Sure it is all plastic and won't take a good drop as a magnesium body would or withstand the rain, but for the price tag I think it is understandable. Some of the most noticeable features are the Wifi capabil ity, the autofocus points, the ISO dedicated button and the quality of the images and video. Compared to the SL1 I'll have to say it is indeed a bit bigger but that's actually a good thing, because the grip is far better on the T6i and all the additional features are a big plus. If you can only have one, the T6i won't dissapoint you either. Don't get me wrong, the 60D for me still is a better camera for professional heavy duty work, but the T6i is fabulous for long trips and pleasure photography. I've had the T6i for a few weeks now and I think I really made a great choice. However, I did fell the leap between the two of them, causing me to begin the search for a new one that could fit in the gap.

As I have back issues I couldn't carry the 60D on long trips, so I took the SL1. I used to have a Canon 60D and a SL1 as backup. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-ownedĮxcellent size and performance for the price Oh and it also has wi-fi and GPS if you need either. We'll also be using it for flying on our crane jib and glide cam. It'll get a lot more use than our 5D, particularly on our basic projects, quick shoots and interviews, and remote projects in the field. Highly recommended, especially at its price point. BTW the built in mic actually does a great job, much to our surprise. The only complaint might be that you can't control or monitor the sound input but we record sound separately anyway. High quality pics, super easy to use, and less than a third the price of a 5D Mark IV should we choose to upgrade. From the flip out screen to focus face recognition follow tracking to using SD cards rather than compact flash, this has quickly taken the lead for us when shooting video, which is why we have these cameras to begin with. We bought it to supplement our Canon 5D Mark II and in most ways it smokes it. We got way more than we bargained for with this camera.
