Just another case of a nerfed or crippled camera made to protect 5D IV and 1DX II sales. There is no reason, in 2017, the SL can't have the same features as a 1 series camera for the price of an SL. ::)

LOL! Canon is doomed, for sure this time.

The color theme is similar as with PowerShot G9 X. I think they are trying to push actively more colors than just black. Up to 2006-7 or so such colors were common. All PowerShot A series cameras were silver. Also DSLR bodies had different colors.

IMHO what is missing is an "Hello Kitty" edition, and a gold plated one, with diamond buttons.

You know, I would have to seriously consider a "Hello Kitty" version...

I would like to take that version -- sometimes it is good that your equipment is underestimated by others :) While it is capable of great IQ ...

When your selling antiquated technology you need to add gimmicks like trendy colors. :'( Canon used to lead the digital photography field now they are really falling behind Nikon and Sony

Falling being only in the mind of idiots.

The SL2 is not cute. Any dSLR made in 2017 that does not have AF micro-adjust is poison because of competition with mirrorless. Enjoy just missing focus unless stopped way down.

Cheers!

This model might just be at the top of the tier of where users don't know about, care about or would even attempt adjustments like that. I know, we are in a microcosm here on CR and many assumptions are made but really. No one is using that feature in the real world outside photo dorks like us.

Because of competition with mirrorless SL2 supports Auto focusing using Live View. So it has no disadvantage compared with them...

Exactly. Even some folks who know about AFMA don't find it necessary. My lenses have always been sharp enough to sell photos. Super sharp can be a negative (Yes, I understand that CR folks won't understand that!)

That is a good point, but a major selling point of dSLR's is the optical viewfinder.

I agree. Of course it would be better with AFMA, can't argue with that.
P.S By the way the black sl2 is cute. My comments of SL2 not being cute referred to the other colors :)
