Overview

Small in size, big on features

Inside its portable body, the EOS 250D features a 24.1-megapixel sensor and a DIGIC 8 image processor for superb results on the move. An optical viewfinder gives a clear, real-time view of the world.

The compact DSLR

As the world’s lightest DSLR camera with movable screen*, the EOS 250D can go to more places and be with you more often, for superb results whenever creativity strikes.

Stunning high resolution images and 4K movies

Capture 24.1 megapixel photos and 4K movies that are pin-sharp and packed with colour. An APS-C sized sensor and DIGIC 8 processor ensure great results, even in low light.

Connected to your life

It’s easy to share images with friends and family – just link the EOS 250D to your smartphone or tablet computer* using Bluetooth** and the camera’s built-in Wi-Fi will take care of the rest.

Stay focused, look sharp

Whether you capture the moment at 5fps with the optical viewfinder, or use Dual Pixel CMOS AF Live View with Eye Auto Focus, you can enjoy pin-sharp results.

Simple or advanced?

Enjoy point and shoot simplicity, while Guided UI and Creative Assist mode help unlock your creativity.
The movable touchscreen makes awkward angles and selfies easy.

Canon aims to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions from its business activities by 2050

We will achieve this by delivering an average improvement of 3% per year in the lifecycle CO2 emissions improvement index per product. Which if sustained would mean roughly a 50% reduction from 2008 levels by the year 2030. We recognise this to be in line with the level of reduction called for by the Paris Agreement.

We will continue to undertake target reviews from a long-term perspective as a way of checking our contribution to the realisation of a low-carbon society.
