Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought it as a back up to my EOS 80D but I became very close to it since its good image quality ( almost similar to 80D) , handling ( smaller and lighter) and sharing the same lens have convinced me to use it quite more than 80D. It does not have all the technical qualities and developments of 80D but it is a great camera.

I chose this camera because of its light weight and compact size. It does take quality photographs. Pretty easy to use as well.

Bought this as a gift for my wife. The smallest camera of the SLR's out there but fully featured. Easy to use and takes great/fast pictures in the dark with it's high ISO capability. Strongly recommend it to starting photographer and definitely for a woman with small hands. I chose the bundle with the 300 zoom so we can photograph our kids playing sports etc.

Great camera with many features, maybe too many for me. Takes great photos and really lets the inner photographer come out but still guides you through great shots. This is a small bodied camera with all the features of its larger siblings. My wife likes the size and still have a full size sensor.

Use my SL1 as a backup for my Canon 70 D. Makes a great museum setup as it is very small and light. I use it with a footed Monopod to help stabilize camera for slower shutter speeds which are sometimes needed in museums with low light displays. Very compact and takes great images.

I was looking for a DSLR that I could take great pictures with but would also be small enough and light enough to travel with. This camera meets both of these requirements.

Compact, relatively small (for a DSLR) camera, with good build quality. Auto-focus is fast and optical image stabilization allows sharp pictures. Nice set of features without too many bells and whistles. Good for a beginner looking for the first DSLR.

first digital camera and couldn't be happier, easy to understand and learn on this camera. it is small and still easy to hold on to. the lenses are good and will probably never get rid of them, if you do a lot of getting around like hiking or other things of the sort and want to capture good quality images this camera would probably be all you would ever need.

My husband loves taking pictures. He has a very expensive, but older camera. He said this one is 10x better! So small and light but takes amazing photos!

My t4i quit working and I love how this camera is smaller but still has all the features I loved on my t4i!

Compact in size. Great quality photos. Easy to use.

Great deal for the price! This camera is small enough to carry on trips and vacations. Takes excellent quality photos. Great for a beginner or intermediate photographer. It's not too advanced to figure out, but I'm sure there are lots of functions that a professional would figure out and use. We purchased it to take photos of our one year old, and we love how the pictures have turned out both digital and print.

Bought my 11 year old granddaughter a Samsung point and shoot that we kept breaking. However, she had shown such an interest in photography and was getting such great shots, I decided that she probably needed to move up to a DSLR. Although I am a Nikon person, and have Nikon lenses, the small size of the CanonSL1 appealed to me. I was fearful that if the camera was too large, she would not enjoyed it. We got the package with the long zoom and she has thoroughly enjoyed it and has been able to use the controls. Takes great pictures. I highly recommend for tweens and teens wanting to learn photography. I would like to have it as well. I have a Sony nex as a small walk around camera but the canon is much better.

I am taking a Digital Photography class and this camera is working very well. I am taking photos that are just as good if not better than the higher priced camera's that my fellow students have. The 75-300mm zoom lens is phenomenal as I took it with me on a Rock climbing trip and the photos with the zoom lens are amazingly clear. Perfect for the budding photographer. The smaller size is ideal for travel in my Hiking/camping pack. Have average size hands and I have no complaints about the compact size or the controls. Cons: Wi-Fi capability would of been nice.

This is the smallest greatest dslr camera amazing features and. Touchscreen get it

If you are a beginner and like to take long sessions in taking pictures then this camera is for you due to It's smallness and very lightness . Don't be fooled by It's size it takes high-quality pictures .

I love the smaller size and lightness of the camera.

This is the perfect camera especially for beginning photographers. I bought this camera for my daughter and she loves it as she says besides taking perfect pictures, she found it easy to use and loves that it is lightweight and compact. I would definitely recommend this camera.

What I like most about this camera is it's size and weight. Super light and compact, but still many options and fabulous pics.

It is a great camera, looks small all my friends said they even want to buy one
