Canon_EOS_Rebel_SL1Canon has launched the EOS Rebel SL1 digital SLR, the ‘world’s smallest and lightest DSLR’ camera (among digital SLR cameras which use APS-C size equivalent sensors).

The EOS Rebel SL1 features a 18.0-megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor and DIGIC 5 Image Processor. The new camera body is 4.6″ (w) x 3.57″ (h) x 2.74″ (d), and weighs 14.36 oz. In comparison, the EOS Rebel SL1 is approximately 25 percent smaller and 28 percent lighter than the EOS Rebel T4i digital camera.

The camera includes a nine-point center cross-type autofocus (AF) system. The AF system also includes a Hybrid CMOS AF II sensor, and features Canon’s Movie Servo AF, which provides continuous AF tracking of moving subjects.
