Hello I currently have an EOD 400D and would like to upgrade to something with at least live view but would prefer a camera with WiFi I have looked at the 2000D, the 4000D and the 6D but there seems to be quite a lot to consider. I am very new to photography and still finding my feet, so to speak. I have a budget of around £300-£350 and am looking at used kit but want to be able to use the lenses I have now (which obviously fit the 400D) with the camera that i buy. What should I be looking for in terms of Mirrorless, DSLR? Should I be looking for full frame? Just a few questions which may help me decide what to buy and get the best value for money. Thanks in advance Paul
Both the 2000D and 4000D are from 2018 the same entry level tier of camera, the 2000D would be the better choice with some higher specs, it was a little more expensive at the time for this reason. I assume the price is negligible in the used market in the UK, so I would opt for the higher specs at a similar price point. If you like the camera to be more of a point and shoot for both pics and video the entry level does the thinking for you and takes out some of the control you will look for as you become an advanced shooter. They are good starter cameras but some people grow out of them quickly. The 6d would be a nice purchase at a couple hundred bucks if its in the same wheelhouse price wise... The 6d was a budget priced full frame and a nice backup camera to semi professionals, you will find a lot more customizable features. If your a quick learn to photography it wouldn't be a bad idea to just jump in, other reasons to go full frame would be that you like landscape /city scape/ etc... If you shoot wide angle you will appreciate full frame where the crop sensor apc cameras limit the viewable angle of the lens you are using. Here is a chart that shows all the levels and evolution of the DSLR line...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Canon_EOS_digital_cameras Mirrorless- everything has pivoted to mirrorless in last few years. You could go this route but used market is limited.... so if your on a budget there are plenty of great cameras that were made since 2010 that will have years of life in them that you can get value buying second hand. The EF lenses work with pretty much everything, they are meant to full frame as well as aps-c crop frame, and you can adapt to mirroless. The EF-s will need an aps-c crop sensor body. The RF lenses are for the mirroless r cameras, and will not mount to the DSLRs.
a question, what type of photography have you been doing so far and what type do you see yourself doing the most or would like to?
