The editors liked
The lens
While obviously made down to a price
Is very fine
Delivering consistently sharp and detailed images. By keeping the zoom range to a modest 3X there are few
In any
Optical compromises. It is one of the best kit lenses we have tested.
Good ergonomics for its small size
Good image and video quality
Simple
Easy to operate
Small body size
Touchscreen
Great image quality
Good design including rubberised handgrip Creative filters feature live preview Strikingly small body
Extremely compact and lightweight. Excellent touchscreen. Very good image quality
The editors didn't like
The viewfinder is a little cramped and dim by comparison with DSLRs with true prism finders. This is nitpicking and certainly no deal breaker
No sensor improvements since 550D
Cheap construction
Overall system still large
Art filters only usable in Live View
Slow Live View focusing
Similar price to the Canon EOS 700D AF system only features one cross
Type point Small design means small battery
Some users might find the design a little cramped. No built-in Wi-Fi. Short battery life compared to other SLRs
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
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....

Abstract: Canon's latest rebel is the smallest DSLR everWhat's hot: Tiny body that makes great images What's not: No built-in Wi-Fi; burst tops out at 4 fps Who it's for: People who want a small, affordable camera with all the power of a DSLRThe whole point of the ...
The Canon SL1 is a hit. I had a blast using this camera – it was the most fun I have had with a DSLR since the 5D Mark II came out nearly 5 years ago. Spec-wise, there’s nothing that special about the camera; however, when you put Canon’s little 40mm p...
Smallest and lightest DSLR we've ever reviewed, Delivers very good image quality, almost exactly the same as the Canon T4i/T5i, but in a tiny package; all three cameras share the same APS-C-type, 18-megapixel CMOS sensor, Very accomplished at shooting ...
Despite its reduced size, body not as small as most compact system cameras because it still has to accommodate the DSLR mirror, LCD is not articulating (like it is on the T4i/T5i), Dynamic range and high ISO performance not as good as some competing mo...
In many ways, the Canon SL1 provides the best of both worlds, pairing the compact, lightweight body of a mirrorless camera and the performance and image quality of a DSLR. You could almost call it a miniaturized version of Canon's Rebel T4i/T5i DSLRs. ...
Abstract: 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.The SL1 (AKA EOS Kiss X7 in Japan and EOS 100D in Europe/Asia/Oceania...
Abstract: But wait! Before you sneak a Nikon D800E into your baby's basket of toys, you'll need to consider choking hazards and the fact that some children are a lot more careful (read: girls) than others (read: boys) when it comes to handling expensive electronics...

Sized for small-to-medium hands, the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 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.
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 d...
