no need. Canon's dual pixel autofocus is the best live view autofocus out there and the SL2 has it.

Gotta agree with Lepewhi on this point actually (being both a mirrorless and DSLR owner myself). IME mirrorless adds another layer of versatility for the video shooter (esp a casual video shooter). Since mirrorless sports an EVF instead of an OVF, there are times when being able to shoot video using the Viewfinder can be a huge advantage, ie. when tracking moving subjects. Plus the face acts as a natural (3-point) stabilizer for those times when you don’t have a tripod or stabilizing gimbal/rig handy!
