Should the name of this forum be adjusted?

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 Wouldn't suggest buying one today given the internal tech is just too outdated.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.

Relatively small??? its the smallest DSLR in the world...and smaller than some m43

No it isn't once you mount a lens. With the 18-55mm it's larger then the competing Nikon since they use smaller collapsible zooms.

Yes it is, you can mount the EF-S 24 or EF-S 40, both lenses are small and provide excellent IQ and value that is not easily matched in other systems.

Even if you compare it to Nikon's collapsible zoom, the Nikon lens is 9mm shorter but the d3300 is 7mm deeper, you save 2mm overall. Then the D3300 is 7mm longer and 7mm higher so the SL1 is still smaller even with the lens plus you don't have to hassle with extending and retracting the lens.

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

i have had no problems with the af....

It's a limited system with just 1 crosstype. Focus and recompose is a dinosaur technique these days and it needs improvements in that regard in order to be competitive.

As a satisfied owner of the SL1, I have no problem with the AF. More points would be great but I would not want to sacrifice small size for it.

All mirrorless can focus with great accuracy across the whole frame. Nikon D5200 has 39-af points from which 9 are crosstype and it costs 400 bucks at the moment.

SL1 fills a niche that no mirrorless or D5200 can fill.

9 all crosstype would be bare minimum while the 19 point system found in the 70d and current rebels would be excellent. The 80d will likely get the 7d mk2 system to differentiate itself above the rebels. Or Canon makes a new middle road system. who knows.

I owned a 7DII and know how awesome the AF coverage is but I did not want a crop camera that large. The SL1 is a great compromise.

wifi will be nice.. tilt screen if it can be had with no size penalty to the screen or body or losing any buttons

That means only up and down since articulation to the side will make the body wider due to the hinge. This is fine since many mirrorless share this design trade-0ff.

I would prefer the SL2 not to share design features with mirrorless, the SL1 already has better ergonomics than any similarly sized mirrorless camera I have used.

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 grip is surprisingly good...most or not going to get the 100D for a 70-200F2.8

It's the smallest Dslr grip bar none. For anyone not having baby hands using such a lens = big challenge.

A bigger grip (and battery) would be welcome, but this is a non-issue with the lenses I use on this camera.

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.

i think canon should do 2 replacements...one as this one, which is just most the bits pinched from the latest rebel so thats probably the 760/750D if it comes out soon..

and do a 100Dpro with some weather sealing the best APS-c sensor canon do, probably from the 80D very good AF, a pentaprism inplace of the pentamirror,, better video like the 70D is now better buffer and FPS but canon will have to keep it below the 80D ...will put a lot on the price

Don't think that many people are interested in the pro one with the big jump in price. Ergonomics fast access to controls is just important in that part of the market. Which is why some mirrorless become bigger body wise then the 100d.

You need some space to place those buttons without it becoming fidly.

SL1 is one of a very few that managed to have a great user interface in a small package, I suspect Canon will try to preserve that characteristic in a replacement for it.

My list of requests is pretty short:

• Articulated (or tilt) screen
• Exposure comp in manual with auto ISO
• Play button able to be programmed for full zoom at point of focus

Features I would like to see but not in exchange for a larger size

• Dual pixel
• focus point coverage
• FPS/bigger buffer
• Weather sealing
