Re: Upgrade help from 400D

Thank you Allen. I never considered SL1 so far but after reading your post I looked at the reviews and it seems to be a good performer considering it's smaller size. Only difference tat might matter to me seems to be the articulating LCD screen (though I'm not sure how often it comes handy as I prefer to shoot using viewfinder) and the other differences such as 9 cross type focus points or wireless flash trigger may not make much difference to me.

Seems to be a good option. Looks like I have to end up selling my 17-55 F2.8 and go with 24mm pancake lens to have a lighter setup.

Gunzeye,

I was in the same situation a couple years ago, wanting to replace my 400D (XTi). I was going to purchase the newest Rebel xxxD at the time until I handled the SL1 at the store. I bought it because of it's small size and light weight. I've been very happy since.
