Can I use a DSLR (Canon SL1)? Thanks!

As long as the camera has a standard tripod mounding screw it will work. However, I find the suction feature can be easily dislodged without releasing the suction lever. I would be concerned with how heavy a camera you attach. The one I use is a small palm size camera and very light weight. If the SLR is heavy with a long lens I'd be concerned that the weight of the lens might dislodge the suction cup. Otherwise, it works well for small cameras.

No. A DSLR has interchangeable lens. But if you are looking for the best camera you will ever get for your money, then buy the X-S1. I have owned several SLR's (now called a "D"SLR because of "Digital") in my 40+ years in the art of photography, and this is my camera of choice. I would not own another "D"SLR. If you want to get into DSLR's fine. They are quite pricey and unless you are going to play "Keep up with the Jones", buying lens after lens, then be my guest. Truly, this is a remarkable camera, and has more bells and whistles than any novice will ever understand, or use. The camera is for the serious armature or a professional. I recommend it with a 5 star intro. with no reservation at all. Thanks, Boone No. A DSLR has interchangeable lens.

Donie, No one responded because this forum is for the G2, which is a somewhat specialized model. If you look on the camera and lenses you have for the brand name, like Pentax, Canon, Nikon, Minolta, etc., then post your question on the "digital slr" forum, you will get the responses that are relevant. Responses on this forum won't do you much good. Good Luck.

I would think so.This is a point and shoot not a dslr.You can`t change lenses. That said it has a 30x zoom which is great. This would be a great camera to start out with. It is easy to use and has many scene settings to choose from.I love it. good luck.

Yes. I suspect the Will-this-fit section has not been updated since the SL1 was released. The SL1 can use any Canon EF and EF-S mount lens.

I believe this lens will fit the SL1. If so, it is a GREAT LENS!!! We have 2 of them and use them extensively for weddings, portraits, etc. SUPER SHARP!!!

I own a Canon T3i and this adapter fits perfectly. I think the SL1 and the T3i have the same mount so this adapter should also fit on your DSLR.

I don't know. The only Canon digital camera that I have used is the Rebel SL1. I am really impressed with it.

It is my understanding that all the Canon lenses for the DSLR cameras are interchangeable. I would contact Canon to make sure.

I have the Sl1 and yes it works with it. Great lens too. Very versatile. I keep it in the camera 95% of the time.

It worked with a Canon 60D and SL1, but DON'T use big lenses. Broke a Sigma 24-70 f2.8 in half trying to get it out. If it's tight, DON'T use it. It's a little hard to change settings and sometimes hard to find the shutter release, zoom is tricky. If all you are doing is point and shoot, OK.

Yes, it will definitely work with with the SL1. It's pretty good for portraits and & flowers. It's just okay at a macro lens. You might want to consider the 50mm. That's a great lens too.

Canon's website says that the SL1 uses "Canon EF lenses (including EF-S lenses)", and Fotodiox's website says the adapter fits "Compatible Cameras (not limited to the list, as long as the body takes a Canon EF lens)". So, it should work. I used it with a 5D Mark II. The only Contax / Yashica lens that didn't work with it was my Zeiss 28mm f2.8 Distagon. The rear element is too close to the mirror, so that the mirror hits the rear of the lens when it flips up. That may or may not be a problem with the smaller mirror in the SL1, and it's certainly not a problem with all C/Y lenses. Most work just fine.

Yes, your words are elegant. All I did was point to a fine review where you can compare the inferior images from the Rebel to SX1. If you want the real benefits of an SLR with video then go to a fine machine like Nikon D90. http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_PowerShot_SX1_IS/

Yes but you will need an adaptor which you can get at Radio Shack. This also depends on the quality of sound you desire. I have know people to run sound many ways so the camera is the easiest but least optimal in terms of quality. Canon vDSLRs don

Actually, my camera is canon 5d mark 1, it works great, TTL works beautifully. Cheaper than others, simple flash, no whistle and bell if that is you looking for.

I would say yes. I love this lens and it is more versatile than the 18-55 mm lens. I use it a lot for wide angle shots and it also has more zoom to it if you need it. I don't know about the SL1, I have a T3i and T1i and I like the Rebels for the lighter weight. Not disappointed with the pictures I get from it.
