you're welcome! I try to be thorough!
These are the details I came for. Thanks for this Mr. Laing
@@MarkAzali you're very welcome!
Nope, many did.
im so glad that someone reviews the entire camera. ive been looking around for my first camera for photography/videography and you really helped me figure out which one i want to get! thanks so much!!
You're welcome! PS - if you're ordering online, please consider using my price check links here or at cameralabs.com thanks!
What did you get?
Which one did you buy then ?
Its been 2 years. How's your journey now?
Honestly I’ve been looking into this camera for a bit. This review is really well made and goes into great depth. Nice one
I love this camera personally!
Is it good auto focus?
Yusuf Al-kathiri yess for a portrait or nature or something its really good

Canon SL3 Or cnon 250d Is Sem Camera Or Have Different?
@@kabeer0056 Yes, it is the same I believe.
Does it have anti-flicker mode? I'm very worried about light frequencies.
Also, does it have 24 fps now?

Thanks!
Just got this camera for my birthday it’s amazing 😀 thanks so much for the tips
Fionn Monstyr omg sameee
I wish glass wasn't so expensive.
I can re-glaze my entire house with new windows. Or I can buy a Canon lens.
But Canon mount lenses are generally cheaper than others due to their volume, the 3rd party options and the second hand market. In fact I'd say their affordability is the main attraction of buying into the EF mount.
And should you change to a CSC in the future, EOS lenses work very well in combination with adapters.
@@tomrhardwick yes, that's very true.
ArcanePath360 can you re-glaze your entire house for £105? Impressive!
@@skakdosmer Okay, I wasn't really talking about the mentioned lens (which is expensive as I recall my Canon 50mm 1.8 set me back about £50), but some decent Canon and 3rd party lenses such as really wide angle or over 250mm can cost more than the camera.
Guy sounds like he's 22
Also I'm totally sold with this camera , great review
Thank you for taking the time to do such a fine review. Your review has been very helpful although I still can´t decide over the 800D (which is out of stock in most stores), this 250D and the M50. Will be focused on 1080p video for my channel and of course photography as I learn. Again, thank you for the upload, cheers!
so what camera did you choose? I'm planning to buy 800D just because of its build quality but for now i'm confused in between 250D and 800D
@@hasnainraza8129 i picked the 250d! seems to be better
I use my EOS 200D as the second of two cameras that I carry for wild bird photography, set to centre point AF. With the 300mm f4L lens, this competent combo' is only 1.7kg & that is important as I walk miles. For wildlife, the optical viewfinder makes sense. The other camera that I carry at the same time is the EOS 80D with the 400mm f5.6L & that combo weighs 2.08kg. One camera is in my hand & the other on a peak design camera clip on inside my backpack. The sensor is essentially the same in both cameras & I get results that I am very happy with. I anticipate that I will use one more generation of DSLR (EOS 90D?) before finally moving to mirrorless, with an adaptor in about 5yrs time. Most mirrorless cameras seem to have a premium price when compared with DSLRs. The 200D also gets used as a general purpose camera with my E-FS 17-55mm f2.8 lens, designed for APS-c sensors. I have no desire to upgrade to the EOS250D. Who uses 4k anyway?
you're right that mirrorless has historically been more expensive, but with the 250D / SL3, it roughly matches the M50 for features and price, so it becomes a case of whether you prefer having an optical or an electronic viewfinder. For me, the EVF wins for most situations, but if you can exploit the central AF point as you do on your 200D, it could work better for you. Sounds like a well thought-out setup you have.
@@cameralabs Thanks Gordon! I should have added that you can see my photos at GregHeath.net. Thanks for another great camera review.
Best and really only video I've been able to find that really dives into the eye AF. Thank you!!
you're welcome!
This was a very well put-together video and I appreciate you!
Thanks!
This is probably the only review worth watching. Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
10:46 You said 1080p at 60fps, but we don't see it?
18:40 So, would we be able to get it at a lower price few years from now on the same site you linked us in the description?
From 2:13 were you filming in the Lanes in Brighton - it made me feel nostalgic - ages since I've been there
Too many M50 fan boys out there the truth of the matter is the SL3 is just as good Digic8 is fantastic eye A/f amazing and the battery life of the M50 is terrible not to mention the lens choice. The 250D for me is the biggest bargain out there by a long shot I've had the M50 and also have a 5Dmk3 and to be honest the 250D is what I always end up using for my mountain - sreet and landscape work it's small light and with great lens choice without using the £100+ lens adaptor needed for the M50. Side by side it's hard to notice any difference in this and my main work Dslr the 5D it's a no brainer and a top bit of kit for the cash.
They are almost same with technical details, but im taking 250d due to popular and pretty cheap ef and efs mount
One thing I needed to know what the depth of field preview, thank you!!
Love the viewfinder because I shoot fast moving subjects that seem to elude me with the lcd screen but the lcd screen is much better for closer, slow moving subjects for sure and be able to use the eye detection mode!
Best review of my new camera! TY!
Thanks!
I’m thinking of buying this camera to start photography and this video made me wanna buy it a lot more cheers
If this gave me 4K with Dual Pixel AF, and no crop, but nope, not going to happen. The EF catalog is awesome. The dumb 1.6 crop is math that is a bit harder 1.5 like most use. The M50 being a 1/5 bigger would have been mine but nope the M50 is too small for me. And it is poor form for just Canon speed lites. I have had the most fun with my SL-2 of any camera in recent memory. I cannot wrap my head around this camera. Nothing I really want here. As usual, your reviews are my favorite.
90d is here for you now.
I just bought my first camara sl 3. I'm so excited
Great video review of the 250D - as usual Gordon. One of my students recently bought this camera and I always recommend your site, channel, and books to my photography learners. Keep up the good work. Are you based in the UK now?
Thanks and yes, I've been back in the UK since 2012.
I'm not sure your review is in depth enough. Gordon ;) Seriously though, you've clearly really gone to town on getting to know this camera. Great review :)
travel back in time and you will be very glad you still have an actual view finder that always works!! soon people will only have thumbs to operate their phones and smart mirrorless cameras!
one of the very few reviews that actually showcase the image/video quality! not just talking and going through the menus ..
I try to be thorough!
Another great review gordon!
I really hope the removal of the sync pin isn't a sign of what will happen on future canon bodies in a bid to help secure more canon flash sales.
Did Canon comment on why there was no pin anymore?
I'm hoping it will only affect entry-level models, but I'll ask...
I loved your performance in reservoir dogs. It's such an honor!
Thank you for this review. :)
You're welcome Belle!
Nice video, I'm glad you covered so many of the odd removals from previous models in EF-S/EF-M as well as the limitations of this camera's DSLR side. Hopefully this video and others will steer beginners toward the M50 and SL2. If a user has no experience with DSLRs/mILC and knowledge of what they are losing, the SL3 is certainly a fine camera, but that's about it in my opinion. This model doesn't give me much hope the replacement for the M50 will not have feature removals like the SL3/RP.

But... its so expensive 😫
i was going to get a M50 but i have a $1000 lens that only fits with ef-s lens and i didnt think the m50 worksw with that
@@marcusfirebrace3298 you'd need an adapter
4 years after this video was made I’ve found it and have just ordered a 250d. Should be here in the next few days. My first “real” camera following a super zoom and a compact zoom (hx60). Can’t wait to see what I can do with this.
Glad to help. Enjoy your new camera!
Can’t wait! What budget friendly lens would you recommend for going to the race track and getting some motorsport photographs? I’ve looked at “Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II” which seems to have mixed reviews.
I tried it for my budget camera, I really love it
brilliant review answers all my questions thanks mate
Gordon, your reviews are always good. I think that the main problem that Canon has is them waiting on a new generation of image processors, as they design and fabricate their own, they are not likely to do as I guess Nikon did and get one tailored from Sony's technology to get "one out there today".
I am primarily a stills photographer and shoot DSLRS but use an M6 system as a lightweight carry casual use camera and in that context would see the M50 as a better bet to the 250D. It is not just that the mirrorless M50 delivers more options but whilst the 250D does open up the full Canon and others lens range, in fact for a lightweight camera, the M series lenses are good and also very light, lightweight cameras need lightweight lenses too.
I’m getting this camera as my top-view camera tomorrow and it has everything I would ever need. Regarding 4K, I got a Atomos Ninja External Monitor and plan to use manual focus for sharp details.
Hey there!
since I'm traveling a lot I'm highly interested in the GEO-Tagging capability of the Canon 250D. You showed in your video that the camera is able to get the GPS data via bluetooth from a modern smartphone. Did you try it? And if so, how was the result? Did it work reliable? How fast did it achieve the GPS connection after turning on the camera?
Thanks a lot in advance and cheers from Germany,
Tim
Just ordered one. I'm not sure as to what I'm doing, but thanks for the review 😊.
My school has a lot of these and a few 750d cameras that we can loan. So far they have worked great.😊
The best camera review in UA-cam #gordonlaing
Why thankyou!
Great review! How does this perform at high ISOs in video mode?
I have a Canon EOS 1100D which seemed to have developed some kind of sensor fault on the electric viewfinder, displaying strange colours but not causing any effect to pictures. May be time to consider an upgrade, have considered the 4000D but this may swing me to the 250D.
I love it amazing camera review of canon thank you so much it very helpful and informative
You're welcome!
Please which is better for photograhy nikon d5600 or canon sl3
I have the 100D and it still works great, so I am sure this one would be pretty great as well : )
The 100d can do 24fps in 1080p. The 250d cannot. In that way, the 6 year old camera is better than the new camera.
Unless you need 4k, I think the older t7i is a better deal.
@@FinalLugiaGuardian I'd go for the 200D / SL2 as it has a few neat upgrades over the 100D,.
Shams about that flash socket missing the center pin
I know, sneaky, right?
Mark Laurendet the aftermarket will support it.
Not unless they're going to invest in developing a flash for this single camera, there is no other camera with this non feature. Buy this camera and you're locked into a very expensive canon flash.
@@geru2000 as I mentioned in the video, there's two other Canon DSLRs with the same limitation, and I have a feeling we may see more at the entry-level anyway.
At Canon they have a great masterplan that most of us does not understand. Or, they have a wrong decision making management in those current times. A flawless 4k, proper hotshoe and other fixes would have greatly helped sales. To me it seems they are scratching the bottom of the barrel waiting for some revolutionary strike. If so, they better speed up its release as they are damaging their reputation. Not so evident in sales terms today, but is today that they should grow the seeds of tomorrow
thank you for the effort and the sharing. i have a SL2 that i have been very pleased with in both stills and motion.. it has worked very well as an interview camera with non-professional subjects who are sometimes overwhelmed by a bigger camera rig. my only beef with the SL2 is the lack of a headphone jack but that is set aside when i rig up my zoom f4. overall, for the value and quality (and if you can still exist without 4k), for me the SL2 has been great. btw, i am a very appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.
I recently bought this camera' How do you cut on the grid lines?
Hi may i ask what type of lens are you using?
I just need something for all my ef-s lenses. Yes adapted to the RP is cool but overall I really hate adapting. Adds to size etc. I have plenty of better video and stills cameras, but for live feeds and my crop lenses this is perfect. Great battery life, improved grip, eye af. I'll be happy when this gets delivered tomorrow.
Great review as usual.
Thanks!
Considering you used a kit lens the images came out well. I have this camera and usually have a 24mm pancake lens. It's a nice camera for travel or street photography.
A Canon 250d é a mesma Canon Sl3 no Brasil?
hello. You are between the two models of Canon EOS 77D and Canon EOS 250D which are you suggesting for a beginner and amateur person to buy?
250D is fine, spend any extra on a second lens and coffee donations to your favourite youtubers!
Many thanks - I have just ordered one!
Thanks for this. I'm thinking about buying my first ever canon camera since I've had my Sony for 3 years. I might get this exact camera.
Great job my brotha 👊🏾👊🏾
Thank you! This was a very helpful review!
You're welcome!
I wish I had a canon 250d with lens it's beautiful wow amazing
Nice review
Hello Gordon, thanks for this excellent review! I also saw your review of the Sony RX10 IV. I'm looking to move up from a smartphone camera and take up travel photography as a hobby. Would it make sense if I got the more expensive Sony instead of this Canon SL3 or SL2? because to achieve the same kind of zoom on the Canon as the Sony, I'd have to purchase a zoom lens which would then bump up the total cost to maybe more than the all-in-one Sony. Also for vlogging I'm sure there is a way with perhaps some accessories, to overcome the limitations of having just a tilting screen as opposed to a fully articulated screen, yes?
Another thing is how would you rate Sony's autofocus to that of this Canon's dual pixel? Are they about the same in speed? Would love to hear your thoughts on this. I am gravitating to the RX10 but I also understand that a Mark V maybe be announced in the fall of 2019, so I may wait for that before deciding on my first purchase.
I'd say the RX10 IV is one of the best all-round travel cameras. The sensor's a bit smaller than a DSLR or mirrorless camera, but that's what allows the big zoom in a small body. The AF is also excellent. See my review of it.
AF = wow
But no example of ISO at night :(
Very nice,clear and amazing review.
Thanks!
Hello, flash is not popping up automatically in my canon 250d !!
Only manual mode? I tried even in low light conditions, still not popping up automatically and it shows onscreen message like "only raise the flash"
How can I resolve this
Can u make video and still photos comparison with S10 plus and iPhone xs?
Hi Gordon, I used to watch your reviews back when i purchased my S8000FD, Good to see you're still going, Im looking to get back into photography, Would you pick this camera with kit lens 18-55 and 70-300, or FZ1000 2?, Would be using it mainly outdoors with occasional aircraft photography.
Glad you found me again! I'd be tempted for the DSLR setup if you're ok to carry it all around. the FZ1000 would be more portable, but less responsive. The most responsive superzoom is the Sony RX10 IV, but it's not cheap.
Hi Gordon, I bought the 250D before seeing this video . I have been having serious headaches choosing a Speedlight .
I am a documentary/event photographer
I'd just choose the Canon model with the range/ power you require.
I just bought the sl3.. Ive read the sl3 is better in lower light situations. I'm looking to use this for a beginner base camera for b roll wedding video and indoor real estate. Video. Should I take back and get the m50?? Thanks and I subscribed and live your videos.
You get about 5 times better battery life from the SL3, and both cameras have similar capabilities. You also get much wider lens options with the SL3. I think you should keep it.
Hello Gordon, what external flash it's suitable for this model,maybe a cheaper one ,thanks in advance

Best review ever, thanks
Thanks!
I am stuck on deciding which camera to get as a beginner. Would you rather pick the 250d or the nikon 5600? Both look like great options but advice from someone more experienced with dslr cameras would be helpful.
Which camera did you get in the end? I’ve stumbled across this video deciding on the same choices as you.
Amazing review! plan to get this, but how much smaller is this camera compare to much older eos 650d?
Nice work, Gordon - that eye detection demo was very nicely done. I have to say that Canon removing that center hot shoe contact seems petty and spiteful. I don't like that one bit.
I really don't know what the fuss is about the flash. I'm looking to buy my first camera and as long as it has a pop up flash I'm happy.
Seems people just look at this camera from a experienced photographers view. As a beginner this camera is perfect. The main reason being ease of use, the picture view of what the function dials do ( P, AV, M etc ) will be invaluable to me as a novice.
It's not a fuss. Canon removed the center hot shoe contact for no good reason, other than to force people to buy their overpriced Speedlites instead of more reasonably priced third party options. I'm not outraged by that, I'm just voicing my opinion by saying I don't like it. When you begin to understand what a shoe mount or slave flash setup can do for your portrait photography (which may be sooner than you think), this might matter to you. Maybe it won't. But why start out at a disadvantage?
Still can't see the problem. If I want external flash later I have two options buy the canon flash or another camera. If I get to the stage where I am sufficiently experienced or capable of using external flashes, I'll probably will want a camera upgrade as well.
...and on this island it is branded as Canon EOS 200D MkII - which makes sense considering it's the same body shell with upgraded internals and software.
yes, that makes more sense!
Thank you, very informative
What a small BEAST😋😎
Are you tempted?
I look for an opinion regarding this camera option. I am looking to get a camera to shoot kind of simple video for the moment, for you tube content, and eventually some vlogging and limited photo work. I already own a set of EF and EF-S lenses, including the 10-18 mm and the 24 mm pancake. I also consider the option that this camera may end up being a more static, small studio setup once i get something more light and advanced for on the go vlogging eventually. I am not interested in 4K for the moment. Do i lose anything of significance if i simply go for the 200D and just ignore the 250D ? Also, should i bother with EF-M series, since i already own EF/EF-S lenses? I also own a Sony A7 using adapted Canon lenses and vintage lenses, planing to invest in some FE lenses for photography in the future. Thank you!
Thank you for this...
You're welcome!
Buy the 90d
Great presentation. Nice to see you, again. Everything was awesome. I will keep up with your work.
Your friend... Deveree Greenwood 😉
Thankyou!
Is this a good camera for UA-cam/instagtam videos? And close up portrait/product photography? Or should i opt for the t7i?
This is fine, or the EOS M50.
Hi, are you able to adjust exposure in full manual mode? Great video!
Yes, you can have full manual control.
Thanks for doing this video Gordon :-) May I ask what camera you used to film the back of the Canon camera when you were showing the menu and handling the camera? It looks like that camera has quite detailed video and good video auto focus.
Well noticed! I filmed this (and my last few videos) using the Sony A6400 and e 24mm f1.8.
@@cameralabs : Thanks for letting me know! :-)
Whiich kind of versatile lens you will suggest for my more family kind of use - events, outing, kids, landscape etc
With or without 18~55mm lens.
And l don't want to buy too many lenses. My need is more portraits, good photos at night also
Thank you for such info, what’s the recommended flash light for this camera 250d?
hello !nice pictures ... Why 250d or m50 at fullhd mode gets not sharp picrures??? 4k is ok- but crop! WHY?
Godox updated firmware of some of its flashes a while ago, to support crippled canons with out the central pin.
Hi Gordon, I have bought a Russian vintage mirror lens (Masuktov MC MTO-11 CA 1000MM M42). Is it possible to use it with a Canon EOS 250D?, which is the correct Adapter, M39, M42 or a T Mount? I would like to buy the camera, but honestly I don't have any idea or experience about it, I really need help .
You're looking for an M42 to EF mount adapter, but I can't guarantee it'll focus or exposure properly. Assume manual EVERYTHING and keep your finger's crossed it will focus on distant subjects.
@@cameralabs thanks a lot for gordon ,for your help.
Can anyone explain to me what is better about 24fps compared to 25fps?
Thank you for the review. This saved me a lot of money. My mother is still using her trusty old 450D so I was thinking about buying her a new 250D. The specs look really great on paper and the camera would be a good match for her EF-S lens collection. But the missing flash pin as an absolute deal breaker for us. When she can't use her flashes anymore then the camera is pretty useless.
You're welcome! So which do you think you'll get for her? Maybe the older 200D, or perhaps a switch to the mirrorless M50?
Was it the 800d or the 850d these days.
That had more or less the same sensor and an actual upgrade in AF with the 19 point all crosstype AF system.
Just checked it's the 800d and in my country it's actually cheaper despite being objectively better.
It's confusing how one camera has different names around the world:
- Canon EOS 250D
- Canon EOS Kiss X10 (Japan)
- Canon EOS Rebel SL3 (North America)
- Canon EOS 200D II Mark II (Asia/Oceania)
It's equally frustrating when you're trying to name a review too
Sir we need canon m50 vs canon 250d comparison video please please.. and super video .good luck sir
If you prefer mirrorless, get the M50. If you prefer DSLR, get the 250D. There you go!
How do you put it in eye and face detection like in your video at the part 12:45 in your video? When I video it makes so much noise when zooming in. How can I get a wider view and less noise when zooming? So it seems what you are saying is that 4K isn’t as good as filming in 1080
Great video Gordon. Thank you. Can I ask, I have an old Panasonic Lumix FZ100 from 2010 but I'm looking to upgrade to something that gives better videos for self-taping? Do you have any suggestions? Is the Canon SL2 the best affordable DSLR out there?
Yep, the SL2 is great value for money!
Is there auto zoom in button in this camera? I mean do I need to zoom in from the lens or there is a button to zoom in on the camera body
Good review thank a lot❤
Idk why but you're like Christopher Frost of cameras to me. That's a good thing btw
Thanks!
Any working flash for this one?
Do you need a mic for this camera or does it have a built in mic?
It has built in
I have M50 and a third party flash that works with EOS M, it over-exposes everything on M50 so there is little use for the center pin,
