Style:18-55mm STM Kit | Color:Black Canon’s compact EOS Rebel SL2 provides versatile built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity plus key camera features like a newly-developed 24.2 megapixel APS-C Canon CMOS image sensor paired with Canon’s DIGIC 7 image processor, resulting in Rebel-series firsts such as Dual Pixel CMOS AF for smooth and accurate autofocus and a high-resolution Touch Screen monitor that supports both Touch AF and Touch Shutter release functionality.
Every setting is simplified from the get go with the advanced AI assistant that pretty much shows you what each setting is capable of and the video quality is amazing.
Great “Next Level” camera. This is a really great way to move up past point and shoot. One reason is ease of operation. It features a nice touch screen that tells you how to do many of the complicated things you need to know if you want a more advanced camera. The same screen doubles as a way to use touch screen photography. I had the SL 1 and it had one of the earliest best touch screens Canon had..You can flip through your pictures and enlarge the images ,just like a cell phone. Now the screen flips out, a nice improvement.The image processor is way more powerful,the Digic 7. Don’t use auto ISO ,because it wants to use ISO 100. The sensor can give great pictures at hi ISO. Then you can use faster shutter speed. This means much sharper pictures ,since the faster the shutter speed,the sharper the picture . Canon cameras with the big sensors,like this and the Digic 7 processors,are the way to go for low light photography.. If you just use the automatic settings you may as well use a point and shoot camera.Some criticize the autofocus because it only has 9 points. I set it in center focus. You see a red dot when you are in focus. You don’t need 71 autofocus points. You just need this one red dot in focus. Very powerful and accurate. So,I could go on and on ,but just remember. Push the ISO and use center focus. Have fun.
I’ve had an SL1 since the camera came out in 2013. Love the camera because it’s so small and lightweight but still works with all my EF and EFS lenses. So when the SL2 was announced I ordered it right away. It arrived yesterday. The kit lens (on the SL2) is much smaller and lighter than my EFS 17-55 lens (on the SL1). More later when I’ve had some time to take and compare photos.
Great upgrade from the SL1. Just because its smaller than most cameras, doesnt mean its not as good as them. Wifi, NFC, and bluetooth, awesome. Canon’s app works great. Can save photos to your phone quickly. AF is quick. LCD screen is clear. Tips from the camera help an amateur like me.
Incredible camera and excellent upgrade value from the SL1. The autofocus is so fast, the flipping screen is amazing, and the wifi+Bluetooth makes this camera so accessible and convenient to use. Phenomenal.
Do you want a smaller camera - DON’T buy a mirrorless -> buy this SL2 !!! Several months ago I injured my back and arm, and could not carry my 7Dmii, so I bought a mirrorless camera - ugh, what an expensive let down. So I decided to try this guy - WOW, all the perks of the DSLR in a tiny package, and great tiny price. This camera is super easy and fun to use, my picture quality has been fantastic. Great for running kids and dogs, lots of fun scene modes to play with - and it fits in my purse. I have paired my SL2 with a Tamron 18-270 and it is still smaller than my mirrorless. This is a great extra camera for advanced camera people, and a great first DSLR for beginners.
I love the ease of use. I am a pursuant amature who wishes to produce wow inducing photos. I have owned several Canon DSLR cameras. This is by far the best camera I have owned!
comments powered by DisqusI have two SL1 cameras….This SL2 seemed nice BUT Canon left off the auto eye sensor for the view finder that is on the SL1 that turns off or on the LCD and viewfinder automatically depending on which one you were using. This is not good for the SL2 in that you manually have to make the VF or LCD selection.It was one less thing you had to think about on the SL1.Why would Canon EVER do something like that? Funny how they don’t mention this anywhere in their documentation or ads or here on Amazon. This feature is a deal maker IMHO. Very odd they would leave it out in this second iteration of the SL1.Oh well…the introduction of the SL2 makes the SL1 that much less expensive now. The smaller sensor RESOLUTION size on the SL1 should make it a better low light camera vs the SL2 as well.
