No Back Button Focus
I was so disappointed to discover that there is no back button focus on the T8i. If I had known, I would never have purchased this camera. It never crossed my mind that this feature would be deleted.

All around great camera
I bought this camera right after Christmas because it was on sale for my sister. I’ve used it a few times since then and have really enjoyed the camera. I think it would be a good camera for someone who is newer to DLSR photography. The battery life and the image quality are great. I like that the camera is a little more light weight than some of my others.

Easy to learn.
I’ve taken about 500 pictures in my first week of owning the camera and have been really happy with the quality for price paid.

Great camera
I bought this camera when it first came out. I used it very rarely. My friend borrowed it for one year. Then, 3 weeks ago my daughter and I went to Bali, Indonesia and I brought this camera. Whoa! I didn't know how good this camera is. It's just perfect the camera: the size, the quality of pictures and number of shooting options available.
Just now, I upgraded it's firmware to 1.0.1 and I am eager to get out a shoot some more...
I strongly recommend this camera.

Best I've ever owned
My girlfriend surprised me at Christmas and gifted me this camera. She knew I was too frugal to buy one on my own. I guess she got tired of hearing me gripe about the mediocre pics I was taking with my phone and old Olympus digital.
The Canon Rebel is a terrific camera. I was also suprised with a separate Canon 75-300 mm telephone lens which I use frequently, and often use it for fairly close-up shots. The camera features a seemingly infinite number of settings and options. I've committed seven or eight settings to memory, from frequent use. Admittedly, for many of the advanced settings and for rare configuration needs, I have to consult the manual.
The photos are easy to download from the camera. I'm constantly being complimented for pics that I post. I can't wait until the leaves are out on the trees where I live so that I can start taking shots without the background being dominated by grays, whites and blacks!

Great for photo enthusiast as well as experts
I brought this camera 2 years ago and fall more in love with it each day. It is easy to shoot with, small enough to carry In all shooting settings, and has a huge selection of lens that can be used to shoot.

Excellent Camera
I have always loved Canon, I owned a Powershot A620 when it was released in 2005, but soon failed on me in 2013. Then I recently upgraded my camera in 2015 w/ EOS Rebel SL1 & the quality is still high grade just like my older canon. The freatures & settings it has delivers AMAZING professional photo quality without even photo shopping it. It captures the beauty of nature in Hawaii so perfectly. :) love this camera. Highly recommend buying this if this will be your first professional camera. Big Tip, read the instruction manual on each of the setting so you can capture great pictures. :)

Perfect Camera
I am an amateur photographer and have been taking photos as long as I can remember. I bought this camera back in 2013 around the time when it just came out. I can not say enough how wonderful this camera is and how much it has exceeded my expectations. It works in every way that I've wanted it to from slowing down the shutter speed to take lighting pictures to taking clear quality photos at sporting events. It still continues to amaze me how wonderful the pictures turn out. With having smaller hands, being lightweight and smaller in size compared to other DSLR's is perfect and it doesn't make me feel that I don't have complete control of the camera. Perfect in every way and it will not disappoint!

Nice camera
I purchased this in Dec of 2015 and I didn't know it at the time but it was defective. Whenever I would hold my finger down to take many pictures at a time it would start out taking them fast and then get slower and slower and then to the point I would have to stop taking the pictures. I'm sending it in for repair and hope that will help. This is a nice camera but I don't know if I will ever master it. I have been taking pictures for over 40 years with all types of point and shoot cameras but this camera I can take pictures, with the same setting, and one will turn out good and the other one is terrible. I don't know what the problem is. I have researched the settings for different types of pictures and I still can't master it. I would recommend this camera to someone that wants to spend ALL their time trying to master it.

Great little camera
Very compact, easy to carry around everywhere I go, fits easily in my bag. Good image quality, and also compatible with old ef lenses without issue. And its light weight makes hours of shooting way less straining.

May be a good one for starter
just got my first DSLR. I have been using different DSLR from different friends before. the camera is really handy and small. pic quality depends more on lens rather then the camera itself. The viewfinder is too small to be comfortable.
For new user, who basically want to do good family photography its an excellent choice in your budget.

Excellent Buy
This camera was given to me as a Christmas gift after using a Sony for part time, on the side fun. But holy cow did this little beauty ignite a world of opportunity. I am very young and this was the perfect beginners camera for anybody wishing to pursue photography in any shape or form.
It's incredibly lightweight and small, and by looking at it based on that premise, no way could anybody imagine what this camera is capable of. It takes excellent images in automatic function, but even better in manual (of course if you're aware of how to use manual). Images come out crisp, colorful, and beautiful. I can't stress enough how user friendly it is, but while still maintaining close to professional grade images.
The SL1 has jumpstarted business for me and I will be shooting my first wedding next month using this camera. Canon has definitely snagged themselves a new lifetime customer.

The best investment ever.
I simply love this camera. It is light, powerful, and just amazing. I love going out to take photos with it. It is very easy to use and carry. Also, shooting videos to upload on the web, are very nicely captured by this camera. So far I have had no issues by using various lenses on the camera. I love my camera.

Love This Little DSLR
I bought this beauty in July 2012 and played around with it for a bit, shooting simple shots outside of our home, not adjusting any settings, I read the manual but I just like to keep it simple. I was moving from my Canon point and shoot (which I still love) to something a little more robust. Just recently I really started taking off buying more lenses (4 new ones) and an extra battery, this is a big deal for me. I absolutely love this camera and all of the great Canon lenses I have purchased. The camera is super light and the photos you can take with this just on AUTO, they look amazing, trust me. It is THE next camera you need from a point and shoot.

What a dream to sue
I purchased this camera to replace my aging Rebel (as in the first) and have been very pleased with every thing about it. The weight and fit is great, I am able to balance all three of my lenses 18-55, 55-250, 70-300 without issue. Learning to use the camera has been fun, exposing the use of the large display screen. I take this camera with me everywhere.

first dslr, satisfied
i was sweating over whether to get this or the t5i. i borrowed a friend's t5i for a couple of weeks and sure, the articulating screen seems to provide better protection for the lcd screen yet other than that, i personally didn't find it to be that big of a deal and i don't plan on taking selfies anytime soon. i figured i would go with the sl1 and i'm glad i did; great entry-level dslr and i can take it anywhere without making it look too obvious. i recommend this to anyone else looking to start using dslr cameras.

Love my Little SLR
I've owned a variety of Canon cameras, both point and shoot and SLR Rebels. When the SL1 came out, I bought it right away for the small size and put away my Canon 60D. I haven't gone back. I love the small size of the camera body and have now purchased all the STM lenses also. I primarily use the white EF L 70-200 lens or the EFS 17-55 lens. I also like the new 24 mm pancake lens. My only complaint is that there hasn't been a second edition of this camera nor a firmware update.

Have To Like It Even When I Don't Want To
I bought this camera (in WHITE) and am having a blast with it. Using an M42 adapter for lenses that stretch this camera, I am happy with results. They aren't amazing, but they are more than adequate. It's a fun, attractive camera that has tons of versatility. I never thought I would own a Canon Rebel but the price was excellent and it came with two lenses. I picked up the 40mm pancake also but haven't had time to explore it much. Nice camera!

Buy this camera!
Purchased this camera to replace a ten year old Rebel XT. The old DSLR menus drove me crazy and I had stopped shooting over the last few years. The SL1 is defintitely the bee's knees! I'm 6 ft tall with medium sized hands and this camera fits comfortably into my grip. The kit lens is superb for a zoom and only bettered, IMO, by my Canon 50mm prime lens - and not by much at that! I fully agree with the reviews which state the SL1 is capable of image quality equal to (m)any Canon consumer level DSLR.
I'm simply knocked out by the shots this camera/lens combo can provide for such a low price. Once you've gone over the owner's manual, there's nothing I can imagine seriously needing that isn't here in the functionality of the SL1.
I see no reason to move up in price to the T5i unless you really, really either find the SL1 too compact for large hands or you just feel you absolutely need a bigger DSLR to look more like a real photographer. The SL1 will do everything that's important to taking a good photograph that the T5i will do, IMO, with one exception. I also have a Canon SX50 superzoom which simply beats the socks off the competition when it comes to close up/macro work. The articulating LCD on the SX50 makes getting close ups of close to the ground or above my head shots quite a simple matter. The LCD of the SL1 is fixed, which means I have to get down farther or go up higher to take some shots. Still, for the price difference between the SL1 and the T5i, I wouldn't have paid the extra just for the articulated screen. I've cleared out a lot of lenses and accessories from my DSLR's bag and can now carry the SL1 AND the SX50 in one kit and not have any shot missed.
I learned photography on a Canon way back in the 1970's and have stayed with Canon ever since. I prefer an optical viewfinder over the lower rez EVF's and the SL1's is superb! So tit for tat, the SL1 still beats out my other choices. The SL1 works perfectly with my older Canon lenses and, if you aren't getting an EF lens to perform well on the SL1, I'd say you've misread the instructions or your lens has gone kaflooey. The APS-C sensor and DIGIC 5 processor work wonderfully well together. You'd really have to have a very specific reason to not like this combination IMO. I'm not much on constantly swapping for the latest technology and I expect the SL1 will be with me for many, many creative years of shooting. This is, IMO, THE value leader in consumer level DSLR's and even if something new comes along, I'll probably be too old at that point to actually notice an incrementatl improvement in image quality.
GET THIS CAMERA and stop sweating over what to buy. Go out and start shooting, the SL1 will not disappoint.

Live view mode
This is my first DSLR and it is somewhat more difficult to figure out all the camera can, and can't do. I was not accustom to using the view finder. I like the live view mode better; but was disappointed that all the options are not available using this shooting mode. Canon also warns of the camera over heating and going into auto shutoff if using live view shooting mode for extended shooting. Then you have to wait for the camera to cool down before resuming shooting in live view mode. This is the only negative that I have found thus far.

The perfect DSLR?
Moving up from a Canon point-and-shoot camera, I looked at a number of DSLR's before choosing the SL-1. I am really pleased that it takes great pictures even in poor conditions.
Also important is that it's small and light.
The two other things that I think are important is that you can treat it like a point-and-shoot if you want. Take off the lens cap, flip the switch to turn it on (it's the switch labeled On and Off), hit the camera button to turn on the LED screen, and push the button to take the picture.
The other thing is that are no buttons or whatever on the side of the camera where you would normally hold it.

The Clear Choice!
The Rebel SL1 is an exceptional APS-C camera. I purchased the body only version and use it with upgrade EF and EF-S lenses. It does exactly what you need it to do without all the unnecessary bells and whistles commonly found are more expensive models. My only recommendation on this camera is to always have an extra battery on hand. The wonderfully small size comes at a price. I'm not going to get in to many specifics in this review. Most of my comments are personal opinion although I must brag about one particular feature. Rebel models have a dedicated AV (+/-) exposure bias button easily accessible on the back of the camera. I can't imagine not having that button on the back. I don't understand for the life of me why supposed "advanced" camera models omit this feature. Being able to quickly and easily manually bracket exposure is so important. Getting it right in the field is always the best way to go. The supposed "advanced" models require two additional steps while fumbling through the internal menus to adjust exposure bias. Upgrade Rebel cameras are well designed and beautifully user friendly for advanced shooters. I am so tired of reading negative comments from online technical reviewers referring to Rebel cameras as entry level. Are you people serious?! There is no such thing as an entry level DSLR. They are all capable of capturing amazing photos in the hands of experienced users. For me when it comes to APS-C Canon camera models, upgrade Rebels are the clear choice. The more I learn about advanced photography, the more I believe this. Much of what is fed to us online is hype. Use your Rebel with pride! They rock!!
