Smallest and lightest DSLR we've ever reviewed

If the personal choice "C.Fn II-3 Highlight tone priority" is selected

The editors didn't like
Uncomfortable for large hands
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...
It's pretty slim on features
Limited Raw burst shooting. Pentamirror viewfinder. Fixed rear LCD. May be too small for some hands
Modest continuous shooting speed at 4fps
No built-in Wifi and no Canon accessory either
Screen doesn't flip-out
It's fixed in position
Basic auto exposure bracketing of three frames
No auto-panorama mode in-camera
Non adjustable AF area size in Live View
Loses size advantage once you fit most Canon lenses.
May be too small for those with larger hands
Grip may be insufficient for use with larger lenses
AF illuminator integrated into flash (must have flash engaged to use it)
Flash produces red-eye in Night portrait mode
Non-STM lenses struggle in live view and in movie servo AF
Default dynamic range lags behind its peers
Similar price to the Canon EOS 700D
AF system only features one cross-type point
Small design means small battery
Only one crosstype AF point
Limited amount of AF points compared with its closest rivals

Canon did a good job with the EOS SL1. While making it the smallest and lightest DSLR available, they didn't do this by stripping it down in terms of features or performance. In fact the vastly improved Hybrid AF system, which uses both phase sensitive an...

Small body, Light weight, High image quality, Touch screen
Uncomfortable for large hands
It's the small size and light weight of the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 that draw praise from reviewers and users alike. The SL1 is "a mature camera…that's not a burden to bring along," and is suitable for family photographers looking for an easy-to-use DSLR came...
