In my first Canon SL2 Field Test, I looked primarily at the camera's body and handling, image quality, autofocus, and its performance. In the new second Field Test, the focus turns toward shooting modes, wireless functionality, and video features.

The SL2's video quality is not bad, but its features set is a bit of a letdown. With that said, being able to record Full HD video at 60 frames per second in an entry-level DSLR is quite good. Similarly, the wireless functionality in the SL2 proved to be nice, and the overall usability of the camera remained a strength throughout my time with the camera.
