Amazing Camera!

I got this camera to get started on photography. Before this, I used a vixia camcorder. It began to break down, and I was worried this couldn't replace it....I was wrong. I am stunned by the video quality. Also, just using 2 megapixels, images are insanely sharp. I was worried that this wouldn't be as good as the t5i....but it meets all of my standards. Also, battery life is extremely long, which I need for shooting. Canon-great job on this camera! Who knew so much could fit inside such a little thing?

Awesome smallest DSLR by Canon
on June 7, 2013
Posted by: Div M,
Brought this few days back and have taken tons of pictures with AF and MF...awesome pics similar in comparison to some higher versions of Canon. Also small body doesn't make it less of features at all..Has almost everything and touch screen is very useful. Kit lens are nice but will prefer buying some more lenses. overall superb camera if you are looking for something light to travel...
Pros: good battery life, quiet, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use

Perfect for smaller hands.

My wife wanted to accompany me on the various photo outings, and to renew her interest in Photography. At one time, when the kids were at home, we all had our own 35mm cameras, and loved the art. She tried to use my DSLR and found that it was too heavy and too bulky for her smaller hands.As someone who had used SLR's in the past, Point & Shoot cameras just didn't make it. When Canon announced the SL1 around Mother's Day I ordered one for her. She has been out with me a few times and is just in love with the camera. She feels llke it was made just for her smaller hands. Needles to say, the photos have been spectacular, even as she re-learns how to take great pictures. In my view, the camera is perfect for what the designers had in mind.
Pros: Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, smaller size for smaller hands

The Clear Choice!

The Rebel SL1 is an exceptional APS-C camera. I purchased the body only version and use it with upgrade EF and EF-S lenses. It does exactly what you need it to do without all the unnecessary bells and whistles commonly found are more expensive models. My only recommendation on this camera is to always have an extra battery on hand. The wonderfully small size comes at a price. I'm not going to get in to many specifics in this review. Most of my comments are personal opinion although I must brag about one particular feature. Rebel models have a dedicated AV (+/-) exposure bias button easily accessible on the back of the camera. I can't imagine not having that button on the back. I don't understand for the life of me why supposed "advanced" camera models omit this feature. Being able to quickly and easily manually bracket exposure is so important. Getting it right in the field is always the best way to go. The supposed "advanced" models require two additional steps while fumbling through the internal menus to adjust exposure bias. Upgrade Rebel cameras are well designed and beautifully user friendly for advanced shooters. I am so tired of reading negative comments from online technical reviewers referring to Rebel cameras as entry level. Are you people serious?! There is no such thing as an entry level DSLR. They are all capable of capturing amazing photos in the hands of experienced users. For me when it comes to APS-C Canon camera models, upgrade Rebels are the clear choice. The more I learn about advanced photography, the more I believe this. Much of what is fed to us online is hype. Use your Rebel with pride! They rock!!

Love This Little DSLR

I bought this beauty in July 2012 and played around with it for a bit, shooting simple shots outside of our home, not adjusting any settings, I read the manual but I just like to keep it simple. I was moving from my Canon point and shoot (which I still love) to something a little more robust. Just recently I really started taking off buying more lenses (4 new ones) and an extra battery, this is a big deal for me. I absolutely love this camera and all of the great Canon lenses I have purchased. The camera is super light and the photos you can take with this just on AUTO, they look amazing, trust me. It is THE next camera you need from a point and shoot.
I would recommend this to a friend!
