Re: Rebel SL1 or Mirrorless (Fuji or M43)

I presently own the SL1. Previously I owned a Panasonic G5 MFT. While I enjoyed the G5 I find the SL1 to be a far superior camera for photos. I do believe the G5 and most other MFTs will all be better at video.

The main reason for keeping the SL1 was the canon colors and availability of lenses. Yes MFT lenses have come a long way but nowhere near what is available to canon. I also found I could spend allot less on Canon lenses. I have also tested the Olympus you mention and surprisingly found I preferred the Panasonic. The Panasonic had lens stabilization much like the SL1. I never found it to a problem. I did like the rotating screen on the MFTs. It was useful at times.

It may sound funny but the short period I had the Olympus and long time with the Panny, I found the pictures looked kind of Flat. No real depth like the SL1. I also found the colors on the SL1 superior to both.

They are all fine cameras and I'm sure you will be happy with your choice. Good Luck!
