The viewfinder in the SL2 is different than the T7i. The SL2 gives a larger "view" and it is brighter than the T7i. This is likely due to it having a different auto focus system than the T7i. The T7i has more capable auto focus but the trade-off is it makes the viewfinder less bright since it has more auto focus points and has an overlay to the display that presents more information to the user than the SL2 does. I too liked the bigger, brighter viewfinder display of the SL2 which is one reason I bought it over the T7i and 77D. However, keep in mind that the T7i has a better auto focus system than the SL2.

you got it ....

is this plan good yet ??? for beginner

That is an excellent package to start with and it might be all you ever need as these lenses are just flat out fantastic performers. I own them all and am very pleased with the photos they can produce. They offer a nice combination of image quality while being small and lightweight to carry around. As I get older, not having to carry a lot of heavy gear is something I desire more and more. You might consider adding the EF-S 24mm f/2.8 prime lens to this set. I will give you more low light shooting capability on the wider end and it is very economical to purchase.

Here are a few photos taken with the SL2 and some of the lenses you plan to buy. Click on the "Original Size" link under each photo to see the full resolution and quality of each picture.

I love that dog photo

It is one I like also. Her name is Lily and she is a three legged wonder. She was diagnosed with cancer in January of 2017 and did six months of chemo after her rear right leg was amputated. So far she has beaten the odds and we are blessed to still have her with us.

This photo was taken when she likes to lay on her window bed in the morning sun. It also shows how much bokeh you can get at 45mm with a f/6.3 aperture setting. The newer, smaller EF-S 18-55mm f/4.0-5.6 is such a wonderful lens to use. IMO, it punches way above the $87 price I paid for it.

Aw, sorry to hear Lilly is sick. Make the most of the time you have.

Interesting info. about the lens. I bought the SL2 yesterday. It came with the lens though I figured I'd stick with my Sigma 17-50 for a kit lens. I've read great things about the new Canon kit lens and your message makes me think I should try it out.

can i see some shot your new SL 2/

Sure. I shoot raw and edit all my pictures in Lightroom. I took 63 pictures yesterday (right after buying the camera). These are a few of my 3 favorites.

I was a little sloppy editing the pine tree picture but the grain around the needles mostly disappears if you download the higher quality JPEG.
