I've seen family members use SLR and DSLR in the past and wrote it off as too hard to do. Use of this Canon SL1 camera is like school. You can start at the very beginning with LOTS of help and move up in gradual steps to use of it by hand with lots of accessories.

dvd cd and paper instructions; "just right" size for smaller hands

might be "too small" for larger hands

I was hesitant at first to spend the money that I spent on this camera, but I told myself that my daughter is only 2 once and I can't justify NOT spending the money. I have already captured so many precious moments that other cameras just can't capture.

light-weight in comparison to other DSLR cameras

the video quality could be better

Takes really nice pictures and easy to operate and Great priced from buy dig I will make more purchases from them

Great camera

Not sure if any

Even if you are new to photography, you will not have any difficulty in using this Canon EOS 100D. It suits almost all the shooting conditions and delivers bright images.

The 3-inch touch screen; miniaturization of SLR design; Rubberized handgrip; APS-C sensor; the Creative Filters

9 point AF cross-type central sensor; reduced battery life; Price tag of Canon EOS 100D

With cameras, one seems to always want something 'better'. I felt the same way after researching these SLRs and getting this one because of the price. I'd rather have higher MPs (like 24 - 30) or an extra zoom lens, which other combos had.

It is a very good compact DSLR. Image quality also is good. The main reason why I bought this camera is the weight. Unfortunately if lack the remote wireless flash trigger and stereo microphone.

There are not too many words needed when it comes to cameras, there is the proof, my latest images: https://www.photoion.co.uk/blog/why-i-swapped-my-professional-for-the-cheapest-option-available/

The 18-megapixel EOS 100D is the literally smaller brother to the 700D sitting at the summit of Canon's APS-C sensor incorporating DSLR range. Indeed, the sales pitch for the 100D is that it is the world's smallest and lightest DSLR at the time of writing.

Smaller and lighter build makes carrying DSLR body and lens less of a drag; yet more compact proportions haven't obviously compromised picture quality

The lighter construction results in more obvious camera shake in lower light; no angle adjustable LCD plus a smaller handgrip than the 700D which costs just 50 quid more

The compact proportions of the 18 megapixel Canon EOS 100D and its relatively lightweight feel make it an ideal holiday camera, for when you want that DSLR quality, while the smaller size also makes it less intimidating for human subjects, resulting in shots that feel less 'forced'.

Compact body; Lightweight; Good image quality

No tilting LCD; Indoors shots can be soft; Not much cheaper than 700D

The interchangeable lens camera market has shifted significantly over the past couple of years. Where once the bulky DSLR was the undisputed king, now smaller, compact system cameras are making significant headway into stealing the crown.
