Is upgrading to 200D worth it?

The new sensor in the SL2 is the same as the 80D and is Canon's best APC sensor to date. It has brought Canon into being competitive with the best sensors available. If you're a Canon person you will like/love the SL2. I have the SL1 also and the SL2. Other than an additional stop of low noise ISO, it has a few must have features for my style of shooting. The articulating screen is a must. Low angles, high angles and every shooting angle possible. Somewhat faster auto focus is a bonus. The dual pixel technology is the killer advance. And finally for me is the exposure compensation button near your thumb. I am always tweeking my exposure and going through the menu is takes too much time for moving subjects. If you need more features Canon has a slew of other choices, but nothing beats the size/weight and stealth of the SL2. Good luck!

I'm indeed Canon person and I started photography with the 1300D as noted in my post. I have been learning basics and few additional tricks and now I feel I need more features. 1300D is missing a lot of features I would like to test and maybe get to use more often.

Do you know how the timelapse feature works? It really interests me and 1300D lacks it.

Also do you know how high ISO can be without the noise ruining the picture? I have been reading all marketing speeches but I want to hear it from a casual photographer. Right now my Canon 1300D shows noice at ISO 800. I hope that isn't the case with SL2.

I have also heard it has a silent mode for taking photos. Is it really silent when taking photos?

In my country I can get SL2 body for 550 euros which is a steal! You basically get so many good features for such a low price. Many people like to compare it to 80D. They say it is like 80D but without so many focus points.
