I have a Canon Rebel SL1 and I kind of wish I just bought a T3. I highly recommend you purchase a Canon Rebel T3, especially for the price. The SL1 and the T3 are somewhat identical, except the housing is smaller on the SL1. I bought the SL1 because I thought it was the latest rebel at the time, but come to find out the T5x or whatever was out.

Good luck and I hope you have success. I'll throw you some change when it comes around!
