Sydney, Australia 10th April 2019: Canon Australia today announces the launch of the Canon EOS 200D Mark II. Perfect for families looking to step-up from smartphone photography or upgrade from their existing camera, the EOS 200D Mark II is a fun and easy-to-use DSLR packed with the latest technology that provides users with a formidable introduction to interchangeable lens photography in a small and lightweight body.

Successor to Canon’s multi-award winning EOS 200D, the EOS 200D Mark II features Canon’s Guided Display—a user-friendly interface for easy operation to give you a kick start into the world of photography.

Combining straightforward handling in a lightweight and compact body, the EOS 200D Mark II enables the whole family to enjoy capturing life’s experiences, whenever, wherever. The Guided Display user interface makes this effortless from the moment the camera is switched on, with on-screen hints and tips to ensure everyone is getting the most out of the camera. It is also easy for users to capture their experiences in imaginative ways with Canon’s Creative Assist feature, a suite of effects, filters and colour adjustment tools to apply to photographs when composing an image or after it has been taken.

Canon’s DIGIC 8 image processor supports a variety of improvements in Live View autofocus precision and Eye detection AF, Auto Lighting Optimizer, Digital Lens Optimizer and Highlight Tone Priority for sharp high-resolution images ready to share straight from the camera. The 24.1 Megapixel sensor performs well in low-light and facilitates a shallow depth of field, adding beautiful background bokeh to treasured family portraits. The camera’s cutting-edge technology combined with its ease of use make the EOS 200D Mark II the perfect DSLR for those wanting to capture precious family moments so they can be enjoyed for generations to come.

The EOS 200D Mark II is a camera for every occasion. Its intuitive Vari-Angle touchscreen enables comfortable shooting from a variety of angles, making family selfies a joy or recording a vlog effortless. Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology will also keep family and friends in sharp focus when shooting stills and video via the touchscreen. Delivering a classic shooting experience, the EOS 200D Mark II features an optical viewfinder with a responsive 9-point AF, so moments can be framed clearly and as they were seen with the naked eye.

When images and videos are ready to be shared, the EOS 200D Mark II allows easy connectivity with smart devices¹ via Bluetooth®² and Wi-Fi using the free Canon Camera Connect app for iOS and Android. From here, images and videos can be downloaded to a smart device, reviewed and posted on social media or shared with friends and family.

The Canon Camera Connect app also facilitates shooting remotely from a smart device, perfect for capturing family group shots or a hands-free selfie. Images can then be sent to a paired smart device as soon as they are taken via the Automatic Image Transfer function, delivering peace of mind that cherished memories are safely backed-up.
