Smaller more portable body than many competing CSCs; compatible with a wide range of accessories; combination of sensor and Canon's optical excellence delivers sharp images
Have to buy and use adapter for access to wider range of Canon EF lenses; so-so battery performance; lacks a decent handgrip for a steady hold with longer optics; no on-board Wi-Fi; no optical or electronic viewfinder built-in, $949 (body); $1049 (18-55mm
Very easy to use for beginner photographers. Offers similar image quality to the EOS 650D. Excellent HD video quality, and sound from the internal mic is good. Lightweight, portable and takes regular Canon EF lenses with an adapter
Can't start video recording in any other dial mode apart from movie. No option for an electronic viewfinder. No pop-up flash, though one is included in the box. Slow autofocus, resulting in very long shutter lag times
