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...

In short those used to DSLRs will find much familiar on the 100D, whilst those upgrading from an iPhone will soon familiarise themselves

With the EOS 100D, Canon has effectively made a mini version of its 650D. This compact DSLR has the same main strengths as its full-sized counterpart, with a user-friendly design, a good sensor, quality electronics and an excellent screen. Plus, this mini...
I really enjoyed using the Canon EOS 100D. In terms of size, it certainly doesnt feel like the body is much of a compromise and it packs in all the features that would be expected from a mid-range enthusiast DSLR.Even used with slightly larger lenses...
Canon has miniaturised the digital SLR with the EOS 100D. If you want a small camera, but absolutely have to have a proper viewfinder, this is your best bet at the moment. It's surprisingly usable given its tiny dimensions, although its 18-megapixel senso...
Good design including rubberised handgrip, Creative filters feature live preview, Strikingly small body
Similar price to the Canon EOS 700D, AF system only features one cross-type point, Small design means small battery

The EOS 100D may be small, but it still manages to pack in the power and we've generally been impressed. But, in saying that, you'll need to really want a smaller-scale DSLR in order to go out and buy one. For just £50 more the EOS 700D offers a mor...
