canon uk just announced the 2000D and 4000D £369 and £329 . Anyone short on cash can now afford a new dslr .

Just might inject some new life into the forum, yes they are basic but the 2000D has the 24mp sensor add to that the cheap 10-18,18-55 and 55-250 you get a great start for not a lot.

What's the point of the 4000d? PLASTIC MOUNT? Recycled 550d parts? In 2018? For more than the 1300d? Its not April yet, Canon!

I had to smile at some of the cost-saving measures on the 4000D - there's the ugly plastic mount (which has been done before by film EOS models and Sony has had digitals with them too) but a particularly amusing one, actually explained by a Canon rep, was that all the labelling on the camera is in white to save money by not using blue and green paint for some of the icons, as is usual! Then I see there's no power switch as an EOS in this family would normally have - you use the mode dial to turn it off and on - plus a "pull it up yourself" flash head - again, something which has been done before (such as on Canon superzooms and other brands) - and I see the telltale tabs on the flash head for the new EOS M50 mirrorless, too.

Another thing I just spotted that is missing is a dioptric correction dial (eyesight adjustment) - that's a first.  Like some of the other cheaper EOS models (including the new 4000D) I see it also lacks automatic dust reduction on power up and/or down.
