The Canon EOS Rebel SL3 (also known as the EOS 250D) is the the latest in the company`s lineup of ultra-compact DSLR cameras, and comes with a 24MP APS-C sensor that has accurate and easy-to-use Dual Pixel autofocus.
Not only does the SL3 have one of the best beginner-friendly `guide` modes we`ve seen on a camera (the same as Canon`s very similar, but bigger Rebel T7i), but it`s capable of taking great images under a wide range of circumstances. It`s also fun to use, comfortable to hold, and has insane battery life: provided you use the optical viewfinder.
Key specifications:
24MP APS-C sensor with Dual Pixel on-sensor Autofocus
Optical viewfinder with secondary 9-point autofocus system
4K video recording (with 1.7x crop)
Fully articulating rear touchscreen
Excellent `guide` mode for beginners
Wi-Fi with Bluetooth for image transfer and remote camera control
Impressive 1,070 shot battery life (CIPA rating) using optical viewfinder
Passable 320-shot battery life (CIPA rating) in live view with Dual Pixel AF
Even as the `compact` DSLR model, the Rebel SL3 shares its sensor, processor and much of its feature set with Canon`s existing (and much smaller) EOS M series of mirrorless cameras. So why would you opt for the SL3 over, say, the Canon EOS M50, which will offer almost identical image quality? It comes down to a handful of personal preferences, particularly when it comes to viewfinders. The SL3 has an optical viewfinder, compared to mirrorless cameras` electronic ones.
Put simply, an electronic viewfinder allows you to easily preview your exposure settings, but some people prefer the more `natural` and immediate view of the world that an optical viewfinder provides. We`ll look at the differences in more depth in just a bit.
