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.

The Canon EOS 200D (called the Digital Rebel SL2 in North America) is the the world's lightest DSLR camera with the world's fastest AF system. The 24 megapixel 200D / SL2 offers Dual Pixel CMOS AF for the world's fastest Live View focusing, a vari-angle screen with touchscreen capabilities, a...

Arrived quickly and in perfect shape. Just came back from holidays trying out my new camera and lens. Absolutely love them. I'm not a beginner in photography, but this camera is so lightweight and easy to use -- and the lens is truly perfect for the range of shots you can get.

Canon's EOS 200D, or Rebel SL2 as it's known in North America, continues the premise set by its predecessor, the 100D / SL1: a step-up from the entry-level model in the range with higher resolution images, better movie features, more connectivity, and crucially, a smaller and lighter body that's now...

I don't do much video so this is what I want for a travel camera, a cross between my 80D and M5... On a recent trip to SE Asia my carry-on was over weight!! it had my 80D a couple lenses flash and M3 and it's lenses plus a laptop... So next trip it will be the M3 plus SL2 and netbook....

The first EOS to be released with a selfie mode, Canon's new EOS 200D includes automated functions like skin smoothing and background blurring plus an always-on connection with a smart device to please social media users.

DSLR cameras were once seen as these big, beastly pro-spec machines that you wouldn't want to lay hands on unless you had an encyclopaedic knowledge of photography. How times have changed, eh?

Tilt-angle touchscreen is great to use; small scale and lightweight for a DSLR; high standard of image quality; lots of EF lenses to grow into; Guided UI makes it more accessible for newcomers (with room to grow); great battery life

9-point AF system isn't the best going (especially for continuous autofocus); viewfinder has 95% field-of-view limits; live view autofocus not fully accurate; video limits to Full HD only

very handy, easy to operate and carry wherever you go. the on screen guided options make the job very easy for the beginners. got the product as described along with a kit lens. all in all a very good deal to begin the dslr journey. very much satisfied.

I primarily shoot 2 things: sports and travel. My 7D Mark II is great for sports, but a few years behind in IQ, especially in low light. It's also built for abuse, meaning it's heavy...and I was tired of lugging it an L series lenses around the globe.

Bearing the distinction of the world's lightest APS-C DSLR with a vari-angle screen, the Canon EOS 200D slots into the manufacturer's range of DSLRs between the entry-level and the more advanced and models.

World's lightest DSLR with vari-angle screen; Fast focusing performance in Live View; Intuitive layout of buttons and dials; Guided user interface helps beginners learn the key controls and settings

Basic arrangement of 9 AF points; Single scroll dial on the top plate
