Canon EOS Rebel SL2 review
With plenty of new features and tech, the SL2 easily outshines its predecessor -- but not much else.
Compact size ; Fast live-view autofocus ; Articulating touchscreen ; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ; Easy to use
Nine-point AF system when using viewfinder ; Small viewfinder ; Outclassed by mirrorless rivals
After four years, the Rebel SL2 is a significant improvement over the original. Everything but the AF system (when using the viewfinder) has changed. The inclusion of an articulating monitor, touchscreen, wireless connectivity, and a new sensor with...

Canon EOS Rebel SL2
The Canon EOS Rebel SL2 is the smallest SLR camera in the company's lineup. It boasts a modern 24MP image sensor, but its autofocus system isn't as good as the larger T7i.
Really small and light. 24MP APS-C image sensor. Dual Pixel AF in Live View. Vari-angle touch LCD. Microphone input. Guided user interface. Wi-Fi.
Dated nine-point focus system. Some focus lag in live view. Small Raw shooting buffer. Video limited to 1080p.
The SL2 is a solid option for any entry-level user in search of an SLR, but it's by no means bleeding edge in terms of performance. It's not the absolute best at anything it does, but it does a lot of things well. Image quality is much better than what...

Canon EOS Rebel SL2 / EOS 200D Shooting Experience
The EOS Rebel SL2 (also known as the EOS 200D) is one of Canon's entry-level DSLRs and impressively compact. To recreate what a new photographer who just picked up the SL2 would experience, we put the camera into auto mode and headed to the zoo.

Canon renews its dSLR for tinyish hands in the Rebel SL2
It's a little bigger than its predecessor, the SL1, but it includes the most necessary updates.

Canon EOS Rebel SL2
The Good. Canon took its most affordable DSLR (the SL1) and stuffed it with a better image sensor and one of the best (video) AutoFocus systems on the market today. At less than $650 for the kit, this budget-friendly DSLR features a guided menu system,...

Canon SL2 Review
Canon's compact "mini DSLR" gains some much-needed upgrades. With a higher-res 24MP APS-C sensor, Dual Pixel AF, a faster DIGIC 7 processor as well as improved ergonomics, a vari-angle touchscreen and wireless connectivity, the Rebel SL2 offers better...
Higher resolution and better image quality than SL1; Much improved dynamic range; Excellent Dual Pixel CMOS AF; Compact body with improved ergonomics; Articulating touchscreen; Full HD movies up to 60p; Better battery life.
Shallow buffer depth with RAW files; Dynamic range and high ISO performance still not as good as leading competitors; No 4K video option; OVF only offers 9 AF points.
