The Canon EOS Rebel SL3 is part of Canon’s entry-level SL series, designed, as the initials suggest, to be small and light—in fact, it’s the most portable DSLR Canon has ever produced. Other than that, though, it’s also just a great budget DSLR. With 4k video capability, fast burst shooting and a solid autofocus system, it’s a very well-rounded camera for the money.

Still, it doesn’t feel as well built as the Nikon D5600 and has fewer physical controls than the Canon EOS Rebel T8i. That’s not bad for beginners, but it can feel a bit limiting once you get the hang of the exposure settings. Otherwise, it has a lot in common with its Rebel sibling, including a similar sensor, a fully articulated touchscreen and an easy-to-use menu system. All in all, this is a great little camera that won’t break the bank and is light enough that you’ll want to take it with you everywhere.
