On this page, we will be evaluating the Canon 100D and Canon SL3, both Entry-Level DSLR digital cameras and both of them are manufactured by Canon. There exists a huge gap between the resolutions of the 100D (18MP) and SL3 (24MP) but both cameras provide the same sensor sizing (APS-C).

The 100D was introduced 6 years before the SL3 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before delving into a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief summary of how the 100D scores versus the SL3 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 100D and Canon EOS Rebel SL3. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 100D Gallery and Canon SL3 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to travel with your camera often, you should take into account its weight and volume. The Canon 100D offers physical dimensions of 117mm x 91mm x 69mm (4.6" x 3.6" x 2.7") along with a weight of 407 grams (0.90 lbs) whilst the Canon SL3 has sizing of 122mm x 93mm x 70mm (4.8" x 3.7" x 2.8") with a weight of 449 grams (0.99 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you use during that time. Underneath is a front view dimension comparison of the 100D against the SL3.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 100D and SL3 is 73 and 71 respectively.

Typically, it's difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions just by going over specifications. The pic below may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 100D and SL3.

Plainly, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Canon SL3 to offer extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged 100D is going to be behind in sensor tech.
