Canon 1100D vs Canon SL2

Let's look a bit more closely at the Canon 1100D versus Canon SL2, both Entry-Level DSLR digital cameras and they are both offered by Canon. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the 1100D (12MP) and SL2 (24MP) but both cameras have the same sensor measurements (APS-C).

The 1100D was launched 7 years prior to the SL2 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before we go right into a thorough comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the 1100D matches up vs the SL2 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 1100D and Canon EOS Rebel SL2. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon 1100D Gallery and Canon SL2 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to travel with your camera, you'll need to think about its weight and measurements.

Quite often, it can be hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The pic underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1100D and SL2.

As you can see, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon SL2 to give more detail utilizing its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged 1100D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
