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

As someone who's been using mirror-less cameras a great deal over the past year I admit to approaching the EOS SL1 / 100D with some skepticism. But once you get it in your hands it really is a very enjoyable camera to use, delivering the quality, hand...

Canon took the standard Rebel and whittled it into a smaller body, removing only a few features, while adding one very important one: improved live view autofocus. The result is a mature camera for the family photographer that's not a burden to bring ...
Abstract: Being a fan of all of the flagship cameras makes it painful for me to say that this is an unexciting offering from Canon's lower end consumer camera into the DSLR game. With Nikon and Sony releasing much more advanced consumer offerings, I often wonder wh...
