All the regular feature and more in a lightweight use and great range of lens or other items if needed. Use on overseas trip in all conditions and lighting and no trouble at all.

The compact proportions of the original Rebel SL1 / 100D meant it was truly novel amongst its peers, but the slightly bulkier proportions of the EOS Rebel SL2 / EOS 200D make it feel more like a slightly pared-down Rebel T7i / 800D than anything unique.

Great Live View AF performance; Polished touchscreen interface; Easy to use; Image quality very good; User-friendly interface

9-point AF system is somewhat basic; High price – at least for now; Plasticky finish; No 4K video

The Canon EOS 200D is a low-cost DSLR designed for people making the transition from a smartphone or compact camera. It's remarkably small and light for an SLR, coming in at around 8mm less in all three dimensions than the Canon EOS 800D.

High image quality; Responsive and straightforward in live view mode; Class-leading video autofocus

Autofocus with the viewfinder is relatively basic; Some manual controls are hard to access

This camera is brilliant. It was my first DSLR I have ever owned & I cannot complain at all. I bought it mostly with filming in mind but in all honesty have had so much fun with taking photos (& they look sooo good) that I have barely scratched the surface with the filming.

Small and lightweight; Good battery life

Flash button in strange place

Got this a month ago as my first DSLR. Great lightweight camera which is handy to take everywhere. The 5 fps is great for shooting sports and kids. 24.2 mega pixels is great for cropping in post production. The dual pixel auto focus is amazing for tracking faces and focusing quickly for pictures.

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

I've only recently bought this for my hubby whose always had Canon Eos cameras. Perfect photos every time. Really pleased, superior to his previous one. Better pics, lighter body also a video recorder. Fantastic buy at fantastic price. Highly recommended.

This is a small, light DSLR with a good kit lens. It has built-in flash and a large, easily read touch screen display. Canon have supplied a camera strap, but the lack of a lead for downloading photos is inexplicable.

Compact; Build quality; Battery life; Screen size

Complicated

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
