Back in 2013 when I reviewed the Canon SL1, I remember how controversial my review was. I used a woman in the product images — but the reason why I did so was because the product was literally targeted to women. That’s what we were told in the meeting with Canon. This camera was the first of a bunch of really small Rebel cameras designed to be carried around with you everywhere. It was from an era where Canon did everything they possibly could to not make mirrorless cameras. There were times when the reps sounded delusional to me when they said that mirrorless was just a fad. But believe it or not, this camera still persists.
