The Rebel SL2 will ship as a body only or a kit with the EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens in either black or white color. I will work and nail down the exact date for you. Stay tuned.

Canon Rebel EOS SL2 Camera Coming In Q3 2017

I am back from my Galapagos and Ecuadorian Amazon Photo Tour. I did not encounter as many wildlife as I had hoped. Slowly getting back to my daily blog and photo processing. You can follow my travels on Facebook and Twitter. See my equipment bag and works on MichaelDanielHo.com

In February, I reported Canon is expected to announce the EOS Rebel SL2 some time this year. Indications are the date will be early Q3 of 2017. The new, small DSLRs will be a bit smaller and lighter than the current EOS Rebel SL1 and will have specifications similar to the recently announced EOS-77D. Perhaps like a 'baby' EOS-77D.

However, the exciting news for many photographers is the expected announcement of the affordable full frame EOS 6D Mark II some time in early Q3 of 2017.
