✅ Strengths

1. Fairly versatile all-rounder. Good photo quality, respectable autofocus especially in Live View thanks to Dual Pixel AF.
2. 4K video is a nice addition over older models like the EOS 800D.
3. Articulated screen is helpful for vlogging, high/low angles, etc.
4. Strong battery life (especially vs many mirrorless cameras).
5. EF / EF-S lens mount gives access to a large existing ecosystem of lenses.
6. Lightweight for a DSLR, still solid.

⚠️ Limitations / Things to be Aware Of

1. In 4K mode, the camera uses a cropped portion of the sensor, reducing the field of view. Also, in many 4K modes, it doesn’t use Dual Pixel AF, meaning autofocus is slower / less accurate. Amateur Photographer+2DPReview+2
2. Compared to newer mirrorless models, it is bulkier, and less “future-proof” in terms of the speed of autofocus or advanced video features. Amateur Photographer
3. Single SD card slot, and uses UHS-I (slower write speeds compared to UHS-II) which may affect buffer clearing for burst photography. Amateur Photographer+1
4. Though image quality is good, noise performance isn’t as good at very high ISOs; detail tends to suffer above ISO 6400–12,800 if pushing too far. Amateur Photographer

🔎 With the 18-55mm IS STM Lens

The 18-55mm IS STM is the standard kit zoom. When paired:

1. Provides a useful focal range roughly equivalent to 28.8-88mm in full-frame terms (due to the APS-C 1.6× crop). Good for general purpose, everyday shooting.
2. It has image stabilization (IS) which helps especially in low light or handheld shots, reducing blur.
3. STM (Stepping Motor) helps with quieter and smoother autofocus, particularly useful if shooting video or using Live View.

However:

1. It's not very wide (at 18mm) if you want landscapes or tight indoor shots. You may want a wider lens later (e.g. 10-18mm or 10-22mm EF-S wide angle).
2. At longer zoom (55mm) and in low light, it’s going to be slower / less sharp than some more expensive lenses; but as “kit lens” it’s decent.
