Canon took the standard Rebel and whittled it into a smaller body, removing only a few features, while adding one very important one: improved live view autofocus. The result is a mature camera for the family photographer that's not a burden to bring ...
Abstract: Being a fan of all of the flagship cameras makes it painful for me to say that this is an unexciting offering from Canon's lower end consumer camera into the DSLR game. With Nikon and Sony releasing much more advanced consumer offerings, I often wonder wh...
