Is the E-PL6 the best camera deal at the moment?

Well now that I've had a couple days with my first DSLR, just wanted to say a few things which I'm sure most here already know.

Low light AF, at least on this SL1 and likely other Rebels and entry level Nikons, is pretty poor compared to all the m4/3 cams I've owned. Quite slower and sometimes just gives up hunting. At least unless you use the pop-up flash to assist. I remember my GX7 being able to focus in a barely lit room even with the assist lamp disabled. I assume this is something to do with the different camera tech between the systems. Bummer.

OVF AF in decent to good light is incredibly quick though, which caught me off guard. Faster than RX100, G5 and GX7 when out and about. It's just so strange trying to get used to relying on a viewfinder though after always composing with an LCD. Liveview LCD AF is as everyone knows with DSLRs, pretty mediocre. It's usable though when set to Quick Focus but that has the annoying side effect of a brief blank screen as the mirror lifts.

Canon's 24mm pancake is amazing and honestly just as sharp than the Panny 20mm 1.7. Really nice little lens that could double for macro work, lets you get very close. Only cost me $130 versus $270 that I had paid for a used Pan 20mm with its turtle slow AF. Just wish it was f/1.8 instead of f/2.8 but no big deal.

The SL1 could really use focus peaking, no idea why Canon didn't bother adding it. Even my sold RX100 had it so I actually assumed every DSLR would. Manual focus can be quite a guessing game but thankfully it's rarely needed.

The SL1 body itself really reminds me of the Panasonic G5, feels very similar to hold and maybe even lighter in weight. The Canon has a superior grip though with better material.
