Although all eyes are on Canon 6D Mark II, there is another announcement from this company. They have released Canon EOS Rebel SL2, an entry-level DSLR intended mainly for the first-time DSLR users. Whether you’re just switching from a smartphone or point-and-shoot camera, or starting photography from the very beginning – Canon has intended this model for you. It’s a new and improved version of its predecessor EOS Rebel SL1, so let’s see what’s changed and what it’s offering.

As Canon points put, they took into consideration feedback from entry-level photographers who wanted to learn to use the camera beyond the program mode. As a result, Canon EOS Rebel SL2 has a new user interface called Feature Assistant. It should assist the users in learning how tweaking the settings will affect their image. The EOS Rebel SL2 has several other improvements over its predecessor, the EOS Rebel SL1, and here they are:
