The Canon EOS Rebel SL2 is the smallest SLR camera in the company's lineup. It boasts a modern 24MP image sensor, but its autofocus system isn't as good as the larger T7i.

Really small and light; 24MP APS-C image sensor; Dual Pixel AF in Live View; Vari-angle touch LCD; Microphone input; Guided user interface; Wi-Fi

Dated nine-point focus system; Some focus lag in live view; Small Raw shooting buffer; Video limited to 1080p

The Canon EOS Rebel SL2 performs admirably for its class and price, thanks to a solid mix of beginner and advanced features. The Canon EOS Rebel T6 ($450 with 18-55mm lens) is cheaper, but it lacks many of the SL2's attractive features, including the fully articulated touch-screen LCD.

Compact and lightweight; Improved autofocus in Live View and Movie mode; Fully articulated LCD; Up to 5 fps continuous shooting; Feature Assistant; External microphone jack

Modest number of AF points; Small optical viewfinder; No 4K video

The inclusion of an articulating monitor, touchscreen, wireless connectivity, and a new sensor with DPAF make this a worthy upgrade for SL1 fans who...

Compact size; Fast live-view autofocus; Articulating touchscreen; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; Easy to use

Nine-point AF system when using viewfinder; Small viewfinder; Outclassed by mirrorless rivals

Very good

When you need (want) the smallest camera possible, a camera ready to go everywhere with you, but do not want to give up DSLR features, the SL2 (AKA EOS Kiss X8 in Japan and EOS 200D in Europe/Asia/Oceania) immediately jumps to the forefront of your options list.

Canon is having an absolute stonker of a year so far, with a plethora of new releases and the number one DSLR, CSC and full-frame cameras – the 1300D, M10 and 5D MkIV respectively.

Canon ‘s massive popularity stems from the fact that they make great DSLR cameras for all photographers, whether you're just beginning a photography hobby or a seasoned professional with decades of experience.

The Canon EOS Rebel SL2 is a very functional and portable entry-level DSLR, which is easy to fit into a camera bag (or even a large coat pocket) and use. It is clearly directed at users who may wish to learn a little more about photography.

+ Very moderate sharpening gives images a natural look; + Good dynamic range: above 10 f/stops up to ISO 800; + Consistent color and auto white balance performance up to ISO 6400; + Highly affordable for beginner and amateur photographers; + Easy video recording

- Noticeable artifacts at ISO 1600 and above; - Slowdown of recording after 10 JPEG and six Raw images in continuous mode; - No headphone jack for video recording

The smallest and lightest EOS DSLR camera to feature both an APS-C sensor and a Vari-angle LCD, the EOS Rebel SL2 is easy to bring with you. With improvements in design and construction, the EOS Rebel SL2 is portable and lightweight with no compromise in performance.
