Battle of the Smallest: Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1

By Marvin Yap


Canon wowed us again with their latest digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR as the camera geeks call it) now out in the market, the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 camera. Still containing all the hallmarks and buttons known to Canon, the DSLR is weightless and miniature compared to other models. Although diminished in size, this offer from Canon is still a DSLR that the camera lovers will like due to the brimming features that it boasts.

With measurements of 4.60 x 3.57 x 2.74" (116.8 x 90.7 x 69.4mm) and weight of 370 g, the Rebel SL1 snugly fits the hand. A quarter smaller and lighter than other DSLR's, Canon is the first to produce this kind of lightweight camera.

However tiny or big your fingers are, it would not be a problem because of the camera's amazingly jumbo-sized shutter buttons. Boasting of an 18-megapixel APS-C sized CMOS image sensor, photo quality is still at its best. If you like editing your pictures, you can easily do so with the new Scene Modes available, adding creativity and fun to every shot. Editing is so easy with just a swipe of your finger on the LCD display.

Performance-wise, this Canon camera does not disappoint. Shooting 4 frames per second with the DIGIC 5 image processor definitely is a plus for this Canon wonder. Using LP-E12 rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, the camera will last long while taking your great shots. Battery life could be up to 380 to 400 high definition shots, according to CIPA rating. Getting the most out of this new Canon lightweight will definitely be a joy as you can use it without worrying about its battery life. You do not have to worry in bringing your camera with your out-of-town travels to take great souvenir shots because of its flexible operating temperatures from 32-104F / 0-40C. If you want to know more about the camera's other amazing technical specifications such as Video Sensitivity Range, Video Exposure Control, and Video Exposure Compensation, make sure to visit only trustworthy online sites for other Canon EOS Rebel SL1 Review.

Overall, after this Canon EOS 100D Review, it gave a good first impression as it did not sacrifice the remarkable features of Canon DSLR cameras for its lightweight size. It is a DSLR designed not only for seasoned photographers but also for those who simply like to take pictures on the go. A DSLR with a variety of features plus a price of only US$650, this is the camera you are looking for. As Canon once again proves, great things do come in small packages.
