Re: SL2 and EOS-M series have their own strengths....

Sl2 takes efs lenses as well as ef

I assumed it would (just like every other APS-C DSLR from Canon) but my wording didn't quite convey that. What I ought to impress is that in addition to the EF/EFS lenses, the EOS-Series has access to the native EF-M lenses.... whereas the SL2 has only EF/EFS lenses.
.
And if the SL2 has DPAF, then it's virtually an EOS M5 in terms of size, use and practicality. I would imagine that the SL2 would still be slightly (noticeably!) faster and be physically more robust. If you were trekking into the Andes or attending a major football game as a fan, the SL2 would be your choice. Of course, for someone who takes photography seriously, the SL2 is still an entry-level camera. I'd be inclined to carry it as a backup to a higher model of DSLR.
