Canon has recently known a stunning arrival into the world of photography with the EOS 100D, or, as the Americans call it, the Rebel SL1. This particularly gorgeous piece is in fact the world’s smallest and lightest DSLR, which is quite a lot something to consider.
The device is based on the EOS M compact mirrorless camera, one of the most recently-launched Canon gadgets, and it boasts some of the technology applied to the EOS M, among which we mention the 18 MP CMOS APS-C sensor which can capture videos from ISO100-12800 to ISO6400 at 30 FPS with continuous auto-focus.
The EOS 100D works with the in-house DIGIC 5 processors which are able to provide shots up to 4 FPS in burst mode. This system mixes pretty nicely with a 9-point auto-focus system which is in turn viewable through a 3-inch 1040k dot touchscreen LCD. The rear of the camera sports several filters which can be easily applied by all sorts of photographers, with no regard to any expertise.
By far the most important aspect of the Rebel SL1 is that it is compatible with all series of lenses signed Canon EOS – if you already own an EOS, you can have the lens of your old camera mounted on the 100D. Don’t mind the bulky appearance if the lens is a bit too large, it does genuinely work.
The stunning Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 arrives with an EF-S 18-55m f/3.5-5.6 IS STM kit lens priced at $799. Availability starts, according to Canon, with April 2013.
