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.

no, flip out lcd screen is better than having the camera even higher at eye level πŸ™„πŸ€”πŸ˜²

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!

You don’t need that unless your focal lengths are long plus Csnon has IS in all its ef -s zooms
