## Description

TBD

Review: Excellent camera for the price - I'm primarily a Leica M shooter, but need a backup camera with autofocus and macro/tele capabilities. For a long while that camera was a Canon 1DsMkII, but I decided to go the Sony A7II route and got rid of that body and all my Canon glass last spring. There were some things I didn't like about that system (not an EVF kind of guy) even though on paper it was great. I wanted to get something inexpensive because I really only need this type a camera a few times a year. After trying a couple of different Panasonic bridge cameras, I decided to give the SL1 a shot. desertcart had good package deal on the body+kit lens and the 55-250 STM lens with some various extra stuff thrown in. Everything shipped in separate boxes and the USPS of course lost the box with the actual camera in it. desertcart eventually sent me a replacement, but only after giving me the runaround for a couple of days, including one CS rep who was supposed to have processed the replacement (which I have in writing in a chat) but never actually bothered to, which created another day of delay. Eventually the replacement camera finally did show up and after take a bunch of indoor and outdoor test shots, I couldn't be happier with it. It's shockingly compact for an actual SLR with a mirrorbox and the ergonomics I think are quite good. The dedicated ISO button is in a good spot near the shutter release and the touchscreen makes interacting with the UI very easy. I think the image quality is excellent for a camera of this price point. With a little noise reduction in LR even ISO 3200 is very usable. AF is fast (although I only use the center focus point) and shutter sound is decent. The kit and 55-250 lenses, although made completely of plastic still seem well made, although how much would a metal mount have really added to cost? The focus motors in the STM lenses are almost completely silent and are very quick. The tele zoom is very sharp and the bokeh is actually pretty nice. I like that the front elements on both lenses don't rotate as you rack in and out. That's convenient for using a ring flash. Not really much more that I can say that hasn't been said in many other reviews, but I have to say I'm completely satisfied with this camera for the intended purpose.
Review: Better than the 7D! - This is currently the best crop sensor camera you can buy right now. It's odd, because it's also one of the cheapest DSLR's Canon sells, but the nature of the game, is that Canon introduces the best technology into their more expensive lines first, the 7D in 2009, for example. The same sensor technology and advances has then been put into each successive camera, the T3i, the T4i, the 60D, etc., and finally, it has trickled down into the Eos SL1. Having used the 7D, the 60D, and the SL1, I can say the SL1's user friendliness and ease of use is up with the 7D, and indeed better than the 60D or the T2i (haven't used T4 or the new T5). Another strange thing about Canon, is they'll sometimes put really neat features into their lower end cameras to kind of see how they work out, as a test of sorts. The reason I say the SL1 is better than the 7D is the 7D had the digic 4 processor while this has the digic 5 processor. sensors being even identical, the better processor will enhance noise reduction in low light shooting, and the speed of the processor being 6 times faster adds to snappyness all around. The SL1 does indeed have a touch screen, and actually, it's very useable, close to using an iphone in touch sensitivity, and the beauty of Canon's design is, you can turn it OFF, and you can navigate all the menus without using it at all either, which is something very important to me. I don't want my nose hitting the screen to suddenly change a setting while looking through the viewfinder, or maybe i want to save that extra bit of battery life, etc. it is indeed small, and my only real beef with the SL1 is that while the whole point of it is it being small and portable as all heck, my hand wants just a little bit more depth in the grip itself. otherwise, a perfect little camera. I'm sure some third party vendor is going to come out with an extension grip, or one of those hand strap accessories to remedy this. I wear glasses, and this viewfinder will be smaller than a 5DmkIII or 7D, and again don't like my nose smashing on the screen, so, I HIGHLY recommend the EP-EX15II extender for the viewfinder. Just look it up on desertcart. it makes using the viewfinder infinitely more useable, and it's a very inexpensive accessory. That being said, I think Canon has a winner on their hands. I will take the SL1 + 40mm pancake combo over the FujiX100S or even Canon's G1X, or any other compact, 4/3's, or other 'lightweight' body camera. This is the one to beat! people complain about the 'only one cross-type' sensor, but I've found the autofocus points to be speedy and smart and accurate. The only time this should even be an issue is when holding the camera vertical/portrait mode, but what I tend to do is half-press to focus the center point where I want focus, and then compose the shot with button still pressed, then push all the way to take the shot. even with 20 cross-type focus sensors, you're better off just using the center to get focus anyways. At least, that's how I shoot. One other caveat is you should get at least one STM lens for this body. The kit lens is probably good, I didn't get it, the 40mm STM is a beautiful lens, perfect wide open, so at least get one STM lens, so you can appreciate the very fast focus speed and better autofocus during video shooting. An STM on this body makes autofocus during video actually possible and useable! a feat Canon had not accomplished until now.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What memory card do you recommend with this camera?  Brand and size?**
A: Really depends on how you intend to use the camera. I take a lot of pictures of my kids. Also depends on what resolution you set your camera to take photos.  You should be fine with a 4GB card, but I have purchased 32 and 64GB cards just so I can keep most pictures in one place. Any brand of SD card that you trust is fine.

**Q: I want to know what is in the box? Does it contain Eyecup Ef,Battery Pack LP-E12,Battery Charger LC-E12,Wide Neck Strap EW-300D and some other things?**
A: The eye piece is the standard rubber ring.  You have to go to Hoodman to get a cup.  One battery and charger are included.  The neck strap is narrower than others, only about an inch wide ... but the camera and lens are so light that you don't need a wide neck strap, the one in the box is fine.  It says Canon and EOS on it.  The box also contains the manual (which you don't need) and CD with software and USB cable and warranty card.  The kit lens is great ... not the fastest focusing lens, but small and very light and good IS.  Any other lens makes the setup heavy and front-heavy.  You can carry the SL1 and kit lens around all day and not know it's there.  I usually keep the SL1 and a 220EX speedlite in a smallish holster bag.

**Q: Besides price and weight, what's the difference between this camera and the T3i ?**
A: These two cameras are very similar.  The advantages of the T3i:  It has a flip-out screen, and a battery with a longer life than the SL1.  But the SL1 is "newer" than the T3i, and therefore it has some tech advantages:  (1) It is 30% lighter and smaller than the T3i (and this is a significant advantage when you carry the camera all day); (2) It provides continuous auto-focus for videos (which the T3i does not provide); (3) It has a "touch screen" for enlarging and shrinking shot playback; and (4) It offers in-camera HDR.  Since technology is constantly improving the quality of cameras and sensors, I would opt for the "newer" vs. the "older" DSLR releases.

**Q: Can I capture still shoots while recording a video? Or do I have to switch back to photo mode to do so?**
A: Yes, but... In move mode mirror is lifted up. If you press photo capture button, camera will lower mirror, adjust focus and exposure, lift up mirror back and finally capture image...then will continue roll your movie. It will make about 1-2 second gap in move sequence (kind of disappointing). You dont have to switch modes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent camera for the price
*by J***J on January 29, 2016*

I'm primarily a Leica M shooter, but need a backup camera with autofocus and macro/tele capabilities.

Amazon had good package deal on the body+kit lens and the 55-250 STM lens with some various extra stuff thrown in. Everything shipped in separate boxes and the USPS of course lost the box with the actual camera in it. Amazon eventually sent me a replacement, but only after giving me the runaround for a couple of days, including one CS rep who was supposed to have processed the replacement (which I have in writing in a chat) but never actually bothered to, which created another day of delay.

The focus motors in the STM lenses are almost completely silent and are very quick. The tele zoom is very sharp and the bokeh is actually pretty nice.

Another strange thing about Canon, is they'll sometimes put really neat features into their lower end cameras to kind of see how they work out, as a test of sorts. The reason I say the SL1 is better than the 7D is the 7D had the digic 4 processor while this has the digic 5 processor. sensors being even identical, the better processor will enhance noise reduction in low light shooting, and the speed of the processor being 6 times faster adds to snappyness all around.

I don't want my nose hitting the screen to suddenly change a setting while looking through the viewfinder, or maybe i want to save that extra bit of battery life, etc. it is indeed small, and my only real beef with the SL1 is that while the whole point of it is it being small and portable as all heck, my hand wants just a little bit more depth in the grip itself. otherwise, a perfect little camera. I'm sure some third party vendor is going to come out with an extension grip, or one of those hand strap accessories to remedy this. I wear glasses, and this viewfinder will be smaller than a 5DmkIII or 7D, and again don't like my nose smashing on the screen, so, I HIGHLY recommend the EP-EX15II extender for the viewfinder. Just look it up on amazon. it makes using the viewfinder infinitely more useable, and it's a very inexpensive accessory. That being said, I think Canon has a winner on their hands. I will take the SL1 + 40mm pancake combo over the FujiX100S or even Canon's G1X, or any other compact, 4/3's, or other 'lightweight' body camera.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***C on January 17, 2016*

The camera came on sale almost $100 below the usual price. For the money I could not resist and the camera moved to the top of the list of my other choices normally cheaper than the SL1. This is my very first DSLR (or SLR for that matter) so like the proverbial old dog I have to learn new tricks. I reached the point where I got the most out of my old Canon A720IS and I have to say that the SL1 machine outperforms it in every aspect except possibly convenience. Also, I now tend to protect the SL1 and use the A720 for "dirty" jobs in the workshop or dusty environment. I use the SL1 mainly in conjunction with my light box to photograph products (mainly jewellery). Contrary to the prevailing opinion the kit lens does more than adequate job and at this stage I find no need to upgrade to macro. The ability to close the aperture well beyond what was possible before makes it much easier to get a decent depth of focus. The battery life is less than other DSLRs in its class especially using the live view but it still lasts comfortably through a shooting session unlike the A720 which was fed on AAs. Because there are so many more options available with this camera I will not pretend that I am getting the most out of it. However, each day I discover a new hack and my photos are improving (or so I would like to think!). The only issues I would like to pick at: 1) Getting the lens cap on is a bit of a kefaffle, and 2) Surely Canon could have afforded to throw in a couple of bucks' worth of a lens hood?
