The Canon EOS 4000D (also sold as Rebel T100 and Kiss X90) shoots CR2 files. Consumer Canon CR2 bodies do not embed an in-file mechanical shutter count — but ShutterCount can still read full EXIF metadata from your CR2 files.
Try ShutterCount →The Canon EOS 4000D (February 2018) is the most entry-level DSLR Canon produced, designed to offer a compelling price point for first-time DSLR buyers worldwide. It features an 18 MP APS-C CMOS sensor with the DIGIC 4+ processor, Wi-Fi with the Canon Camera Connect app, and an EF/EF-S mount for access to Canon's broad lens ecosystem. The body is compact and lightweight (436 g with battery and card), with a simplified control layout and a 2.7-inch fixed LCD — smaller than most contemporaries. It shoots at 3 fps burst and records Full HD 1080p video.
| Camera | Release | Sensor | Format | Shutter Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canon EOS 4000D | 2018 | 18 MP APS-C | CR2 | Not in file |
| Canon EOS 2000D | 2018 | 24.1 MP APS-C | CR2 | Not in file |
| Canon EOS 250D | 2019 | 24.1 MP APS-C | CR3 | Supported |
| Canon EOS 850D | 2020 | 24.1 MP APS-C | CR3 | Supported |
Without an in-file shutter count, the best practical options are:
Canon rated the 4000D shutter at approximately 100,000 actuations, consistent with other entry-level DSLRs.
| Estimated Actuations | % of Rated Life | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| 0 – 10,000 | 0 – 10 % | Very lightly used |
| 10,000 – 40,000 | 10 – 40 % | Light to moderate use |
| 40,000 – 70,000 | 40 – 70 % | Moderate to heavy use |
| 70,000 – 90,000 | 70 – 90 % | High use — negotiate price |
| 90,000 + | 90 %+ | Near or past rated life |
Beyond shutter usage, inspect the LP-E10 battery (capacity degrades; original 2018 cells may be near end of life), the sensor for dust, and the 2.7-inch LCD. If sold with the 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 III kit lens, check for fungal growth and smooth zoom/focus operation.
Both were released simultaneously in 2018. The 2000D upgrades to a 24.1 MP sensor (vs the 4000D's 18 MP), adds NFC in addition to Wi-Fi, and has a larger 3-inch LCD (vs 2.7 inches on the 4000D). The 2000D also has a slightly larger body with more physical controls. Both share the same DIGIC 4+ processor, EF/EF-S mount, and LP-E10 battery. The 4000D was designed as the absolute entry-level option to maximize affordability.
The 4000D body has no in-body image stabilization. Stabilization depends entirely on the lens: the kit 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 III lens does not include IS (unlike Canon's 18–55mm IS lenses sold with higher-tier bodies). If stabilization is important, look for a used 4000D paired with an IS-equipped lens, such as the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM.
Yes. The 4000D uses the standard Canon EF/EF-S mount and accepts all Canon EF lenses (full-frame) as well as EF-S lenses designed for APS-C bodies. With the 1.6× crop factor, a 50mm EF lens provides an equivalent field of view of 80mm. Third-party EF-mount lenses from Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina are also compatible.
At its typical used price (often under €100), the 4000D offers excellent value as an introduction to DSLR photography. Its 18 MP sensor captures good detail in daylight, and access to Canon's EF/EF-S lens ecosystem is a genuine advantage. Limitations include the small LCD, no articulating screen, modest burst speed (3 fps), and no 4K video. For video-focused beginners, a mirrorless body like the Canon EOS M50 or R50 would be preferable.
