When average users think “DSLR” Canon Rebel is the first thing that pops into their head. I bet that the new Rebel cameras will have higher total sales than the new Olympus E-M5 MKII and the Samsung NX500 combined.
I am positive that these cameras can take excellent still images and probably half decent 1080p @ 30 FPS video. However, I can’t help but smile when I see how gigantic these cameras are even with their “kit” lenses. I will gladly go on using my Panasonic LX100 and GH4 + 35-100mm F2.8 + 25mm F1.4 + 14mm F2.5 lens all in a nice little bag.
While everyone else lugs around these “Rebel” cameras. They aren’t for me because I need something much smaller with much better video. However, I am sure the majority of people out there would be happy with the images and videos these cameras take as long as they don’t decide it is just much more convenient to leave the DSLR at home and use their phone.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
