Abstract: As always I start with it in the easiest mode ‘Auto' and assume that I know nothing. There is a printed Basic Instruction Manual and when I mention that it is 116 pages then you realise this is very powerful unit and although I have been taking images for...
The 100D is easy to like. Its ergonomics are surprisingly successful and image quality is only significantly bettered by full-frame cameras. When first launched it cost a whopping £575, which was a substantial amount of money for an entry-level DSLR, but...

Abstract: No prizes for what makes the Canon EOS 100D White DSLR special. Yep, it's got a white coat of paint. A year after the release of the world's smallest and lightest DSLR, that being the Canon EOS 100D, the white model delivers a nigh-on identical package...
Quality Canon 18MP stills, Good 1080/30p videos, Very fast, accurate focusing
Grip may be too small for some, Mono onboard sound, Quality falls off after ISO 800
The Canon EOS SL1 is a good DSLR, although a bit pricey – you can pick up a kit for $649 and $799 with an additional 55-250mm zoom. Yet, one of its main draws is its small size and it really doesn't deliver on that score since it's just a shade smaller ...

Abstract: But regular cameras are now catching up in the convenience stakes. Some have WiFi built in so you can send images to social networking sites, while compact system cameras offer the high-quality image capabilities of DSLRs but in a smaller and more mana...
There's been quite a bit of noise in recent months about the "Death of the DSLR." We've written about this previously, and there's definitely a nugget of truth to it. Every major camera manufacturer now produces a mirrorless camera system, with only Canon...
Abstract: So when Canon says it has the smallest ever DSLR, I'm interested. These cameras, when not elephantine, do have advantages. The pictures they produce tend to have less depth of field, which sounds like a bad thing, but lends that professional, blurred back...

Small, light body, Live View performance, Great picture quality
No flip-out screen, Stripped-back controls, The 700D does more
The Canon 100D is a great camera with many plus points. It takes fantastic photos and shoots lovely video, is small, light and well built, and has the best Live View performance of any APS-C camera (at least until we test the forthcoming EOS 70D ). But t...
