Canon Camera EOS 250D 18-55 IS STM

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

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.

This kit comes with EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM and EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lenses great for landscape, portraits and near-silent focus when shooting movies.
