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
Smaller and lighter build makes carrying DSLR body and lens less of a dra, yet more compact proportions haven’t obviously compromised picture quality
The lighter construction results in more obvious camera shake in lower ligh, no angle adjustable LCD plus a smaller handgrip than the 700D which costs just 50 quid more

In short those used to DSLRs will find much familiar on the 100D, whilst those upgrading from an iPhone will soon familiarise themselves
Extremely compact body for a DSLR with builtin flash, Excellent screen: multitouch controls, accurate display calibration, Userfriendly handling, simple and effective controls, Responsiveness: very fast to use, Picture quality: perfectly usable up to 3200
1855 STM kit lens isn't great: sharpness could be better, too bulky, Sound recorded in mono
With the EOS 100D, Canon has effectively made a mini version of its 650D. This compact DSLR has the same main strengths as its full-sized counterpart, with a user-friendly design, a good sensor, quality electronics and an excellent screen. Plus, this mini...
I really enjoyed using the Canon EOS 100D. In terms of size, it certainly doesnt feel like the body is much of a compromise and it packs in all the features that would be expected from a mid-range enthusiast DSLR.Even used with slightly larger lenses...
Canon has miniaturised the digital SLR with the EOS 100D. If you want a small camera, but absolutely have to have a proper viewfinder, this is your best bet at the moment. It's surprisingly usable given its tiny dimensions, although its 18-megapixel senso...
Good design including rubberised handgrip, Creative filters feature live preview, Strikingly small body
Similar price to the Canon EOS 700D, AF system only features one cross-type point, Small design means small battery
The Canon EOS 100D is an excellent DSLR that presents an interesting alternative to CSCs in terms of specification and size, as well as fitting in well with Canon's entry-level DSLR selection.Although it's a lot more expensive than Canon's current entry-l...

Small size, autofocus is swift, no compromise to image quality, live view responsive, touchscreen, engineering marvel in many respects, battery life lasted well
Small size, less advanced AF system than 700D and similar Canon models, less featured than 700D and similar models, viewfinder settings not particularly bright, some viewfinder AF point bleed
The EOS 100D may be small, but it still manages to pack in the power and we've generally been impressed. But, in saying that, you'll need to really want a smaller-scale DSLR in order to go out and buy one. For just £50 more the EOS 700D offers a mor...

Abstract: Canon's thinking big when it comes to small: the Canon EOS 100D is a brand new line to the EOS range, which undercuts its bigger brother 700D by 25 per cent size and 28 per cent weight. But is this mini a master of all things DSLR? Pocket-lint handled th...
