Canon unveils EOS T5i and Rebel SL1

Canon unveils EOS T5i and Rebel SL1

Welcome to a Battery Grip specialist of the Canon Battery Grip

If you haven't already come to grips like Canon BG-E2N Battery Grip, Canon EOS 350D Battery Grip, Canon EOS Rebel XSi Battery Grip, Canon Eos 5D Mark II Battery Grip, Canon EOS 7D Battery Grip, Canon EOS 550D Battery Grip, Canon 60D Battery Grip, Canon EOS 1100D Battery Grip, Canon 5D Battery Grip, Nikon D60 Battery Grip, Nikon D3000 Battery Grip with the fact that Canon won't be releasing a mirrorless camera with DSLR-like performance, you might as well cut your losses now. Instead of replacing the sluggish EOS M with a compelling shooter, the company has decided to focus on shrinking its DSLR. The result, the EOS Rebel SL1, is the world's smallest Digital SLR. SL stands for "super lightweight," which seems appropriate, given that it tips the scale at just over 14 ounces, yet the camera still accommodates EOS lenses, such as the new EF-S 18-55mm IS STM optic that ships in the box. There's an 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, DIGIC 5 image processor, a 1.04M-dot fixed touchscreen, a new hybrid autofocus and standard 9-point AF. It offers sensitivity ranging from ISO 100-25,600, can capture 1080p video at 30 or 24 fps, and it includes a built-in mono mic, along with a stereo mic input jack on the side. Jump past the break for our hands-on.

We spent some time with a pre-production SL1, and while we were able to shoot a bit, we weren't permitted to walk away with any sample images. From a performance perspective, the camera seemed quite speedy, with accurate and fast AF both through the viewfinder and in live view mode. There's a typical assortment of buttons and dials, but due to the reduced footprint, Canon had less room to work with -- as a result, things can feel a tiny bit cramped. Despite the size, however, the grip seemed sufficient, and the camera was comfortable to hold. We also had a chance to check out Canon's new Rebel T5i, which, by the company's own admission, is virtually identical to its predecessor, the T4i. The body finish is slightly different and there's now an option for an 18-55mm STM lens kit, but besides a few mode dial tweaks and some even less significant additions, there's really nothing else to speak of here.

As for pricing, the Rebel SL1 will cost you a bit more than many mirrorless models. It's set to retail for $650 (body only), or $800 with the new 18-55mm STM lens. The T5i will run you $750 (body only), $900 with the 18-55mm optic or $1,100 with an 18-135mm lens. T4i owners looking to build out their collection a bit can pick up that 18-55mm lens by itself for $250 -- unless you plan to buy that optic, however, you might as well snag last year's model if you can find it on sale, given that it's due to be discontinued after all of these new EOS products begin shipping in April. Flip through the gallery for some comparison shots with both the T5i and SL1, then take a closer look at that latter model in our hands-on video below.
