Canon's Rebel SL1 prioritizes size and weight above all else, so it's missing features, but it's one of the most portable entry-level DSLRs available.

Reduced size and weight make this camera portable

It has poor battery life at just 340 shots per charge

I bought this for a friends birthday. It arrived late, thankyou Littlewoods, I tried to return it, all sorts of problems later, I decided to try it for myself. I usually use NIKON. I found this dslr to be plastic, lightweight and toylike. Not my preference. Although my kids loved it.

From OVF to EVF to OVF. My exploration of the digital world started with the coolpix 990 and the canon 20D. And after many nice and some not so nice experiences (see my gear part) I'm back in the OVF camp.

Great camera

Not sure if any

Good design including rubberised handgrip; Creative filters feature live preview; Strikingly small body

Similar price to the Canon EOS 700D; AF system only features one cross-type point; Small design means small battery

I've seen family members use SLR and DSLR in the past and wrote it off as too hard to do. Use of this Canon SL1 camera is like school. You can start at the very beginning with LOTS of help and move up in gradual steps to use of it by hand with lots of accessories.

might be "too small" for larger hands

Very early on with this camera, but we have always had good results with Canon products and this one is following suit. The controls and touchscreen can be figured out quite easily, and offer a lot of flexibility. The automatic modes work very well.

Intuitive controls Lots of options Good results Nice package

Tendency to overexpose in automatic
