I've been wanting to get something a step above my Canon G1 10 for the last few years.
First I thought the Canon G1 X might be the answer, but reviews nixed it's autofocus.
Then it was the EOS M ..but same shortcoming in the AF.
The latest Canon contender is the SL1.
This was a hard choice but I went with the Nikon D5200.
My computer won't read the CD supplied with the camera so I have an email in to their support group.
