Looking online, this is the cheapest price I can find for the Canon Rebel T7 with lens, priced at just $505 – last time I wrote about this, it was priced at $529. The Canon Rebel T7 / EOS 2000D DSLR was released in 2018, yet it’s still selling in the thousands on Amazon, despite Canon’s best cameras switching over to mirrorless models entirely. If you’re looking for a digital camera with a manual controls, ability to change lenses, and larger sensor, then the 24MP Canon Rebel T7 / 2000D is currently the cheapest Canon camera that lets you change lenses, priced at $505 with lens, compared to Canon’s cheapest mirrorless model priced at $599 with lens.

As the Canon Rebel T7 / 2000D has been out for 7 years, you can easily find it for much less if you are happy to buy it second-hand (check how long the warranty is though). If you do want to buy a DSLR, then there are some real bargains to be found on used DSLRs and you could buy a better model in the Canon range (for less), but keep in mind that Pentax the only company still committed to the DSLR market.

Canon Rebel T7 / EOS 2000D at a glance:

  • 24.1MP APS-C CMOS sensor
  • 9-point AF system
  • Wi-Fi built-in
  • ISO 100-6400 (12,800 expanded)
  • Records up to Full HD (1080p) video at 30fps

Canon, and Nikon have both stopped making new DSLRs, stopped releasing new DSLR lenses (in EF mount), and DSLR accessories for them, and this is why buying used makes a lot more sense. In 2025 it’s difficult to find cameras for less than $500/£500, but if you look on the second-hand market then you can have your pick of the best, with even full-frame cameras available cheap.
