Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this camera have any gamma profiles, such as S-Log?

A: No, S-Log is a Sony Profile. The Canon SL2 offers some custom profile in which you can reduce saturation when recording video. Thats what I do when I use it along side my Sony. It color grades nicely.

Q: 2. Does this come with a battery pack and charger or do I need to buy this separately?

A: Comes With Standard 1 canon Battery and charger.

Q: 3. Which holster bag comes with this bundle?

A: oi tudo bom, quero sabe se voces enviam para cabo Verde?????

Q: 4. What is the difference btw this SL2 model and T6i model ?

A: The Canon T6i and Sl2 are Canon’s entry level DSLR’s. Since they are for the same market, they are very, very similar. The T6i is older, has more focus points, has wider flash coverage and is cheaper. The SL2 has a higher ISO, longer battery life, is lighter, has time lapse, has better color depth, dynamic range and has Bluetooth. Physically, the SL2 is much smaller. And with the rage to go smaller with mirrorless, the SL2 is right in there being so small. Of the two, if the small size works for you, I suggest the SL2.

Q: 5. Can the camera be hooked up to a field monitor for LIVE viewing? Not just for reviewing media

A: It has HDMI out so you can add a small field monitor, however like the 80D you would get what the LCD backscreen would show with the menu icons and video.

Q: 6. Does this product contain international warranty?

A: No USA Only

Q: 7. Will sl2 work okay with 70-200mm f4 is canon l lens?

A: It seems to work well and balance well altho the lens weighs 10 ounces more than the camera. I just bought a 18-200mm Canon lens so that I have a wide focal length range instead of carrying around the 12-24mm and/or the 28-135mm and/or the 70-200mm lens.

Q: 8. However, I was discouraged to find out that the 75-300 MM lens is for film cameras not digital cameras. TRUE OR NOT?

A: This is digital

Q: 9. does this camera have the image stabilization feature?

A: This model has No in-camera stabilization

Q: 10. I am interested in the SL2 but read somewhere that there is no way to mount it to a tripod which is important to me. Is this true?

A: That is not true. It has a standard Quarter-Twenty thread like all cameras have for connecting to a tripod (among other things).
