I have the SL1, and also 70D which I've been using the most recently, today I broke the focusing screen on my 70D. So, while waiting for spare parts to arrive(10 days, they come with 5 screens in each box), I took out the SL1 again and can just comfirm how very nice it feels. Much smaller and lighter than the 70D but it has all the "must" functions, nothing unnecessary and AF is surprisingly fast. Smaller viewfinder, yes, but it's big enough to be useful. I wont feel seriously crippled using it for the next ten days.

It feels sort of clean, like a back to basics camera, I'm happy to have it as a backup/travel DSLR.
