Abstract: Canon's thinking big when it comes to small: the Canon EOS 100D is a brand new line to the EOS range, which undercuts its bigger brother 700D by 25 per cent size and 28 per cent weight. But is this mini a master of all things DSLR? Pocket-lint handled th...
As a mini EOS DSLR, the EOS 100D is bound to gain a lot of fans right off the bat. It's priced to sit between the EOS 1100D and the 600D in Canon's line-up, and as such sees Canon offering more choice then ever for the entry-level user. However, the 100D...

Abstract: Despite the emergence of mirrorless cameras, the market is still dominated by conventional DSLRs. Several companies make excellent SLRs to help consumers get better quality pictures for under $1,000...
Canon did a good job with the EOS SL1. While making it the smallest and lightest DSLR available, they didn't do this by stripping it down in terms of features or performance. In fact the vastly improved Hybrid AF system, which uses both phase sensitive an...
Abstract: Canon vs Nikon: which DSLR system is best? A question that has frustrated many of the world's greatest philosophers and may even have troubled the UN… Our in-depth comparison examines each system's cameras, lenses, key features and much more.Who makes the...
Small body, Light weight, High image quality, Touch screen
Uncomfortable for large hands
It's the small size and light weight of the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 that draw praise from reviewers and users alike. The SL1 is "a mature camera…that's not a burden to bring along," and is suitable for family photographers looking for an easy-to-use DSLR came...
