Just posted: Our Canon EOS 100D (Rebel SL1) preview samples gallery. We’ve been lucky enough to get our hands on a pre-production sample of Canon’s latest miniaturised SLR, and have assembled a quick samples gallery to give an idea of how it performs. We’ve shot using the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM and EF 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lenses, and aimed to cover a variety of subjects and lighting conditions. The pre-production camera used offers ‘Beta’ standard image quality, so may not fully reflect the final image quality (although it’s unlikely to be radically different).

You know… at first I was all gung ho about buying one but I enjoy some videography and I’m reticent to give up the rotating screen in my T4i. I’m not sure the miniaturization would be worth the upgrade… I’m starting to wonder how bizarre some of my lenses would look on this tiny thing.

So is Canon going to leave us dangling with just a single pancake lens in the lineup (and 40mm isn’t a great length for APS-C)?

I guess you’re expected to slap one of Canon’s traditional big-ass kit zooms on this thing.

Something like a 20 or 24mm f2.8 pancake might even persuade me to trade in my micro 4/3rds for an SL1.

It should take the same pics as the T2i et al, right? Same sensor?
