Overview — Canon EOS Rebel SL1

The Canon EOS Rebel SL1 is a compact entry-level DSLR built around an 18MP APS-C sensor paired with Canon's DIGIC 5 image processor. The camera handles an ISO range of 100 to 12800, giving shooters flexibility across a range of lighting situations. Autofocus relies on a 9-point system combining Phase Detection and Contrast Detection, with subject tracking support for moving subjects.

Burst shooting tops out at 4 frames per second, suitable for casual action and everyday photography. The SL1 records video at frame rates from 24fps up to 60fps in 8-bit color, with a 3.5mm stereo microphone jack for external audio input. A Micro HDMI output allows connection to external monitors or displays.

The 3.0-inch Fixed LCD Touchscreen with 1,040,000-dot resolution makes menu navigation and Live View operation intuitive, while an Optical Pentamirror viewfinder provides a traditional shooting experience. The body is constructed from polycarbonate resin with glass fiber, measures 116.8 x 90.7 x 69.4 mm, and weighs just 407g. Storage uses SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards.

The Canon E-TTL flash system is supported, and the camera runs on an LP-E12 battery rated for approximately 380 shots per viewfinder use or 150 shots in Live View per CIPA standards. No image stabilization, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth are present.
