Canon EOS 4000D / Rebel T100: Performance
Autofocus through the viewfinder is taken care of via the same nine-point phase-detect AF module employed by the 2000D and 200D. This has been lifted straight from the 1300D and while it’s functional enough, it does feel a bit basic next to some of the Hybrid AF systems employed by many mirrorless cameras.
The nine AF points are arranged in diamond formation across a large portion of the viewfinder, and while focus is quick and accurate in good light, performance does take a hit when light levels drop, especially when trying to use one of the eight non cross-type AF points to lock-on to your subject.

In live view the 4000D’s contrast-detect AF system is painfully slow even when light is plentiful. So slow, in fact, that it actively discourages you from using it. Canon’s clever Dual Pixel technology resolves these issues and significantly improves overall focus performance in live view, however the cheapest Canon DSLR to offer it is the 200D.
Image quality is something of a mixed bag, with the bottom line being that while the 4000D’s 18MP APS-C sensor is capable of delivering very good image quality in the right conditions, the 24MP APS-C sensors inside the 2000D and 200D/250D are capable of better.

The supplied EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS III kit zoom is also highly susceptible to fringing on high-contrast borders. That said, first-time DSLR buyers upgrading directly from a mobile phone or small-sensor compact are unlikely to be disappointed by the 4000D and will undoubtedly benefit from a noticeable step-up in image quality.
Indeed, for anyone who’s looking to primarily shoot JPEGs in one of the camera’s many point-and-shoot modes, the 4000D routinely delivers the same punchy image quality associated with more-expensive Canon DSLRs higher up the line. Colour is certainly hard to fault, and can of course be tweaked as you like via Canon’s various Picture Style settings.
Resolution
Set to ISO 100 and raw, the 4000D can resolve 3,200l/ph with careful processing. At its higher sensitivity settings, sharpness falls off rapidly, with ISO 3200 recording 2,400l/ph. The highest extended setting of ISO 12,800 resolves just 2,200l/ph. For JPEGs the results are generally around 200l/ph lower.

Noise
The 4000D provides clean results at low ISO settings, although a little noise creeps into shadow areas at ISO 800. By ISO 1600 fine detail starts to soften and at IS0 3200 image quality degrades much more noticeably accompanied by a muting of colour. At ISO 6400 this is more pronounced, while the top setting of ISO 12,800 produces soft, mushy images and is best avoided altogether if at all possible.

What will happen when you reach your Canon EOS Rebel T100 / 4000D camera’s shutter count lifespan?
The majority of cameras come with a specified shutter lifespan, and the Canon EOS Rebel T100 / 4000D is no exception, with a shutter life expectancy of 100,000 actuations. However, reaching this point should not cause undue concern.
Rest assured, your camera will continue to function normally. Personally, my team has multiple cameras with over 100k actuations, and they still perform flawlessly.
Simply keep capturing those moments and, most importantly, enjoy using your camera!
Now, if you’re a professional photographer like myself, and you rely on photography for income, it is advisable to have a backup camera body on hand in case the shutter fails during crucial shoots.
As a professional photographer, this situation is undoubtedly one of my worst nightmares.
Canon EOS 4000D / Rebel T100: Verdict
The Canon EOS 4000D provides a no-frills entry-point to Canon’s DSLR ecosystem for those on the tightest of budgets. Whilst now discontinued, like the EOS 1300D, this is one of the cheaper DSLRs on the second-hand market. In its favour the 4000D is very easy to use and capable of good image quality. That said, both the 2000D and especially the 250D provide better image quality and more growing space for first-time DSLR buyers to develop their skills, and are also available second-hand making them an obviously better choice.

The other issue still facing the EOS 4000D is the older EOS 1300D model, which is even cheaper second-hand. For more money the 4000D offers no discernible image quality or performance benefits over the 1300D. We’d therefore be inclined to recommend the 1300D, or any other Canon DLSR available second hand, such as the 2000D, 200D, or 250D. For those with a little more to spend the Canon EOS 2000D is undoubtedly a better camera, and only a little bit more second-hand, while the slightly more expensive EOS 250D remains the stand-out option within Canon’s trio of entry-level DSLRs.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
Canon Eos T100 is very similar to its sister, T7. They both have a good same-size APS-C sensor, but the first one has “only” 18 Megapixels, while the second one has 24 of them. The ISO range is between 100 and 6,400, expandable up to 12,800. Extremely valuable is the versatile autofocus that follows moving subjects with reliability.
Besides, this camera also offers:
- APS-C Sensor, CMOS technology, size 22.3×14.9mm, 3:2 ratio
- AF point selection: through optical viewfinder, 9 AF Manual points or in liveview mode on LCD display
- Mechanical shutter with selectable speed between 30 seconds and 1/4000s; with Bulb mode you can select the exposure time to your liking
- Pentamirror viewfinder, with 95% coverage and 0,80x maximum zoom
- 7” (6.8 cm) LCD Display with 230,000 dots and 100% coverage
- Integrated flash with 1/200s synchro speed
- Shooting mode: Auto smart scene, Automatic creative, Portrait, Landscape, Close ups, Sports, Food, Night portrait, AE program, AE with shutter priority, AE with aperture priority, Manual, Video
- Burst mode: 3fps
- Video: Full HD, 30p
Finally, it needs to be noted that the autonomy is more than satisfying, with an average of 500 shots.
Its connectivity, via Bluetooth or Wi-fi, is thought for Social Media fans and it transfers the images to the devices quickly. Those who prefer post-production can shoot in RAW mode. Wired connection has a HDMI port and a Mini-USB port, even if it would have been better if it had a Micro-USB port, more common and up-to-date.
Autofocus
- 9-point AF system feels dated
- Coverage biased towards center of frame
- Sluggish Live View performance
The EOS Rebel T100 / EOS 4000D uses an AF system that’s the best part of 10 years old, and sure enough the 9-point system feels really dated. Coverage is basically limited to the centre of the frame, with the points in a diamond formation, so be prepared to re-frame your subject if they’re off-centre.
Performance-wise, with a single (and more sensitive) cross-type sensor at the center of the array the system will be fine for general shooting with static subjects, but it may struggle when light levels drop or when subjects are moving.
Canon’s brilliant Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology has always impressed, allowing for quick focusing speeds in Live View mode (using the rear screen rather than the viewfinder); this is something a lot of rival DSLRs struggle with, so it’s disappointing not to see it on the EOS Rebel T100 / EOS 4000D.
Instead, you’re stuck with sluggish focusing speeds, a far cry from the performance of even some of the most affordable mirrorless cameras – not that you’ll want to use Live View that much given the poor screen.

TAKING PICTURES WITH CANON EOS REBEL T100
Like any tool designed for beginners, our camera is docile and a little “mechanical”. One afternoon and a quick reading of the manual are enough to get acquainted with the basics and the navigation commands, and with its practical functions. However, this is both a plus and a minus for the device, which doesn’t offer great possibilities of parameters modulation, except through the selection of shooting modes.
It is absolutely obvious that Canon REBEL T100 was specifically created to support and to be a test for whoever needs an instrument that can get by in every situation. The idea behind it is that the photographers could move freely without the weight of a heavy equipment and capture images “on the go”, letting themselves be inspired by what their eyes see and like in that moment.
Careful, though, not to overestimate the (good) abilities of this camera, which really struggles in low light conditions, due to the ISO – they should never be higher than 1600, not to fall into annoying digital noise. Another thing to keep in mind is that the camera is not mirrorless nor it has an electronic shutter: it’s not the right camera to take pictures in theaters, where everybody would look at you at the sound of “ta-tlack”, typical of reflex cameras.
Build and handling
- Plasticky feel overall
- Logical button placement
- Plastic lens mount
The EOS 4000D looks very similar to its entry-level sibling, EOS 2000D, but there are a number of differences when you look a little closer.
For starters, while there’s a textured coating on the chunky front grip, Canon has done away with it for the rear thumb rest, and the lens mount is plastic, rather than the more durable metal of the EOS 2000D; if you’re not often going to be switching lenses this might not be a concern, but if you’re looking to regularly swap optics it’s something to consider, as plastic is more susceptible to wear.
While these design choices do bring a slight weight saving over the EOS 2000D, they make the EOS 4000D feel even more plasticky.
The EOS 4000D has also done away with a dedicated on/off switch – instead there’s now an ‘off’ setting on the mode dial on the top of the camera. Speaking of the mode dial, the normally green-labelled ‘Scene Intelligent Auto’ mode is now the same color as all the other settings, allowing Canon to cut costs further, and yet more penny pinching has been carried out at the rear, with the icons for the controls printed on the body, rather than on each individual button.
That said, the button configuration is easy to understand and navigate for the new user, while the ‘Q’ (short for Quick Menu) button enables you to quickly access and adjust commonly used settings.
As we’ve also moaned about with the EOS 2000D, the absence of Canon’s clean-looking graphical interface, as found on the EOS Rebel T7i / EOS 800D and EOS Rebel SL2 / EOS 200D, is disappointing.
All in all it’s not what we’d expect from a DSLR in 2018. The reduction in screen size to 2.7 inches, together with the drop in resolution, makes you feel like you’re stepping back in time by about five years when you use this camera.

FAQs
Should I worry about a high shutter count?
If you shoot a lot, especially at events, your camera’s shutter count will rise quickly. But don’t worry! Most cameras can exceed their limits and function without issues.When buying a used camera, avoid high shutter counts (around 100,000+).
While it doesn’t mean instant failure, it increases the chance of future shutter problems. Cameras often outlast their expected lifespan
Is it possible to reset the shutter count?
Most cameras have built-in software that makes it extremely difficult to access and modify their settings. Resetting the shutter count intentionally is not possible.
To reset the shutter count, you would need to replace the actual shutter mechanism. Generally, the counter restarts only when a new shutter is installed following a failure of the previous one.
How do I know if my shutter is failing?
If you find that your images are consistently overexposed or underexposed, regardless of the settings you use, it could be a sign of shutter failure.
Additionally, if you observe strong light streaks across your photos or notice issues with the shutter not opening or closing correctly, it’s advisable to take your camera to a service center for inspection and repairs.
Can I replace the shutter?
Yes, you can have the shutter replaced at a service center. The cost typically ranges from $300 to $500, depending on the camera model.
If you’re looking for a more affordable option, you might consider replacing the shutter yourself. However, this can be challenging without the right tools and experience, and you may end up causing further damage.
While there are online guides available for self-replacement, it’s best to seek professional repair for your camera. If you have a high shutter count, save up for repair or consider upgrading to a new camera.
Canon EOS 4000D/Rebel T100 Review Summary
If you’re searching for an entry-level DSLR there has to be a capping on expectations.
Realistically, this is a good camera for any beginner. If you do not expect something out of the ordinary and your expectations and reasonable you will enjoy using this camera.
It shoots great stills in good light, shoots full HD videos, and comes with built-in Wi-Fi to transfer videos and stills seamlessly to a compatible device.
What else can you expect? Sure, it does not have a fast frame rate or lightning-quick autofocus, but then this camera is not aimed at enthusiasts.
It does not hide its limitations.
If you can work around those you will enjoy using this camera.

Canon EOS 4000D / Rebel T100: Alternatives and Rivals
As mentioned, there isn’t really a contemporary analogue to the Canon EOS 4000D, as the mirrorless market doesn’t really go in for ultra-cheap entry-level cameras. The 4000D’s stablemates, the EOS 2000D (or Rebel T7) and EOS 250D (Rebel SL3), are still available second-hand and even new in some places, and time has been kinder to them. The EOS 250D in particular has gained a reputation as one of the best beginner DSLRs ever made, with a solidly fast processor, a decent amount of resolution, the ability to record 4K at 25p. It’s quite a bit pricier than the EOS 4000D, but it’s streets ahead.
But what about from other manufacturers? The closest Nikon equivalent is certainly the Nikon D3500, an absolutely stellar entry-level DSLR that is still well-regarded in the photographic community despite having been discontinued. This is now only available on the used market.
Of course, it does bear repeating that the Canon EOS 4000D is the cheapest out of everything we’ve mentioned here. But does it do enough to justify the money you need to spend on it, however little that may be? Let’s dig in and find out.

Body comparison
The side-by-side display below illustrates the physical size and weight of the Canon 4000D and the Canon T100. The two cameras are presented according to their relative size. Three consecutive perspectives from the front, the top, and the back are available. All width, height and depth measures are rounded to the nearest millimeter.
In this particular case, the Canon 4000D and the Canon T100 have exactly the same width and height,
and, thus, have identically-sized bodies. Moreover, the two cameras also share the same weight. In this context, it is worth noting that neither the 4000D nor the T100 are weather-sealed.
The above size and weight comparisons are to some extent incomplete since they do not consider the interchangeable lenses
that both of these cameras require. In this particular case, both cameras feature the same lens mount, so that they can use the same lenses.
You can compare the optics available in the Canon EF Lens Catalog.
The adjacent table lists the principal physical characteristics of the two cameras alongside a wider set of alternatives. If you would like to visualize and compare a different camera combination, you can navigate to the CAM-parator app and

Any camera decision will obviously take relative prices into account. The manufacturer’s suggested retail prices give an idea on the placement of the camera in the maker’s lineup and the broader market. The two cameras under review were launched at the same price and fall into the same market segment. Normally, street prices remain initially close to the MSRP, but after a couple of months, the first discounts appear. Later in the product cycle and, in particular, when the replacement model is about to appear, further discounting and stock clearance sales often push the camera price considerably down. Then, after the new model is out, very good deals can frequently be found on the pre-owned market.
CANON REBEL T100: CONTROLS AND CAMERA BODY
Holding this Canon for the first time, one of the first thing you notice (alas!) is the shell in resin; we’re right in front of one of those tricks that make the price of the camera low.
However, if we move on, we can immediately see the compact size that, together with the ergonomic design and the really low weight, make the camera quite light and easy to handle.
The touch control interface (buttons, rings, arrow keys) is classic Canon’s: rather easy, since most of the settings selectable with the back small wheel provide a wide set of shooting modes.
Other features are:
- Shoe mount for the optional external flash
- 2.7” fixed display, non-touchscreen
- Small wheel for aperture
How to Check the Shutter Count on Canon EOS Rebel T100 / 4000D
Checking the shutter count is relatively easy and you don’t need to be a tech-savvy person to do it. All you need is your camera, a computer, an internet connection, and (some money to pay for the app).
You have several options available to check the shutter actuation:
Paid:
- Shuttercheck – $10. Works with all Canon Cameras. OS: macOS
- EOSSMG – $5. Works with all Canon Cameras. OS: Windows
- ShutterCount Mobile – €8.99 / $7.99. Works with all Canon Cameras. OS: macOS & iOS
- Free shutter count – free up to 1000 actuations OS: Windows & macOS. Newer mirrorless cameras are not supported but it worked with my Canon EOS RP & Canon 6D. Worth a try if you have less than 1000 shutter clicks.
Free:
Try them at your own risk. Unfortunately, most of these apps only support previous versions and fewer Canon models.
- Camera shutter count – web app
- Canon EOS Digital Info – Windows
- Exiftool – Windows
- Opanda – Windows
Screenshot from ShutterCheck
These are the best ways to check your camera’s shutter count.
If you happen to own a modern DSLR camera, I highly recommend considering the option of investing in a paid app. These apps, available for a one-time fee, offer a range of valuable features and functionalities tailored to read your camera’s shutter count accurately.
And to make your money’s worth, some of these apps support older and newer generation mirrorless and DSLR cameras from different brands.
Wondering how they work? These tools make use of the camera’s serial number and the EXIF data from my images to precisely calculate the shutter count.

Both the 4000D and the T100 are recent models that are part of the current product line-up. Neither of the two has a direct predecessor, so perhaps they will constitute the origins of new camera lines for Canon. Further information on the features and operation of the 4000D and T100 can be found, respectively, in the
Canon 4000D Manual (free pdf) or the
online Canon T100 Manual.
Sensor comparison with a 35mm slide
The imaging sensor is at the core of digital cameras and its size is one of the main determining factors of image quality. A large sensor will tend to have larger individual pixels that provide better low-light sensitivity, wider , and richer than smaller pixel-units in a sensor of the same technological generation. Further, a large sensor camera will give the photographer additional creative options when using shallow to isolate a subject from its background. On the downside, larger sensors are more costly to manufacture and tent to lead to bigger and heavier cameras and lenses.
The Canon T100 features an APS-C sensor and has a format factor
(sometimes also referred to as «crop factor») of 1.6. Within the spectrum of camera sensors, this places the Canon T100 among the medium-sized sensor cameras
that aim to strike a balance between image quality and portability.
Since 2007, DXO Mark has published sensor performance measurements that have been derived using a consistent methodology. This service assesses and scores the color depth («DXO Portrait»), dynamic range («DXO Landscape»), and low-light sensitivity («DXO Sports») of camera sensors, and also publishes an overall camera score. The table below summarizes the physical sensor characteristics and sensor quality findings and compares them across a set of similar cameras.

Many modern cameras are not only capable of taking still images, but also of capturing video footage. The T100 indeed provides movie recording capabilities. The highest resolution format that the T100 can use is 1080/30p.
Continuous Shooting
Both cameras have a maximum continuous shooting rate of 3.0fps (frames per second). However, as they also have the same DIGIC 4+ processing engine, the lower resolution 4000D has a slight advantage, it can shoot at 3fps until the inserted memory card is full with jpeg images. The 24Mp 2000D can only shoot at 3fps for 150 jpegs – but to be fair that means it can shoot for 50 seconds, which is likely to be more than enough for most occasions.

Compared To Other Cameras
The Canon Rebel T100 is an entry-level budget DSLR camera. It’s about as simple a DSLR as you can get, with a limited set of features and physical controls. Its low cost is also apparent in its build quality, which feels notably less robust than pricier models. On the flip side, its simplicity and affordable price make this a solid option for beginners or for those who want to get into «proper» photography on a very tight budget.

Canon EOS Rebel T7 / EOS 2000D
The Canon EOS Rebel T7 / EOS 2000D is a bit better than the Canon EOS Rebel T100 / EOS 4000D, though they’re very similar overall. Both are simple, budget DSLR cameras that can be paired with Canon EF-S or EF lenses. That said, while both use APS-C sensors, the T7’s has a higher resolution, making for slightly more detailed images with a bit more leeway to crop. The T7 also has a slightly larger, higher-resolution screen, and its materials feel a bit higher quality, but otherwise, the two cameras perform very similarly.

The Nikon D3500 is better than the Canon EOS Rebel T100 / EOS 4000D. Both are entry-level DSLRs with APS-C sensors, but the Nikon feels a little better constructed and has a higher-resolution sensor and better processor, resulting in better overall image quality. The D3500 also has a faster burst rate, a much longer battery life, and includes a built-in Guide Mode to walk new users through the camera’s features.
Canon EOS 4000D/Rebel T100 Image Quality
The first thing that I am going to talk about in image quality is color reproduction. Every camera manufacturer adds its touch when it comes to color reproduction.
The world of photography is not biased towards any one particular brand when it comes to color reproduction straight out of the camera.
Some prefer Canon. Some prefer Nikon, just as many prefer Sony and other brands.
Canon has always been a favorite among many. The JPEG images SOOC of the EOS 4000D are natural and beautiful.
That said skin tones can be a bit over the top. But then this is a personal opinion, and you are free to have a different opinion about the colors.
I come straight to the point about the next important thing and that is noise in your images.
APS-C sensors, especially the ones that do not include BSI technology don’t perform so well in low-light conditions.
Thanks at least the sensor does not have a large number of pixels. Otherwise packing too many pixels would have made the individual sensors too small and susceptible to noise.
The native ISO of the EOS 4000D goes from 100 to 6400. This sensor is not designed to be ISO invariant.
Tip – don’t push the ISO number too high. Stay within a reasonable range and you will be able to capture clear images.
Pushing the ISO too high, especially when shooting in low light conditions will produce noise.

Connectivity
Both cameras have Wi-Fi connectivity built-in, but the 2000D also has an NFC chip whereas the 4000D doesn’t. That chip in the 2000D is useful for Android smartphone and tablet users because it enables the camera and smart device to be connected with just a tap. Photographers who use iOS devices can connect their camera using a password.
The wireless connectivity is useful for those occasions when you want to control the camera remotely, perhaps to take a group shot with yourself in it, or when you want to transfer images to your phone to share on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram etc.
