When looking at entry-level DSLR cameras, they all start to look the same after a while. Sure, camera manufacturers can add things like Wi-Fi capabilities and touchscreen LCDs, but those items don't change the look of these cameras.

The Canon SL1 is the smallest and lightest DSLR that we've ever reviewed, delivering DSLR performance and image quality in a body that's almost as small as today's mirrorless camera models. Its features and image quality rival those of its bigger siblings, the Canon Rebel T4i and T5i.

This 18 megapixel camera is Canon's smallest DSLR, competing with the largest mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. Fitted inside the relatively petite body are the mechanicals and electronics of the larger 700D, including the hybrid auto-focus system to improve focus tracking in video mode.

While the SL1 looks a lot like other EOS Rebel cameras at first glance, once you hold this model you'll notice the thing that sets the SL1 apart from its Rebel brethren -- its small size.

Smaller size and lighter frame is definitely noticeable versus other DSLRs; Seems to have a sturdy feel and good build quality; SL1 remains easy to hold with well-sized right-hand grip; despite small camera body; Extremely fast performance in Viewfinder mode; Image quality is very good versus others...

If you are looking for the smallest, most portable Canon DSLR around, look no further – the EOS 100D admirably fits the bill. For many a photographer, foremost on their mind is the size and weight of the camera they intend toting with them everywhere.

I'm expecting my first baby soon and wanted a quality camera to take pictures. This is my first DSLR and it's a wonderful starter! The pictures are great even on auto, and I'm excited to learn about the manual features and settings as I grow my knowledge in using this camera.
