I’ve literally just given my mint boxed unused SL2 away, thar along with the 24stm, 18-55stm (last version) old EF 70-300is plus speedlite and off camera cord etc etc (all unused duplicates)
I tried so hard to gel with this camera, but couldn’t - the recipient is absolutely over the moon with it all.
Funny thing is I have no problem at all using the older SL1 and indeed the really old 400D (same size literally) I can work both easily but the SL2… I struggled constantly. The one I just gave away was actually my second SL2, I sold the first one for the same reason, then stupidly bought another 🤣👍🏻
I knew several pretty serious photographers (the kind of folks who shoot film MF and LF) who used the SL models for travel and managed to do OK with it. Back in the day, its small and light design was attractive for certain uses.
Today, though, there are way better options for small and light camera systems.
