The autofocus system uses two photodiodes providing a network of phase-detection elements across the sensor to minimize focus hunting. The Canon S元's sensor's design includes Dual Pixel AF with nine-point phase-detection autofocus including a cross-type center point. The processor enables up to five fps continuous shooting as well as UHD 4K video and 4K time-lapse movie mode. That sensor, along with a DIGIC 8 image processor, gives the Canon S元 an ISO sensitivity range from 100-25,600 with extended settings to 51,200. The S元’s smaller sensor produces 1.6x magnification. The Nikon D3500 that I recently reviewed for Shutterbug has an APS-C sensor measuring 23.5 x 15.6mm producing a magnification ratio of 1.5x. The Canon S元 (called the Canon EOS 250D internationally) uses a 24.1MP (22.3 x 14.9mm) APS-C-format sensor. The Canon EOS Rebel S元 sent for testing was done up in basic black, but it’s also available in a grey-trimmed white bodied version at the same price. And while the Canon Rebel SL series has grown slightly since being introduced in 2013, these changes were part of a strategy of adding capabilities that were missing in entry-level competitors from other manufacturers. The Canon EOS Rebel S元 ( $649 with the 18-55mm kit lens) is the latest in a series of compact Canon DSLRs that seem designed to compete with the size of mirrorless cameras.
