The EOS 200D Mark II kit is the only new Canon DSLR whose price two retailers agreed on. This guide, focused on video and vlogging, covers verified new prices, safe used buying and the mirrorless cameras that have replaced DSLRs. See also DSLR Cameras price.

Top Recommendation for Video And Vlogging
For YouTubers, wedding videographers and anyone who films more than they photograph, our pick is the Canon EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera (Body Only) at Rs. 485,000: it uses a full-frame sensor, is built with video in mind, has fast autofocus and burst shooting and is sold body only, so budget for a lens. The reason is simple: good autofocus during recording, a flip screen and long recording times matter more than megapixels for video. If you want to spend less, the Canon EOS 200D Mark II with 18-55mm IS STM (New) at Rs. 165,000 is the most affordable choice here.
Buying a Used Canon DSLR
Canon EF and EF-S lenses work on EOS R bodies with Canon’s adapter, so a used Canon lens is never wasted. We do not list used prices, because no two shops agree on them. Compare several offers and test before you pay.
A used camera can save a lot of money if you check it properly. Ask for the shutter count and compare it to the rated life. Look at the sensor for scratches, test every button and dial, and check the lens for fungus or haze with a torch. Buy from sellers who allow testing and give a receipt.
Spending the Rest of Your Budget
The leftover Rs. 15,000 is best spent on an external microphone, which improves sound more than any camera upgrade or extra batteries and a fast V30 memory card for 4K.
Full-Frame, APS-C or Micro Four Thirds?
Sensor size shapes almost everything about a camera. Full-frame sensors handle low light best and give the shallowest depth of field. APS-C is the sweet spot for price, size and quality. Micro Four Thirds bodies and lenses are the smallest, which suits travel and video. Choose the format first, then the model.
