Nice little camera but build quality is questionable.

Sorry to hear about the rubber peeling off etc. I've had problems with two Olympus and Tamron lenses but so far all of my Canon DSLR cameras and lenses have been good. I'm using three Canon T2i (550D) and Canon T3i (600D) cameras. They are pretty solid and reliable. Why do you find that the Canon SL1 (100D) camera does not do well with action or sports photos?

It's buffer for RAW files is tiny and 4 FPS is slow for sports - I find 6 FPS good enough, no need for 10 FPS like the 7D MKII, but 4FPS is slow. It's an entry level camera. For sports they make the 1D series, or 7D MKII. Not really an issue - just pointing it out.
