About this model
The Canon EOS 100D (also known as the Rebel SL1) is one of the smallest and lightest DSLRs Canon has made, yet it uses a full-size 18-megapixel APS-C sensor for image quality far beyond a phone or compact camera. The 3-inch touchscreen makes settings and playback easy, and the camera records Full HD video with continuous autofocus. This kit includes the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens – a versatile standard zoom with image stabilisation and a stepper motor for smooth, quiet focusing in photos and video. Ideal if you want DSLR quality and lens choice in a body that's easy to carry.
