Canon EOS Rebel SL1

 

Canon's high-performing EOS Rebel SL1 is the tiniest digital SLR you can put your hands on, but it may be too small for some hands.

Compact design. Touch screen. Quick to start and focus. 4fps continuous shooting. Smooth live view focus experience. Microphone input. Good high ISO performance.

Limited Raw burst shooting. Pentamirror viewfinder. Fixed rear LCD. May be too small for some hands.

There aren't a lot of bells and whistles. Wi-Fi, which is becoming more common in interchangeable lens cameras, is absent here. Having wireless capability would be nice, as the SL1's size is clearly intended to be a carry-everywhere SLR. Though you can...

Canon EOS 100D (EOS Rebel SL1)

 

Note: We've used European (EOS 100D) and North American (Rebel SL1) versions of this camera. Most of the product photos are of the 100D version, but we'll refer to the camera primarily as the Rebel SL throughout this review. There are no functional...

Very small and light with good grip for small to medium-size hands ; High ISO shots are quite usable, even above ISO 6400 ; Excellent LCD and responsive touchscreen ; Special coating minimizes fingerprint smudges from touchscreen use ; Hybrid AF II /...

May be too small for those with larger hands ; Grip may be insufficient for use with larger lenses ; AF illuminator integrated into flash (must have flash engaged to use it) ; Flash produces red-eye in Night portrait mode ; Non-STM lenses struggle in...

The Canon EOS Rebel SL1 / 100D is an ideal camera for consumer users looking for better image quality, with improved live view and movie-mode autofocus in a small body. Its touchscreen interface offers a modern set of digital controls in a camera that...

Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 Review

 

Canon has long hinted that another path to competing with mirrorless entries from Nikon, Sony, Olympus and Panasonic lay in the miniaturization of its familiar SLR design. With the announcement of the EOS 100D / Rebel SL1, Canon has laid its cards on...

Canon took the standard Rebel and whittled it into a smaller body, removing only a few features, while adding one very important one: improved live view autofocus. The result is a mature camera for the family photographer that's not a burden to bring...

Canon's small dSLR simply isn't small enough

 

The Canon EOS Rebel SL1 tries to bring the dSLR camera to folks who want more compact dSLRs, but it just ends up in limbo.

Sized for small-to-medium hands, the ; delivers the expected photo and video quality in a comfortable and well-executed design.

It's pretty slim on features.

While the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 is a perfectly reasonable entry-level dSLR, you can get the same photo and video quality in a smaller body for the same money (or less) by opting for a mirrorless interchangeable-lens model.

Canon EOS Rebel SL1 ( with 18-55mm STM lens)

 

The result is a nice, fast, though somewhat feature-light, dSLR that I find very comfortable to grip one-handed. Then again, I have relatively diminutive hands compared with the more masculinely proportioned Josh Goldman (CNET's other digital imaging...

Canon EOS Rebel SL1 review

 

About six-and-a-half years ago, Olympus announced the E-Volt E-410, which at that point became the smallest dSLR ever. In the years since, I don't remember anybody attempting to match it for size. But given that it used a Four Thirds-size sensor --...

Based on the success of previous Canon EOS Rebel DSLR cameras, you'd expect the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 to be a very nice model. And you'd be right -- the Rebel SL1 provides some excellent features and performance speed in the entry-level DSLR camera...

Smaller size and lighter frame is definitely noticeable versus other DSLRs ; Seems to have a sturdy feel and good build quality ; SL1 remains easy to hold with well-sized right-hand grip, despite small camera body ; Extremely fast performance in...

Canon EOS Rebel SL1 / 100D Review

 

If impressive image quality in an extreme light weight & small size but still fully-capable, full-featured DSLR camera appeals to you, the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 / 100D has your name on it.

Canon EOS 100D Review

 

The Canon EOS 100D (called the Digital Rebel SL1 in North America) is the smallest and lightest APS-C DSLR ever made. The 18 megapixel 100D / SL1 offers a ‘Hybrid CMOS AF II' system with 80% frame coverage, a 3” ClearView II capacitive touchscreen LCD...

The EOS 100D / Rebel SL1 is the smallest and perhaps the most surprising DSLR camera that Canon have ever released. Nobody really expected this camera when it was unveiled alongside the more traditional EOS 700D. In many ways it perfectly straddles the...
