Smallest and lightest DSLR we've ever reviewed
Delivers very good image quality

Very accomplished at shooting ...

If the personal choice "C.Fn II-3 Highlight tone priority" is selected
Bleached-out highlights
As in the above shot
Are prevented. It also delivers

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

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...
As a mini EOS DSLR, the EOS 100D is bound to gain a lot of fans right off the bat. It's priced to sit between the EOS 1100D and the 600D in Canon's line-up, and as such sees Canon offering more choice then ever for the entry-level user. However, the 100D...
Overall system still large, Art filters only usable in Live View, Slow Live View focusing
It's hard to know what to say about the Canon 100D. Canon has once again produced an incredibly capable DSLR, which produces excellent images. The miniaturisation element is fun, and a nifty feat of engineering, but there's still no way that a camera and...

Abstract: If you have kids, the impulse to document every instant of their waking lives is nearly as powerful as the impulse to feed and shelter them. I'll help you find the perfect camera to freeze those priceless moments.If you're reading this article, you've pro...
The Canon EOS 100D is a good camera and offers all the goodies expected out of a Canon DSLR. Image quality is good and the STM lens ensures that there is fairly little AF motor noise while recording videos. Considering it houses a standard APS-C sensor, ...
Good build quality, Rich in features, Lightweight and compact.
Expensive, No WiFi or inbuilt geotagging, High colour saturation in tone priority mode
The Canon EOS 100D is a fine tool not just to capture still frames, but also to shoot videos. The built-in mic, along with auto-tracking features and Full HD video support are good enough to shoot even short feature films. As an intermediate-level SLR, i...
If you don't mind the really small form-factor, then the EOS 100D is the perfect little camera for you. With an accurate focusing system and good sharp image quality, there is nothing wrong with the camera at all. It certainly is worth looking into, but i...
Superb portability, Very easy to handle, Responsive touch screen, Good image quality
Small battery, Harder to handle with larger lenses, Price
All in all, despite its size, there's no denying that the Canon EOS 100D is a DSLR as it comes with the same set of features and even produces great images. The only other little downside to it is its price, which many will argue that you can get a sligh...
