I bought this camera right after Christmas because it was on sale for my sister. I've used it a few times since then and have really enjoyed the camera. I think it would be a good camera for someone who is newer to DLSR photography. The battery life and the image quality are great.

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

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.

The camera and lens have been reviewed elsewhere in great detail.

I use an EOS-6D as well as the EOS-100D. Much of the time the EOS-100D is preferred because of its weight and size.

Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls

Absolutely amazing camera regarding quality of photo's,ease of use etc. However it is very vulnerable to water ingress. I got caught in a rain shower and the camera got very slightly wet, and I honestly mean VERY SLIGHTLY. It would not turn on after that.

A fantastic DSLR for amateur photographers - I would definitely recommend this. Great kit lens and a telephoto lens. Good value for money.

Perfect entry level DSLR. Super lightweight and easy to use. Touchscreen is excellent and battery life is great. This camera is perfect as a second camera or as a travel camera. Price may be an issue for some, but as always shop around.

Good battery life; Quiet; Nice features/settings; Excellent image quality; Bright LCD; Solid Operation; Lightweight/Portable; Simple controls/menu; Easy to use

The Canon Rebel SL1 camera is the smallest DSLR model ever produced, but Canon still has created a model that compares favorably to larger DSLR cameras with plenty of advanced features.
