Buy It If:
✅ You prefer the traditional handling of a DSLR, paired with a well-built, portable body. ✅ You appreciate the wide range of lens options available with Canon’s EF mount.
Don’t Buy It If:
❌ You prioritize top-notch autofocus capabilities, as the 9-point AF system may feel outdated compared to newer models.
❌ You shoot extensive video in 4K, as the EOS 250D’s video performance is affected by cropping and rolling shutter issues.
The Canon EOS Rebel SL3 is not Canon’s most budget-friendly DSLR, but it strikes a balance between features, performance, and value. It stands out as the smallest and lightest DSLR with an articulating screen, making it less intimidating than larger models. With upgrades like a new processing engine and 4K video recording over its predecessor, the Rebel SL2 (EOS 200D), it offers versatility for both photography and videography needs.
We were particularly impressed by its responsive touchscreen, quick start-up time, and the reliable Dual Pixel CMOS AF system. While its 5fps burst shooting rate may not match up to the latest mirrorless cameras for fast-action photography, the EOS Rebel SL3 / 250D remains a solid choice for beginners and enthusiasts alike. Compared to Canon’s entry-level DSLRs like the EOS Rebel T100 (also known as the EOS 4000D / EOS 3000D), the EOS Rebel SL3 / 250D offers more advanced features and better overall performance.
