We have been tipped with a list of specifications for the upcoming Canon Rebel SL2.

The specification list seems pretty much to be the same as for the EOS 800D/Rebel T7i, announced a few months ago. It’s not unlikely that the Rebel SL2 and the Rebel T7i have same or similar specifications.

The Canon Rebel SL2 might have:

• 24MP sensor
• 3″ vari-angle and touchscreen display
• 1080p/60 fps
• Dual Pixel AF
• WiFi/NFC
• 45 points AF
• Digic 7
• ISO 51200
• HDR movie, time-lapse movie
• Will still be the world’s smallest DSLR

My take: the list above is plausible, the Rebel SL2 may indeed have specifications and features that are very similar if not the same as other entry-level Canon Rebel DSLRs.

We expect the Rebel SL2 to be announced on June 29, 2017, together with the Canon EOS 6D Mark II and a new entry-level mirrorless camera.

Stay tuned!

A new rumor surfaced on the web. The long overdue Canon Rebel SL2 is now murmured to be announced in July 2017 (when other, unsubstantiated rumors suggest the EOS 6D Mark II may be announced).

Shipping is said to start in September 2017. A shipment two months after the announcement is unusual for an entry level Canon DLSR.

There is a lot of confusion going on with the next Canon announcements. Since when Canon started to be very secretive about their upcoming products rumors go wild.

Usually we get some intel about upcoming products (here and on other sites). Nothing leaked so far, neither about the EOS 6D Mark II nor for the Rebel SL2.

Specification wise we can expect the Rebel SL2 will have a feature set somewhere between the Canon Rebel T7i and the EOS 77D.

Take this with a grain of salt. Rumor sites are in distress since Canon started to keep their stuff private.

We keep you posted, stay tuned.

Another Canon camera that is long overdue is the replacement for the Rebel SL1.

A new rumor suggests the Rebel SL2 will be announced in September. The Rebel SL2 may be smaller and lighter than the Rebel SL1, which still is the world’s smallest DSLR.

Specification wise we can expect a feature set between the Canon Rebel T7i and the EOS 77D.

Stay tuned.
