It is also one of the simplest cameras to use. Canon India markets the product as an ideal travel companion. The EOS 200D II is also known as EOS 250D in Europe, Kiss X10 in Japan and Rebel SL3 in USA. We received the body with the EF-S 18- 55 mm f/4-5.6 IS STM kit lens, as well as the EF-S 55-250 mm f/4-5.6, IS STM kit lens. The filter size on both the lenses is 58 mm. The body is available in silver, black or white. Let’s see how the EOS 200D II + the 18-55 mm lens performs on our test bench.

Design and Build Quality

The polycarbonate body has reasonably good build quality, and the overall finish is good. The body offers a deep grip, making the camera very comfortable to hold. The tripod socket is made of metal and so is the camera body mount. The EF-S 18-55 mm f/4-5.6 IS STM kit lens has a plastic mount. The lens extends by one inch when zoomed from the 18 to 55 mm setting. The camera body, as well as the kit lens, are made in Taiwan.
