Out local Best Buy has a Very Small amount of DSLR's in stock, but they do have the 80D & now the SL-2, which I saw & handled briefly yesterday. I really like this camera & am planning on renting the body sometime in May & "road test" it. Small, & would love to be able to replace my aging 300D & 30D with this body. It depends on how well it works for me & finding the funds to buy one.

It is a terrific camera that made me switch back to a DSLR from M4/3. For me. the 9 point AF is quite sufficient and the dual pixel AF is really a gem. The quality lightweight lenses and fixed aperture pancake lenses 24 2.8, 40 2.8 and a little larger 50 1.8 are a real treat to use. The equally lightweight 10-20 4.5-5.6, 18-135 3-5.6 and the 55-250 4-5.6 all STM lenses fast and quiet. Many of the lenses can be picked up refurbished  or used in like new condition for quite a saving. This kit really covers it all and I couldn't be happier. There are many websites that have a buy/sell section that that is frequented by photo enthusiasts with perfect 100% feedback ratings. One such site is fredmiranda.com Check it out.
