Excellent camera. Very compact form factor. It is a Canon so of course the lens and sensor is excellent along with best in class build quality. I have been using it for video and the image is professional grade, and the stills are beyond amazing. The UI is highly intuitive with a button for every major function (aperture, ISO, shutter speed, etc...). The articulating display is a welcome feature of this camera, allowing for easy focus and framing. The focus assist is very excellent, having saved me many times. Highly recommend to anyone starting out.

As an owner of 3 other Canon EOS DSLRs, I was excited about adding this supposedly compact version containing all the latest Canon upgrades. Afterall, it was listed by all the camera mags as one of the top 5 DSLRs of the year. However, upon delivery and comparison to my Canon T3, T6, and 70D, this camera contained the goodies in a very cheap feeling, lightweight, plastic body. Granted, it is made for beginners but it still has the latest Digic processing system 7, their hottest CMOS dual pixel focusing feature which is great for well-focused videos and shooting pics off the LCD screen vs through the viewfinder., an articulating high pixed LCD, etc. However, in shooting with it, it didn't have that "solid" shutter click that all my older, less featured Canons have. In addition, it was TOO compact for my large hands, thus the toy-like feeling. I did a test comparison of a scene and shot it was all 3 DSLRS, the SL2 showed no improvement or difference in results, plus it didn't fit my hand well, so I sent it back. To get the "old" Canon quality, I suggest sticking with the dual pixel 70D, or it's latest upgrade, the 80D which is a great camera with a professional feel.Read full review

This is an all around great little camera that has all of the features of the T7i at a lighter and smaller footprint. Good battery life, takes all of the EF-S lenses, has a microphone input along with an articulated screen. The only con for me is the focus points, The T7i has 42 and this has 9. That's fine with me because I always use the viewfinder and usually center the subject. To be totally honest, I sold my T7i because of it's weight and size. This camera along with the 18-135mm IS STM lens is my winning combination for a light and portable setup.

The Camera stats and its performance within its price-point make it a super value! Even given it's age, it parallels and even outperforms some newer cameras with updated tech (IMHO). I honestly don't believe enough people knew about or still know about the power of the SL2. Canon's incredibly friendly user-interface still leads the pack. I will eventually buy another one to future-proof me from $2k - $4K cameras just to have the latest tech! I want to spend my time taking photos & learning to do it better...the SL2 has more than enough tech to continuously challenge my learning curve while allowing me to enjoy the art. Enuff said.

This camera is smaller than you would anticipate. The size is smaller than the T7i or T6i cameras slightly but feels much smaller when you hold it in comparison to the others. The picture quality and focusing is as good at the bigger cameras. The guided tutorial mode is very clear and easy to follow you can turn that feature off when you master things. This is a perfect camera for traveling and vloging due to the great video quality, tilt screen, and small factor.
