I miss the 720p2[45] encoding, as well as the ability to choose between different compression-rates. (Which I have on my 6D)<\/li>\n<li>The Camera actually focuses whilst filming.<br \/>\nThey call it &#8216;Hybrid CMOS AFII&#8217;. I&#8217;ve missed this on every other DLSR I&#8217;ve been filming with. It wont help you with fast moving things, tough, since it&#8217;s contrast-based focusing (=slow). For static things it seemed to work pretty well.<\/li>\n<li>It has only one page of C-functions<br \/>\nWhich means it misses some of the options I like to have, namely how to behave when the AF-System fails.<\/li>\n<li>The built in flash seems to be a &#8216;Single power&#8217;-thing<br \/>\nNo surprise here, but worth mentioning. Means you&#8217;ll still need a EX Flash for distant and very close things.<\/li>\n<li>The viewfinder is small.<br \/>\nThis is of course in the specs. Still I was surprised. (I&#8217;m just used to the Large viewfinders of the single-digit series.)<\/li>\n<li>Its extremely lightweight.<br \/>\nHolding a 300mm-6D-EX600 rig in the other hand, the 100D with the kit EF-S seemed like a ball of wool. On it&#8217;s own it felt like 200g or so. (Specs say 400g for the body. Either way, relatively weightless)<br \/>\n(This can be great, but it also means lots of plastic parts..)<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s small.<br \/>\nLike the similarly priced Nikons (say a D3000) the grip is really small. (It just about fits my middle and ring finger)<br \/>\nIf you have small hands that&#8217;s great, if not it can be quite a annoyance..<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Besides that, the camera took great pictures. If you like touch screens; the one in the 100D seems to work quite well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just had the opportunity to play &#8217;round with a Canon EOS 100D.
