This is how compact a DSLR kit can be

Wanted to share this picture cause it gave me a bit of a chuckle. This is the SL1 + 24mm STM and the 50mm 1.8 ii stuck into a small Case Logic camcorder bag. I've had this bag for a while and use it to carry around my mirrorless cameras, but never though to try it out with the SL1. I like this lens combo because it mimics the popular 35mm/85mm split. I apologize for not providing more scale, but believe me, this is a small bag.

Mirrorless definitely has other advantages besides size. But if you prefer a DSLR and want to trim down your kit, the SL1 does amaze me at times with how small it is. Also, both these lenses combined costs less than $300 new retail. That's kind of hard to find in the mirrorless realm.
