24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 7 processor
100-25,600 normal ISO range
Nine-point phase-detection autofocus system
Full HD video capture at 60 fps

The Canon SL2 is an extremely compact and lightweight entry-level DSLR at an attractive price. It’s the predecessor to the SL3. Key features include:

What’s New? The Canon SL2 offers several marked improvements over its predecessor, the SL1. Among these are a more powerful APS-C crop-frame CMOS sensor and image processor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF and Movie Servo AF, a broader ISO range, a vari-angle touchscreen rear LCD, and Full HD video capture at 60 fps.

24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 7 Image Processor. The SL2 is based around a newly designed 24.2 MP APS-C CMOS sensor that works in conjunction with a DIGIC 7 image processor to produce sharp, bright images and video. Its normal ISO range of 100-26,600 is expandable to 100-51,200, ensuring solid low-light performance.

Nine-Point Autofocus System. The SL2’s nine-point phase-detection autofocus system features a cross-type center point for enhanced speed and precision, even in difficult lighting.

Dual Pixel CMOS and Movie Servo Autofocus. When using Live View and capturing video, you can now use Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus to more quickly and accurately acquire focus. When shooting video, Movie Servo autofocus lets you specify tracking sensitivity, focus speed, and face-tracking priority. It also offers smoother rack focusing and focus adjustment via the touchscreen.

Full HD Video Capture. This camera supports Full HD capture at up to 60 fps in MP4 format. On the audio side, you get a built-in microphone and a 3.5mm input so that you can use external mics.

High-Quality Design. The SL2 boasts a solid build in an extremely compact package. The 3.0-inch 1.04m-dot vari-angle LCD offers high-resolution image playback and Live View performance, and an intuitive touchscreen interface. Its optical viewfinder provides 95% frame coverage and 0.87x magnification for traditional shooting.

Additional Specs and Features. The SL2 has a single SD card slot, Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity for sending images and controlling camera functions wirelessly via compatible smartphones, and Bluetooth compatibility. It uses the same LP-E17 battery as many other Canon DSLRs, and records to SD/SDHC/XC memory cards.
