Into Who said that to have a camera capable of combining quality and handling must jump on a mirrorless ? Canon want to dispel a common place: the one where the reflex are beautiful but challenging.

Into The proof is all in Eos 100D , the smallest DSLR in the world, or – if you prefer – the first SLR capable of competing with a compact camera with interchangeable lenses on its own ground: that the size . 116.8 x 90.7 x 69.4 mm for 407 grams of weight : on balance we are not very far from the dimensions of a Fujifilm X-Pro1 (139.5 x 81.8 x 42.5 mm for 450 grams of weight).

But on balance the new “reflexina” Canon can be a very appealing to those who, until yesterday, took photos with a mobile phone. For 699 € (body only) you can enter the world of photography with a capital F. And without great effort.
