The SL1/100D already can have many compact lenses mounted on it:
- Voigtlander 20mm f3.5 SL II. Lovely metal built pancake. MF only, but a joy to use.
- Voigtlander 28mm f2.8 SL II. Lovely metal built pancake. MF only, but a joy to use and makes for a lovely "standard prime" on APS-C.
- Voigtlander 40mm f2 SL II. Lovely metal built pancake. MF only, even a bit nicer than the Canon 40mm (nicer bokeh).
None of the above have autofocus.
None of the above need autofocus.
- Canon EF 40mm f2.8 STM. Nice and compact pancake.
Um yeah I know.
Good.
- Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX DC HSM (A). Nice big aperture standard prime.
Too bulky and heavy and I don't like older Sigma lenses.
It is NOT bulky and NOT heavy for an 1.4 lens. It is super new too (2013).
- Canon EF 24mm f2.8 (and 24mm f2.8 IS USM). Compact primes with good optics.
- Canon EF 35mm f2 (and 35mm f2 IS USM). Compact standard primes with good optics.
Again aware, a bit expensive the new versions are. Think pancake, small.. light, affordable. Like the 40mm f/2.8 Canon you pointed out.
They are very affordable and they are small and they are light. If you can't afford the new ones, look at the old ones. Pancakes usually have horrible bokeh and stronger CA.
- Tokina 35mm f2,8 DX macro. Discontinued, but a compact and nice 1:1 macro and standard prime.
Discontinued, nuff said.
You can buy one. "Nuff" said.
- Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II. Light, cheap and compact, usable for shorter portrait lens.
A viable alternative, so far I count 2 lenses. But it's not a pancake design.
Oh, now this is a "viable alternative", but the 24mm and 35mm not? Ok...
For portrait primes, the Tamron 60mm f2 Di II macro and Canon EF-S f2.8 USM Macro are nice and compact also.
You missed the point of the poll. Pancake lenses. Small, light, and thin- more so than the current lenses in the lineup. Exactly the reason why Canon made the 40mm f/2.8 in the first place.
Canon made the 40mm because it is a 40mm. They are easy to make for EOS mount (44mm flange distance) in pancake design. There are two other pancake design focal length lenses available even (Voigtlander), and if you dismiss them because they are manual focus, you are shooting yourself in the foot. Plenty of small lenses available for the SL1/100D, ranging from 20mm to 60mm. Stop moaning?

Opinion noted.
Nobody is moaning though. It's a discussion, disagreeing with you isn't moaning.

The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.

Fujifilm's X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company's range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional film productions or even A-cameras for amateur and independent productions. We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class.
What’s the best camera for around $2000? These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both the speed and focus to capture fast action and offer professional-level image quality. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best.
Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. We've selected a group of cameras that are easy to keep with you, and that can adapt to take photos wherever and whenever something memorable happens.
What's the best camera for shooting sports and action? Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting sports and action, and recommended the best.
