Hey look, it's now changed to "Canon Rebel (EOS 300D-760D) Talk".

I was close with my first suggestion

That's great!

means the 1200d no longer has a place.

good riddance.

What about the 100D?

It desperately needs an update. Wouldn't suggest buying one today given the internal tech is just too outdated. Actually it was already dated at launch.

I agree that the 100d as a series would be a good entry point in the Canon EF world.

Relatively small, easy to use, good affordable lenses-accessoires (10-18mm 24mm F2.8) would be the key selling points.

It does need a better sensor, AF system, Battery, swivelscreen, processor (1080p 60fps), internal timelapse, WiFi and it needs it now.

They can keep the body more or less the same perhaps a deeper grip like the Nikon D5500 which could also house the bigger battery. Better battery life would be a key advantage over mirrorless options. Giving it limited juice just destroys one key advantage of Dslr's.

The current 24mp Canon sensor is not the best but it is good enough for this place in the market.

AF system is tough choice between 2 existing systems. 9 all crosstype for affordability and saving the point in buying the 750d/760d. Or the 19 all crosstype for longevity. You can already get the 39 9-crosstype af module in a D5200 for cheap these days. Just a matter of time till they launch a D3500 with that module.

The other points are pretty straight forward. Canon has them for years now with good implementation too.
