Canon’s triple-digit DSLR series has a long and distinguished history. Back in 2003, the original EOS 300D was the first sub-£1000 DSLR, a price breakthrough that kick-started the decisive shift by enthusiast photographers from film to digital. The latest EOS 850D marks the line’s twelfth generation and was originally announced in February last year, although its appearance in the shops was heavily delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
