    Canon EOS Rebel SL3

    This camera has everything I need. I'm still learning to use all the menus and adjustments, but I think it will be perfect for my needs. I'm impressed by the many options built into the Canon Rebel SL3. It's a little confusing figuring out what settings to use, but there's always Automatic. To start with, I'm using it mostly for video. I'll add a sunflower pic I took with it to see how sharp it is.

    Nice, gentle step up from ‘point and shoots’.

    I’ve been getting by with the ‘top shelf’ point and shoot cameras since finally(almost permanently) stepping away from my beloved 35mm. I’ve taken some wonderful pictures with those cameras and will always keep one for the sheer convenience. It has to be said though, that these cameras will always be limited by their lenses or rather their lack of options. That was my main reason for stepping back into the SLR realm. I chose the SL3 because it looked to be a good step as a DSLR while maintaining many of the features I’ve become comfortable with in the point and shoots. I had a done a lot of research on it predecessor the SL2 and went to look at it and was told that the SL3 had just been released so I snatched one up. It’s very easy to use and will actually tutor you as you use it. Gives helpful suggestions but you can turn those off if you’d rather not. Has a good Auto focus and in the full automatic setting it is consistent. I would recommend not buying the kit with the 18/55 mm lens. Buy the body and go an extra few hundred bucks for a better lens. The kit lens feels cheap but does an adequate job. It’s very plastic. All in all, it’s a good buy and easy, step into DSLRs. Priced under 600.00, it’s hard to beat and Canon packed all of its ‘latest and greatest’ features into it.

    I've reviewed this camera before and I'll say again, it's a good buy. But I'm using this opportunity to speak of the bad service I received from Geek Squad, which caused me to have to buy this camera for the SECOND time. All because the Geek Squad would not return my camera like I asked them too. As far as the camera is concerned, I enjoy it very much. I do not consider myself a professional photographer (yet). So this camera does a good job of assisting me when it comes to understanding the functions. The built in wifi is a MAJOR plus for shooting photos and uploading to my IG page. The included photos are pics I've taken with the camera.

    I love this camera so much. It was recommended to me by a friend who thought it was a safe bet for a beginner looking to learn photography, and I attest to that 100%. It’s simple to use, yet loaded with the newer features. It has a lot to offer for such a small package. Downside (which has nothing to do with the product itself) is that I caught on to the camera and using it REALLY quickly, and I wish I would’ve done a little more research because I would’ve went full frame instead of APS-C from the start.

    Really Great camera. I sold my nikon and my nikon equipment several months ago, But later regretted it. So I decided to get back into photography as a hobby and thought I would give the Canon camera line a try this time. I am overall very impressed with this camera, But the controls I have a little bit of trouble with, Since I still am used to nikon camera controls.

    This canon camera is great. Although I haven't had this camera that long the quality of the pictures it takes indoors and outdoors is great. I've used the camera in a few family events and I am very pleased and happy with the quality and clarity of the pictures. I would definitely recommend anyone to purchase this camera.
