so after years of mirrorless (both m4/3 and APSC), i needed a camera with an optical viewfinder. i have some arm and wrist injuries, so i needed the camera to be light, and while it's not perfect, after lots of reading, trying cameras and considering my actual needs, i ordered an SL1 (100D) with STM kit lens and 55-250 STM. i've rented one before, and liked it a lot. while i'd have liked a bigger OVF, a second control dial and a different grip, i find that it's the best compromise while i'm doing PT for my wrist and shoulder. if things improve, i can move up to a T6s or just maybe an 80D.

i've owned, used and enjoyed an a620 (which is the camera that got me into digital photography from film), a 30D, sx230, sx280 and an sx50, so i do love canon. i'm happy to come back to the canon family, and look forward to shooting my new camera, and am planning to add a 35mm f/2 IS and a long, cheap but light 75-300.

Congrats!

This is such a neat little camera and a lot of fun to use.  I even put together a lightweight kit for travel or when on the run.   These are:

18-55 STM

55-250 STM

10-18 STM

24mm STM

Also if needed, a small but older 220EX or 420EX flash.
