Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: YI M1, which was introduced in September 2016 is a Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a 20.0MP Four Thirds sensor whereas Canon SL2, which was introduced in June 2017 is a Entry-Level DSLR camera with a 24.0MP APS-C sensor. There is only 9 months difference between M1 and SL2 so we are expecting this to be a fair comparison regarding age and technology level.
Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the YI M1 and Canon SL2 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the YI M1 and Canon SL2 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
