Just thought I'd post to share my experience for others.

I owned the XTi since it was new, although it still worked fine, I decided I wanted to upgrade.

I was thinking about the T4i, then the T5i - I also had read a little about the SL1. I went into the Henrys store in town and looked at both the T5i and SL1. Expecting I would purchase the T5i. I wasn't aware that the T5i was noticeably larger than my old XTi.

After a little pondering, I purchased the SL1 with the kit lens, and am very happy with it. It's even smaller than the XTi, substantially smaller than the T5i. It feels like it is better bulit. High ISO images are much better than my old XTi, and it focuses much faster. I even like the touch screen, but didn't think I'd ever use it.

Just the thoughts of a XTi owner who has moved to a SL1.
