Canon Rebel SL2/EOS 200D specifications suggestion (24MP, tiltable screen, smaller than SL1) [CW3]

Rebel SL2

We have a list of possible specs for the upcoming Canon Rebel SL2 (EOS 200D in EU, most likely). As usual take everything with a grain of salt.

  • 24megapixels, same sensor as 750D
  • up-tiltable LCD, it doesn’t tilt down
  • Even smaller than SL1
  • Wireless battery charging, old charger still supplied and works as before
  • Autofocus system the same
  • More colors available
  • Lower price than the introduction price of SL1
  • New battery type

Moreover, the source said that the Rebel SL2 “has a feature to show the current focal length of a zoom lens on the LCD (works for nonzooms too) as long as it’s an EF-S or EF lens that can report this data electronically“. It’s interesting to note that the Rebel SL2 coukd be smaller even than the SL1 (world’s smallest DSLR).

I was expecting the Rebel Sl2/EOS 200D for the end of August but nope. I am pretty sure Canon will announce it in time for the X-Mas business.

If you want let, me know what you think.
