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 will still feel familiar to more
traditional SLR users.
With everything a family photographer is likely to
want and little left over to intimidate, the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 may be Canon's
best-targeted digital Rebel to date. As the top end of the Rebel line -
currently the T5i - added more and more enthusiast features, the camera got
bigger and more complex, and the SL1/100D stands as a suitable alternative
without much compromise where it matters. Indeed, it currently stands as the
better alternative for those who want to shoot in live view mode, and for
anyone who thinks they'll want to shoot a movie now and then, thanks to Hybrid
AF II. Image quality is also uncompromised, as we've come to expect from the Rebel
line.
Its smaller size and lighter weight make it easier to
pack and carry, meaning the Canon SL1 is more likely to be used, and its fuller
feature set helps it stand out for those dissatisfied with their smartphone
shots. The good news is the SL1 is a real pleasure to shoot, with ergonomics
good enough for small to medium-size hands, and snappy performance, both when
shooting and reviewing photos. The touchscreen makes menus and playback work
like a cell phone, making it familiar to more users than would normally be the
case. The only element missing to help it compete in the smartphone-dominated
market is Wi-Fi, which can be added via an Eye-Fi card, which is supported in
the SL1's menu.
