SL1 vs M43
1

I've had terrible luck with the generation of M43s I've sampled. Two spontaneously fried and I need to send them both back.

The SL1 is wonderfully quiet for a DSLR with its "silent mode" and that's the main reason I've chased mirrorless cameras, the quieter shutters, along with their manual focus aids.

I'm not willing to spend on a newer generation of mirrorless when I can get adequate service from this little DSLR. I've discovered that finicky manual focus is not that important to me.

For my purposes, a quiet, light DSLR body that uses my existing EF lenses is the sweet spot. I feel well equipped with this SL1 and my 7D for long lenses. Maybe an SL2 in the future for the 24MP, but otherwise my gear lust is pretty well satiated.
