The New Canon SL1 is now shipping from Bhphoto.com. While I haven’t actually gotten my hands on one yet, I should within the next few days. This is essentially very, very similar to a T5i Rebel, just smaller.
We are wrapping up the Canon T5i Crash Course tutorial DVD, which should be ready for download before next Wednesay. Once completed we will get the ball rolling on the SL1 Crash Course training video. The Nikon D7100 Crash Course training video is also in production, but it will take a few more weeks. I am still in Az and will be working on the videos here.
There is a good review of the camera here: BH Photo’s Review on the SL1
List price on the SL1 with a kit lens is just $799.
Might this be an upgrade (in image quality) from a T1i? Probably not yet ready for FF, but I’ve seen some nice shots from this and the kit lens. My lenses are a Sigma 17-50, Canon 100 2.0 and 200 2.8 II so I’d get the body-only.
Thanks.
