Battle of the Smallest: Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1

By Marvin Yap


Now up for grabs is Canon EOS Rebel SL1, Canon's newest and much awaited digital single-lens reflex camera. Still containing all the hallmarks and buttons known to Canon, the DSLR is weightless and miniature compared to other models. Camera aficionados will love it despite the noticeably decrease in size because all the great features of a regular DSLR is still available and working.

With measurements of 4.60 x 3.57 x 2.74" (116.8 x 90.7 x 69.4mm) and weight of 370 g, the Rebel SL1 snugly fits the hand. The famous camera manufacturer once again broke a record by bringing into the market a one-of-a-kind compact camera which is 25 % smaller and 28% lighter compared to other cameras of its kind.

However tiny or big your fingers are, it would not be a problem because of the camera's amazingly jumbo-sized shutter buttons. Boasting of an 18-megapixel APS-C sized CMOS image sensor, photo quality is still at its best. Extra scene modes added are the Kids, Food, and Candlelight effects and the Background Blur Simulation which produces artistic and unique pictures that you will love. You can add all effects and filters to photos directly in this camera with its standard touch screen LCD display.

Performance-wise, this Canon camera does not disappoint. Shooting 4 frames per second with the DIGIC 5 image processor definitely is a plus for this Canon wonder. Using LP-E12 rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, the camera will last long while taking your great shots. Battery life could be up to 380 to 400 high definition shots, according to CIPA rating. Getting the most out of this new Canon lightweight will definitely be a joy as you can use it without worrying about its battery life. You do not have to worry in bringing your camera with your out-of-town travels to take great souvenir shots because of its flexible operating temperatures from 32-104F / 0-40C. If you want to know more about the camera's other amazing technical specifications such as Video Sensitivity Range, Video Exposure Control, and Video Exposure Compensation, make sure to visit only trustworthy online sites for other Canon EOS Rebel SL1 Review.

Overall, after this Canon EOS 100D Review, it gave a good first impression as it did not sacrifice the remarkable features of Canon DSLR cameras for its lightweight size. It is a DSLR designed not only for seasoned photographers but also for those who simply like to take pictures on the go. A DSLR with a variety of features plus a price of only US$650, this is the camera you are looking for. As Canon once again proves, great things do come in small packages.
