Canon EOS M200 Review (admirably beginner friendly, Photography Blog)

Canon EOS M200 review

Here is a new Canon EOS M200 review.

Photography Blog reviewed the Canon EOS M200, the company’s latest APS-C mirrorless camera. A camera clearly aimed at beginners or people stepping up from smartphone photography.

From their conclusion:

What the EOS M200 has going for it is its intuitiveness. We found it to be one of the easiest interchangeable lens cameras (one of the major benefits over and above use of a smartphone for your photography) to get to grips with from scratch.

For those who want to take their photography slightly more seriously than their smartphone allows, but without investing heavily to do so, the Canon EOS M200 provides a decent point of entry.

As a result this isn’t the most impressive, interesting or innovative Canon camera ever – and some may bemoan the fact that it omits an eye-level viewfinder or even the ability to add one as an optional extra – but the EOS M200 nevertheless fulfills the beginner friendly purpose for which it has been created admirably.

Google Pixel 4 Review: Low Light Photography Comparison With Canon EOS RP

google pixel 4 review

We featured an iPhone 11 vs Fujifilm GFX 100 comparison and an iPhone 11 vs Canon EOS 5D Mark IV comparison. Now it’s time for a Google Pixel 4 review of this kind, and it’s the Canon EOS RP to be the reference.

In the 11 minutes video below Denae & Andrew compare the Google Pixel 4 Night Sight mode with the Canon EOS RP for handheld night photography. An inexpensive Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS lens was used on the EOS RP

I guess this is not the last Google Pixel 4 review of this kind (or iPhone 11 review of this kind, for that matter). I really wonder if in three years there will be someone left, who is not a professional photographer, to buy a DSLR or a mirrorless camera.

What’s the point in buying a camera when smartphones are more powerful with each generation, feature telephoto and wide angle lenses, and computational photography delivers more and more magic?
