250d, in terms of photo quality, it has a very good photo quality. Autofocus can do better but its good.. since it uses DPAF 1 and not the 2 version. Still the DPAF1 is much better than other brand camera AF new release cameras. The only thing I regret with sl3 is that its crop sensor, one card slot, no battery grip and its a dslr. I want to use mirrorless and new glasses so bad and that DPAF2 is super sticky. But overall, this are all just "wants" and not "needs" if I ever want to be a pro someday ill go straight to Canon R6 mark ii and skip canon r8 because I need that dual card slot even though they are the same camera. Thanks to my sl3, I learned alot about the camera and how to take photos properly. I dont care about how fast a camera can shoot because im not a sport or wildlife photograper, im a portrait photographer. Always buy a new lense and camera if you "need" it and not want Because of sl3 I learned that not everything on youtube is real specially famous photographer in youtube teaching things that are simply not true... well maybe it is true in some cases but are not all the time. Knowing how to operate a camera is way better than a beginner who has a very expensive camera but has no idea how to use it.

I am also sticking with DSLRs. I shot with mirrorless a few years back and I still have a few now but the EVF is just uninspiring. I feel disconnected to the subject.

@mikeodowd100 10 ай бұрын

I decided to trade in my 250d for the Canon R10 mirrorless. Honestly, I’ll never go back to DSLR again. Much better autofocus system. Burst rate up to 22 frames per second. It’s even a bit lighter than a 250d. The only negative is poor battery life. My Canon R6 has poor battery life. You must carry spare batteries on both.

share, please, how do you like the canon R10? I'm thinking about buying it, I'm also thinking about canon RF, before that there was a canon 250d

@mikeodowd100 10 ай бұрын

@@lialitvinova182 The R10 uses the same Digic 10 processor as the €6500 R3 does. It allows for better low light photography vs the 250d. The 250d only has nine focus points, vs the R10’s 642. Of course you can shoot up to 22 frames per second, vs 5 on the 250d. I really like the electronic viewfinder on the R10. You can shoot silently too! I actually prefer traveling with the R10, as it’s a very light, and it’s a small powerful mirrorless camera. I leave my much more expensive R6 at home. So to summarize my experience, I really enjoy the camera. I’ve used it to shoot sports, and wildlife. I believe you meant you are also looking at the RP. It’s advantage would be that it’s a full frame camera. It will shoot better in low light conditions. And it’s weather sealed. If you plan on shooting wildlife, the RP only shoots 5 frames per second. So it doesn’t excel in wildlife and sports photography. It’s a good landscape photography camera.

Please help me Toby. I'm about to have a baby now and want to buy our first family camera. Mostly to photograph special family moments. I am also a Sports coach and would like to capture sports photography. I may also make a habit of photography because of this. This will be a big investment and I'm not likely to buy another camera for years to come. I'm thinking of either the 200d or 250d, the 7d mark ii, or a mirrorless m50 or m5. Please give me your best suggestion? Hoping to make this purchase ASAP. Thank you so much, your videos have been very helpful !

@TobyWoodPhoto 5 ай бұрын

I went for the Canon 7D mk ii, which in my opinion was the best all round, the only problem bing video which isn't 4k, sought out by most nowadays. If you are happy to invest, the M50 is also a good shout, but I can not talk from experience of using it.
