Introduced this spring, and in the mainstream for a few months, Canon EOS Rebel SL1 is a compact SLR camera that stands out because of its maximum portability, in the face of technical features in many ways to the top. For an audience like this cross, which goes by the user prosumer, as users who are looking for a simple solution.

The ability to fit it in your bag without weighing too, makes it particularly pleasing to women. All at a price less than $549, while if you choose the kit with EF-S 18-55 (f3.5-5.6) is about $69. The lens mount is the classic EF / EF-S.

Let’s get into details. Canon EOS Rebel SL1 weighs just 400 grams, with a maximum overall width of 11.7 inches, 7 inches deep and just 9 inches high. The sensor (22.3 x 14.9 mm CMOS) integrated 18 megapixel sensor cleaning, and the processor is the acclaimed Digic 5. The ISO sensitivity has a range from ISO 100 to 12,800, with the reduction of a stop in AUTO mode (6,400).

Canon EOS Rebel SL1 has external microphone jack, mini HDMI jack, jack for remote control and A/V output. Among the advantages, for this price and in this segment, you cannot forget the reporting of the capacitive touchscreen display 3-inch diagonal, which rises from embarrassment for fast set-up of the settings. Focusing 9-point proves accurate and fast, a good surprise, with the hybrid AF updated (2nd generation).

Canon has done a great job with regard to ergonomics, placing the commands with a great over-exploitation in the space available, for example, with the provision of the point of focus almost on the right edge of the socket. Users can mature to feel the lack of a double ring, but it is a venial sin, because all the functions of basic settings are accessible with dedicated keys.

The upper ring nut allows both the setting of the shooting mode Shutter-priority, Aperture, in Program and manual, as is the convenient selection for Scene or in immediate exclusion of the flash, A and CA (Creative Auto). This is also an element facilitator is not insignificant. Maybe a little sacrificed the little jog-shuttle back, with a body harness with three fingers and thumb that governs the buttons on the back on the right side are still a few problems.

The small standard battery allows a day’s shoot, but it is not a record. We recommend that you have the availability of a replacement battery.
