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. Image quality in the category is generally very similar...

The Canon SL1 is a hit. I had a blast using this camera – it was the most fun I have had with a DSLR since the 5D Mark II came out nearly 5 years ago. Spec-wise, there’s nothing that special about the camera; however, when you put Canon’s little 40mm p...
Smallest and lightest DSLR we've ever reviewed, Delivers very good image quality, almost exactly the same as the Canon T4i/T5i, but in a tiny package; all three cameras share the same APS-C-type, 18-megapixel CMOS sensor, Very accomplished at shooting ...
Despite its reduced size, body not as small as most compact system cameras because it still has to accommodate the DSLR mirror, LCD is not articulating (like it is on the T4i/T5i), Dynamic range and high ISO performance not as good as some competing mo...
