Canon EOS Rebel SL3 250D Underwater Photos

Canon's SL-series cameras are some of our favorites for underwater shooting due to their compact size, ease of use, and outstanding image quality. We've already seen outstanding results from the previous EOS SL2 200D and EOS SL1 100D models.

Ambassador Chase Darnell took the newest Canon EOS Rebel SL3 250D (EOS 200D Mark II / Kiss X10 in other markets) camera out in Grand Cayman to fire off some first test shots and check out the improved image processor and autofocus performance. He found that the camera functions incredibly well, even in low-contrast situations like a spotted eagle ray swimming over a wall.

The SL3 is also a winner for its incredible battery life which outperforms most DSLR and mirrorless cameras on the market right now.
