The Canon EOS 250D is a DSLR that's stylish and portable. It has a grip to make it easier to hold without a tripod and it’s pretty lightweight too. The image quality is great considering its size, with its portrait and outdoor shots being the most impressive. There are plenty of automated scene modes too which make taking the perfectly balanced picture a breeze. Even better, it can record video in Ultra HD although it crops the frame down, so you won’t be able to get wide-angle video on this camera.

There are better mirrorless cameras available at this price – for example, Canon's own EOS M50 or the Fujifilm X-T100. But for beginners who fancy learning their trade on a DSLR, with all of the handling and battery life benefits this brings, the 250D is a solid choice. It's not quite as much of a bargain as the Nikon D3500, but you do get 4K video, a great range of lenses and some very decent performance in most shooting situations. Vloggers will also very much appreciate that vari-angle touchscreen too.
