Canon's absolute cheapest DSLR, stripped to bare essentials for the most budget-conscious buyer.
The Canon EOS 4000D, known as the Rebel T100 in some markets, was released in 2018 as the cheapest DSLR Canon has ever made. With an 18MP APS-C sensor, it sits below even the 2000D in Canon's lineup. Nearly every feature has been cut to reach the lowest possible price point.
The body is noticeably cheaper than the 2000D with a plastic lens mount, reduced rear screen resolution, and no NFC. The 9-point AF system and 3fps burst are identical to other entry models. Image quality is acceptable from the 18MP sensor in good light. Wi-Fi is included. There is no touchscreen, no articulating display, and no 4K video.
The 4000D exists solely to be the cheapest interchangeable-lens camera available. It is criticised for the plastic lens mount which is fragile, the low-resolution rear screen, and the generally cost-reduced feel. For learning purposes it captures the same images as more expensive Canon bodies.
Extremely cheap used. The plastic lens mount is the main concern as it can crack with heavy lenses. Check the mount carefully for any play or damage. For a few pounds more the 2000D is a better camera in every respect. Only recommended when absolute minimum spend is required.
