The 4000D is also one of the most lightweight DSLRs on the market. It’s not as heavy as some of the more expensive models, but it still feels a bit flimsy. The camera is also quite small and easy to carry around with you, which is a plus. However, there are a few things that could be improved about this camera. For example, there are no external controls for the lens or shutter release, which means you have to use the camera’s own buttons to take pictures or shoot videos. Additionally, there are no headphone jacks on this model, so you have to use headphones if you want to take pictures or record videos.
The camera’s back has a series of familiar buttons, but instead of printing their functions directly on the button itself, the labels are instead printed on the body of the camera. This presumably means that Canon can insert generic buttons here, which in turn keeps costs to a minimum. Overall, the buttons are sensibly arranged and allow direct access to specific functions, such as ISO, drive mode, white balance, etc.
The autofocus system on the Canon EOS Rebel T6i is getting a bit tired, but if you’re new to DSLR photography, it’s good enough to get started. All of the AF points are centered in the frame, so be prepared to focus and realign if your subject is on the edge. The center of the 9 points is the more sensitive cross-type AF point, so you’ll probably find that this point is used most often when shooting in low light. However, other focus points do a good job of capturing the subject in good lighting conditions.
The 4000D is a great camera for DSLR shooters who want to capture high-quality images and videos. However, it is not the best option for videographers who want to shoot home movies or make videos.
