Amazon Green Monday 2015 'Mystery Digital Camera' Deal: Canon EOS Rebel SL1?

   Today for Green Monday, Amazon has a bunch of deals on cameras, but none is more enticing than the 'Mystery Digital Camera' Deal. This deal saves you $101 on a $500 digital camera (20%), however, the catch is that Amazon doesn't actually reveal what camera it is, instead just showing a picture of a box.


Why I think it's the Canon SL1?

   The first reason that leads me to believe that the mystery camera is the Canon SL1 is the cryptic message Amazon wrote in the description:
We've got a secret deal today...can't say much now....will provide more hints later...however, customers loved when we ran a similar deal on this product earlier this year.
   Now they did something like this during the underwhelming event which was PrimeDay back in July, offering what turned out to be the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 for $413 (marked down from its MSRP of $500). 




   Besides that, a couple of key specs on the page seem to point conclusively to the Canon SL1. Amazon includes a review from DP Review which states (among other things) that the camera has an
APS-C sensor, a 3" fixed touchscreen, 1080/30p video recording, and weighs .9 pounds or less. All of these are true about the Rebel SL1. One reviewer also describes the camera as having "a small, lightweight form-factor".



   With all of this evidence pointing to the Canon SL1, I can't help but assume that that's what the deal is on. If any of you buys it, please let me know if I was right once you finally receive your new camera.
