Questions & Answers

Frank S : I have an old EOS Rebel 35mm film camera and numerous lenses - will those lenses work with this digital camera?David B : The old EF lenses from your EOS Rebel 35mm film camera will work on the SL1. Whether you will be happy with their focusing performance, etc is another question. The EF lens mount is what matters.HENRY A : Probably,but the exposure may be longer. Lenses have become small,faster and lighter. The SL1 is a small camera and will become "top heavy' with the older,heavier lenses.DIENSON N : yes, they areJohn T : If they are EOS lenses they should fit, but depending on the lens, some features may not work and will have to be used in manual modes. It is a good camera I use mine as a back up and when I want to carry a lighter load.
Deb H : what wide angle lens is compatible with canon sl1?STEPHEN D S : The Canon Eos Rebel SL1 accepts any lens made for Canon DSLR cameras, either those for full frame or compact sensor. The ones which seem to balance best with this small and light body are the ES versions. However, for ultimate quality, the L-series lenses provide superb image quality at greater cost and weight. The standard EF series are a compromise between the two. I would say for travel and family photos, the ES series will do all you want, if you are willing to limit your prints to about 11X14 inches. EF lenses will get you to 16X20 easily, and the L- series will let you cover a wall or submit to a large sized magazine for full double-truck editorial photos. The L-series are eye of a gnat at 50 ft. quality. Otherwise, any secondary market lens created for a full or compact sensor Canon DSLR body will also fit and work well.SLOBODAN D : Any, it's a true SLR!DIENSON N : Wide angle I use is 21mm, and okieRICARDO H B : The SL1 has APS-C sensor and can use any lens designed for this sensor in the Canon line. TheAPS-C is slightly smaller than Full-Frame, which increases the effective focal length of the lens by 1.6 times. This results in a slight magnification of the image, giving it a more "zoomed-in" appearance, this applies to any lens including wide angle lens.CHARLES M : The SL1 has standard Canon threading; it will take any lens that any of the other Canon DSLR cameras will take.TERRY D : The camera has a standard Canon mount, so any Canon lens should work.JOHN W : There are several, but my favorite is the Canon 10-22 EFS zoom. A little pricey, but very high quality. There is also a 10-18 EFS lens available at a more modest price, but I haven't tried it.JAMES K : If the lens is an EOS (Canon) mount it should work.DANIEL A : Deb H Canon Camera SL1 is like any other DSLR Canon Camera that can received and compatible to Canon EFS lenses. Canon EF lenses can also be use but it give you a wider picture results than what is viewed in your TTL or in the screen. I use both EF and EFS lenses . I love Canon Camera SL1 specially when traveling because of its size and weight.John T : Any Canon EOS mount lens should work. Just depends on what you want to accomplish.
FRANCINE K : I like the weight of this camera (as I have a neck/Bk problem) but I would like a camera w faster shots per second. Can you recommend on, without adding TOO much weight?HENRY A : I think the camera is quite fast. Perhaps a ultra card would speed it up. I just returned from a European trip and I find the speed to be all I needed. The camera is designed to be small and light and not to be competitive with high dollar cameras. Of course a fast lens would increase the speed in low light.STEPHEN D S : I don't think you will find an SLR camera with interchangeable lenses that is as light as the SL-1 and yet speedier. If you are looking for higher speeds in a c-format one, the 7D will get you to 8 fps without breaking your neck. I you are willing to go to a micro 4/3, the Olympus D series or the Panasonic 4/3 SLRs might be a good choice. They are well made, and except for the most demanding image quality uses, are excellent performers.John T : If weight is a problem I do not know which of the Canon DSLRs would give you a faster shot rate. I also bought the SL1 for the weight and use it much more than I do my T3i. However, I recently purchased the Canon PSSX60 from Adorama and am very pleased with the rate of exposures the weight and the quality of images. It does not match the quality of long telephoto lens at the far end, but does produce acceptable results. Hope this helps.TERRY D : This is a nice camera and with the kit lens, 18-55, which is plastic but very good it is really light weight. However, my favorite camera is the Fujifilm XT1. Many of the controls are accessed directly by buttons. It has 2 speeds for burst speeds. See if one of those are fast enough. It may be heavier than the Canon, but it's still small and light.Ricard C : Sorry I can't answer that question. This is my wife's camera. Any other Canon SLR's with faster operation would be heavier and larger in the hands.RICARDO H B : Absolutely. The weight is this camera is less than the T3 and T5. It is a good small camera. The only issue is that the view touchscreen does not hinge. It is no a major inconvenience for me but it could be for other people. Otherwise has the major components of a DSLR camera.LEE R : use 16 to 300 tamron zoom lens with this camera and agree that camera can be slow in the A setting. here's what i do to solve problem shift wheel up to P or down to FLASH settings. this by passes the time camera needs to acquire target. and i get very sharp pictures if you are shooting fast movement use RUNNING setting.. AUTO is good on still shots where it allows you to shoot a stationary object. as this lens is 16 mm i have had no problem with pictures. skip the standard kit lens and use that money saved buying the body only and put towards a good long zoom lens . tamron and sigma offer good lenses at about 1/3 the cost of camera brands and work just as well. another thing i do to avoid neck problems is buy across the shoulder neck strap like a SUN SNIPER strap, or any similar brand . i have had two neck operations so i know your problem. another tip i can offer is if you have any old or out of date equipment TRADE IT IN. adorama will give you a reasonable price.CLINT G : I do like the SL1 for size and weight, it's a good travel camera. It's not the best sports camera for shooting fast. You might consider the new 7d or the old 7d very good camera. Also consider the 70d its almost as fat as the 7d but has a lot of other features.

No Back Button Focus

I was so disappointed to discover that there is no back button focus on the T8i. If I had known, I would never have purchased this camera. It never crossed my mind that this feature would be deleted.

All around great camera

I bought this camera right after Christmas because it was on sale for my sister. I’ve used it a few times since then and have really enjoyed the camera. I think it would be a good camera for someone who is newer to DLSR photography. The battery life and the image quality are great. I like that the camera is a little more light weight than some of my others.

I’ve taken about 500 pictures in my first week of owning the camera and have been really happy with the quality for price paid.

Amazing camera!!!

I bought this a year ago, and love this camera SO MUCH. It is never slow, always has amazing quality photos, and I love using this with my EFS 18-55mm lens. Super easy to take anywhere, and the touch screen makes it super easy to use.

Great camera

I bought this camera when it first came out. I used it very rarely. My friend borrowed it for one year. Then, 3 weeks ago my daughter and I went to Bali, Indonesia and I brought this camera. Whoa! I didn't know how good this camera is. It's just perfect the camera: the size, the quality of pictures and number of shooting options available. Just now, I upgraded it's firmware to 1.0.1 and I am eager to get out a shoot some more... I strongly recommend this camera.

Best I've ever owned

My girlfriend surprised me at Christmas and gifted me this camera. She knew I was too frugal to buy one on my own. I guess she got tired of hearing me gripe about the mediocre pics I was taking with my phone and old Olympus digital. The Canon Rebel is a terrific camera. I was also suprised with a separate Canon 75-300 mm telephone lens which I use frequently, and often use it for fairly close-up shots. The camera features a seemingly infinite number of settings and options. I've committed seven or eight settings to memory, from frequent use. Admittedly, for many of the advanced settings and for rare configuration needs, I have to consult the manual. The photos are easy to download from the camera. I'm constantly being complimented for pics that I post. I can't wait until the leaves are out on the trees where I live so that I can start taking shots without the background being dominated by grays, whites and blacks!

Good compact camera for travel

I'm a professional photographer, but I don't always want to carry my backpack full of gear when I'm travelling. This camera is a really nice solution for personal travel trips. It's got some really nice features and is small enough to through in a small case. My wife has even used it as a backup camera for weddings.

This was my first DSLR. It is a great little camera. The hand grip is small, but the camera is so light that I never found it uncomfortable. I love how compact it is, because it makes it easy to take in anywhere.

I've owned a T2i, aT5, and an SL1. The SL1 is my favorite due to its compactness. Easy to use, but has all the tools I need in terms of customization. A great buy!

Love this camera package!

I bought this camera package for each of my 2 children. They are 15 years old and had just taken an introductory photography class, so they each wanted a camera for Christmas. This seemed like a good basic package for a beginner to start with. When it arrived the quality of everything in the package lived up to my expectations. The camera and lenses worked well and all of the accessories worked well together. I am jealous and considering trading in my 10-year-old cannon digital camera and upgrading to this package. By the way, the kids could not have been more excited and pleased. Kudos to Adorama!

A lot of performance for a light little camera

This is the perfect take along camera when you need speed and good handling. It works well with the EF-S 18-55 IS STM kit lens and the EF-S 55-250 IS STM telephoto lens. Don't let the the plastic build fool you into thinking those are Not good quality lenses. They are very good and perfect for this camera. Paired with the SL1 you have a very good take along kit because it's small, light and Fast! The EF-S 24mm STM and EF 40mm STM are also very small pancake lenses and work well with this camera. The video good too and the screen refresh rate is very fast. Not sure how many frames per second but doesn't flicker when panned. I know the specs rate the HD at 30 frames per second but the screen refresh may be faster. I know it's faster than my 60D, 70D and EOS M. Speaking of the EOS M, the SL1 uses the same battery. The primary reason I bought the SL1 was there were times my EOS M's autofocus couldn't get the shot due to the subject moving. When using the 55-250 lens with the EF to EF-M adapter, the M is clumsy to use. However I'm keeping my EOS M. It has it's place too. Image quality wise the SL1 is the same as the EOS M and 70D. Excellent! Maybe just very slightly better than the 60D, the SL1 being a little newer model. Auto focus using the viewfinder is quick and accurate. Using the screen in live view is pretty fast in general. There are options to grab focus from most of the screen (80% or you can touch a section of the screen to focus on. Almost as fast as my 70D's dual pixel AF. The touch screen is quick and responsive too. Touch shutter is nice to use when using a tripod. Works well with external Canon flashes.

Gift for my daughter

I gave an SL1 to my daughter as a gift. She is a beginner so it will provide her with plenty of growing room as she learns. I have used a Rebel T2i for 6 years so I was pleased to find many aspects of the SL1 were more advanced than what is provided by my T2i. The SL1 body is very small and is not a good fit for any photographer with moderate to large hands. That is not a problem for my daughter. The shutter is quite quiet compared to what I am used to. The SL1 is not the be-all-and-end-all of DSLRs, nor is it intended to be, but the current pricing is great for what it provides to the beginning or hobbyist photographer.

Excellent Camera

I have always loved Canon, I owned a Powershot A620 when it was released in 2005, but soon failed on me in 2013. Then I recently upgraded my camera in 2015 w/ EOS Rebel SL1 & the quality is still high grade just like my older canon. The freatures & settings it has delivers AMAZING professional photo quality without even photo shopping it. It captures the beauty of nature in Hawaii so perfectly. : love this camera. Highly recommend buying this if this will be your first professional camera. Big Tip, read the instruction manual on each of the setting so you can capture great pictures. :)

Basic SLR

Extremely lightweight, almost to a fault. Just doesn't have the feel of a serious SLR camera...I have had over 8 Canon SLR's over the years, and this is the first one that I don't feel was worth the price. If the end result is what counts, then I suppose it meets better than average standards, but construction wise I'm not sure how durable this model will be. Should have paid more and got a better current model.

Excellent little package

Size and weight are the camera's best features. Picture quality, color, and sharpness are stellar, on par with canon's pro cameras (5d, 1d x, etc.). The only technical shortcoming is the camera's AF is not as advanced as the pro canon cameras; only has 9 AF points. However, the additional AF points and faster AF speed are only necessary for sports and wildlife. As an everyday, go everywhere, travel, family, portrait camera, I'd rather carry less weight and bulk offered by the SL1.

Great Product

The product came like it was brand new. It did come in a box that wasn't meant for my camera like the box had a name of a different camera so that was weird.The camera was well packaged and kept safe though. The camera works great. Love the touch screen and love all the features. Its a a great buy for great price! I have a powershot IS400 which has a 35 optical zovom and 16 mega pixels. It was a good camera but this blows it away. The pictures come out so clear and great low light pictures. The one thing I miss is a further zoom but am going to get a 75-300m Lens. Once I get that my powershot will barely see use. I like that the camera body is compact and you still get such great shots. This near a profesional level camera. The price is unbelievable. You are getting this product for such a steal.

The Go To system

I have an older 1D, a refurbished 5D, a brand new 7D, a Canon 2000, and a couple of others from days gone by. (I go all the way back to the original Rebel, littering my family with older 40's and 50's... What I pack in my field kit is the SL1... and a SPARE SL1 body. This camera is quick, it is easy, it does the job. Less frills and bells and whistles than the heavier (much heavier) pro versions, but then I'm not out there to SHOOT something for publication every day, which doesn't mean I don't stumble across something I just have to shoot. When I do -- out comes the SL1.... If I'm not taking a grip, gaffer, lighting truck, and if I'm not calculating depth of field, precision exposures, and precise resolution then I have NO NEED of one of my (HEAVIER!) cameras. This camera excels in anything you aren't shooting for publication, and CAN be used for publication in a pinch. It's terrific for planning, for testing, for conceptualizing, for storyboarding, for precision angles, for ANYTHING that doesn't require the full field team. It CAN be used to shoot video, it CAN be used for publication. it's 99 percent of the pro systems and if that 1 percent isn't important then it's perfect for everything. Shooting pictures for the college class handouts I do (for photography and video classes)... Check! Shooting conceptualization shots... CHECK! Shooting test shots for lighting angles and intensities... CHECK! And people it is LIGHT!!!! as in NOT HEAVY. I add it to my L- lenses and it's like looking at a frog that's grabbed a 747 with it's tongue! (I typically set one up with at least one of the L lenses on a tripod -- just in case situation.) It would be ridiculous if it didn't work. It can pack INSIDE your suitcase. Add this to a Tamron 18-200 mm Di III lens and you have a FULL KIT IN ABOUT THREE POUNDS! On a professional note it's like carrying a backup revolver in combat. You will never need it until you need it badly and then it's going to do JUST what it's designed to do and it is NOT GOING TO FAIL YOU! Rough, tough, stable, inexpensive, and the batteries last FOR HOURS!!!!

Perfect Camera

I am an amateur photographer and have been taking photos as long as I can remember. I bought this camera back in 2013 around the time when it just came out. I can not say enough how wonderful this camera is and how much it has exceeded my expectations. It works in every way that I've wanted it to from slowing down the shutter speed to take lighting pictures to taking clear quality photos at sporting events. It still continues to amaze me how wonderful the pictures turn out. With having smaller hands, being lightweight and smaller in size compared to other DSLR's is perfect and it doesn't make me feel that I don't have complete control of the camera. Perfect in every way and it will not disappoint!

Nice camera

I purchased this in Dec of 2015 and I didn't know it at the time but it was defective. Whenever I would hold my finger down to take many pictures at a time it would start out taking them fast and then get slower and slower and then to the point I would have to stop taking the pictures. I'm sending it in for repair and hope that will help. This is a nice camera but I don't know if I will ever master it. I have been taking pictures for over 40 years with all types of point and shoot cameras but this camera I can take pictures, with the same setting, and one will turn out good and the other one is terrible. I don't know what the problem is. I have researched the settings for different types of pictures and I still can't master it. I would recommend this camera to someone that wants to spend ALL their time trying to master it.

Great camera!

I recently picked up a refurb'd Rebel SL1 on a recent sale and it has been an excellent camera. It arrived in very good packaging and looks brand new.

I'm really glad I picked it up and plan on purchasing refurb's lenses in the future.

  • Compact Form Factor: The Rebel SL1 is a particularly compact and lightweight DSLR, weighing approximately 13 oz
  • 9-point Autofocus System: A 9-point AF system (including a high-precision dual-cross center point) provides fast and accurate autofocus performance when shooting with the viewfinder. The Center AF point is AF cross-type at f/5.6, Center AF point is vertical line-sensitive at f/2.8
  • Hybrid CMOS AF II: The Hybrid CMOS AF System is utilized when shooting photos and video in Live View. Combining two different kinds of AF-phase and contrast detection-continuous focus tracking becomes faster and more accurate than ever before in Live View
  • ISO Range: An ISO Range of 100-12800 (expandable to 25600) provides low-noise capture in low light situations and saturated colors in bright conditions
  • Continuous Shooting: The Rebel SL1 offers continuous shooting rates of 4 fps for up to 7 consecutive RAW files or 28 full resolution JPEG files
  • Video Snapshot: With the Video Snapshot feature, the SL1 captures short video clips (of 2, 4 or 8 seconds) and combines them automatically into one video file as a snapshot or highlights album. With no editing needed after shooting, the compiled video is perfect for sharing online
  • Optical Viewfinder: The SL1 features an Optical Viewfinder with 0.87x magnification. Shooting with the optical viewfinder ensures steadier images and is effective when shooting in bright conditions when shooting rapidly
  • Scene Intelligent Auto: Scene Intelligent Auto Mode automatically delivers optimally adjusted photos and offers improved scene detection for better results when shooting at night
  • Special Scene Modes: Special Scene Modes including Kids, Food and Candlelight give you advanced presets to ensure the best possible photos under difficult shooting conditions

  • Lens Aberration Correction: The SL1 features lens correction tools that compensate for specific lens characteristics that can affect image quality. Peripheral Illumination Correction adjusts light falloff in the corner of an image based on the type of lens being used
  • JPEG Resizing and In-camera Cropping: For images easier to email, the SL1 can resize JPEG files in-camera, while leaving the original image untouched. And because the SL1 creates large 18MP images, in-camera cropping creates files large enough for direct printing or other purposes
