I love your bird photos, especially the last one. I believe the Canon SL3 does not have as many cross-type AF points as the Canon T7i (800D) or Canon T8i (850D) cameras. You might check that on the internet to see if my memory about that is correct.

thank you

i'm pretty sure you're right about the T7i and the SL3.

it appears the T6S has 19 AF points, all cross types while dpreview says the SL3 has 9 AF points that "includes a new Spot AF", so it doesn't sound like those measly 8 other points are cross types. my old SL1 had the same 9 AF points but with a different center point that was a cross type, as i recall.

it's a shame that 2 generations and years later, canon can't spring for more focus points or more cross types. i know they don't want to cannibalize their own sales, but apparently they think those of us who need smaller cameras don't need modern AF.
