EOS REBEL SL3 (BK) + EF-S18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM kit With EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS STM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

There isnt much to dislike about Canons SL3 SLR camera. I buy camera bodies often, keep them a year and then often upgrade (I travel for a living). I have yet to find a really good POINT & SHOOT camera to carry for my travels. They always let me down (Canon included) in performance. Now comes another SL series Canon camera (I thought the Sl1 and SL2 were dismal and cheap) called the SL3. Still offered in the tacky White version as well as the classic black body. Im not about to list all of the specs (you can read those on your own by visiting the Canon website) here but I will keep this basic and to the point. Ive purchased two of these (one on the day it was released and another from Amazon). Lets go right to the processor (DIGIC 8)... This is a rocket ship processor in speed and lighting. Dark closets, no flash, no tripod, etc, etc, etc all still produced vivid photos when I tested the SL3 I had just purchased. In fairness, I did use a SanDisk Extreme Pro 300MG card for speed but that card had nothing to do with lighting. I also used a L-Series IS lens which was e real reason for the superior lighting conditions produced. The camera body is made in Taiwan. Mostly plastic and very lightweight. The GRIP of the body is fabulous. The so-called KIT lens (18-55mm) is sub-par in performance but its an excellent lightweight inexpensive lens if weight is an issue. The SL3 will accept both EF-S lenses and EF lenses. Because I travel and carry way too much equipment, I wanted Canon to produce a fantastic Point & Shoot. They did not. Along comes the SL3 (red flags already after the Sl1 and SL2). Was I ever wrong... I was so glad I tried the SL3. Lightweight. Even with the basic lens kit (F4 18-55mm lens) made mostly of plastic, it still did a great job of beating out any Point & Shoot. Plus at only 2 lbs for body and lens with battery. It was a BMW in performance despite being inexpensive, made of all plastic and a bit flimsy at times for switches and controls. This is no Canon 6D Mark II or 5D IV. Not even close. But keep the cost in mind. Keep the weight in mind. Mostly, keep that fabulous Digic 8 processor in mind. So impressive. A great choice. Actually, a bit under-priced I think. Canon hit a home run in the SL3.

I am in love with this camera! Before I upgraded to this one I had the T3i, but this camera is worlds ahead of the T3i. The menus are different, I can connect it via wifi to a number of devices, the pictures are so clear and crisp. There are a multitude of settings for manual and auto and I love the fact that the screen moves and isnt stationary. I seriously cant say enough about this camera. Ive only had it for a few days, but I love it.

Im used to a Canon 5DM4 but bought this for a light travel camera where vacation photos were only reason. It performed great and although I had to learn the non-professional aspects of this camera, it was fun using the scene mode and filter mode. I dont regret getting it as it took very nice photos and was one third the weight of my 5DM4, which made it easy to carry around. It showed me that you dont need a professional level camera to take great family photos.

Perfect camera for any amature photographers or just want to take casual photos of trips, etc. I actually own much better cameras like the Canon 5D Mark IV but still bought this camera to dedicate to a side prohect. I had the SL1 when it came out and I just think these are fantastic little cameras. Definitely perfect for a beginner.
