Must-Have Accessories | Canon SL3 / 250D

  • January 14, 2020
  • AGriffin

A list of some of all the best and most essential accessories for the Canon SL3, or the EOS 250D.

 

Must-Have Accessories | The Essentials

 

Best Screen Protectors Canon SL3 / 250D

Canon usually uses some nice screens on their cameras and they are one of the few brands where you don’t necessarily need a screen protector. But if you’re worried about scratching or dinging your screen, this is a great thing to have. I actually use one on my EOS R.

Expert Shield Cannon SL3 Screen Protector

Available At: Amazon

Expert Shield still makes the best screen protector in my opinion. Not just because their screens are good, but because they offer a lifetime warranty and honor it. I’ve used it and some of my friends have used it and they have a very hassle-free replacement program.

 

Best Batteries Canon SL3 / 250D & Third-Party

The Canon SL3 has a great battery life if you’re just shooting stills. You’ll likely only need the Canon battery that comes with the camera for most of your shooting needs, but it’s nice to have a backup just in case you forget to charge it or end up shooting a lot of video.

Canon LP-E17 Official Batteries

Available At: Amazon

The Canon LP-E17 are the official batteries for the Canon SL3. They will give you the best performance compared to any third-party batteries. Do you need more than one battery on a DSLR? Probably not if you’re just shooting casual photography, but it’s still nice to have a backup which is when third-party batteries come in handy.

 

Wasabi LP-E17 Third-Party Batteries

Available At: Amazon

One of my favorite third-party battery brands is Wasabi. They are based out of California and use Japanese battery cells. Their batteries last a long time and have always been one of the most reliable third-party battery brands.

 

Best Memory Cards Canon SL3 / 250D

I’ve tested all the most popular UHS-I and UHS-II memory cards in the SL3. The Canon Sl3 is only a UHS-I camera so there isn’t any need to spend a ton of money on UHS-II memory cards. Check out that guide, I recommend a few nice UHS-I cards at different prices.

Canon SL3 250D Cases & Straps

There are a lot of different cases and bags you can get for your Canon SL3. I’m sure you probably bought yours with one of those bundles that come with a Canon bag, and those are nice general bags, but sometimes a pain to pack if you just want to bring a backpack.

What I’ve been using for a few years are the little bags by ThinkTank. I own a few sizes which quickly allow me to pack whatever I need into a backpack to keep the camera or lenses safe.

ThinkTank Mirrorless Mover

Available At: Amazon

They come in a few sizes. The 5 might be too small for the SL3 unless you’re just packing the body and no lens, or you could fit a small lens in it. The 20 should allow you to pack the camera with a lens and you could probably fit the SL3 in the 10 with a small lens as well. This all depends on what lenses you end up going with though. 

 

Camera Straps

The Canon SL3 uses the Canon style DLSR strap lugs. This makes picking any strap a little tricky. There are adapters you can get that will allow you to use more traditional straps it’s probably easier if you just get some straps designed for the style of connection Canon uses.

I’ll list a few straps I like that will work on the SL3.

Peak Design Clutch

Available At: Amazon

This is what I use for my primary camera. This connects to the SL3 lugs but still allows you to connect the bigger peak design staps with those little quick connection ties. So when I’m traveling around I connect the strap, then when I’m shooting I take off the strap and just go with the handgrip. It’s a system I really enjoy and I highly recommend it.

This even comes with an Arca-swiss base plate so the camera is always ready to go on a tripod.

 

Peak Design Strap

Available At: Amazon

Peak Design makes a lot of different sizes and styles of straps. The Canon SL3 is a fairly small and lightweight camera so you probably don’t need a very heavy strap. I personally use the medium size strap and it works great with the Clutch system above.

 

Cleaning Accessories

Cleaning accessories are some accessories you often overlook then hate yourself for not having them.

Here are a few of the best cleaning accessories that I like to use regularly.

Rocket Air Blaster

The rocket air blasters are one of the most important accessories a photographer can have. Using air blasters is critical for cleaning off the mirror box and sensor from dust and debris. I own several of these and I always pack one in my bag if I know I’m going to be changing my lenses on location.

Don’t forget to keep the back of your lens caps clean.

 

Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloths 6-Pack

6-pack micro fiber cleaning clothAvailable At: Amazon

While a T-shirt is fine for cleaning off your lens or rear LCD screen out on the go, it’s really nice to have some micro-fiber cleaning cloths to give your gear a thorough cleaning before or after shooting. These won’t leave dust and lint on your lenses like clothing will and this is really the only way to perfectly clean a UV filter before installing it on your lens.

 

Sensor Brush

Sensor brushAvailable At: Amazon

DSLRs like the SL3 don’t have as bad of issues with dust getting on the sensor as mirrorless cameras do, but if you do get a little piece of dust on your sensor, the best and easiest way to clean it off is with a sensor brush.

You have to keep these packed in their tube and in their bag to keep it as clean as possible. Use the air blaster to clean the bristols before applying it to your sensor.

 

Best Accessories Canon SL3 / 250D | Conclusions

The Canon SL3 is a great little camera and doesn’t really need too many accessories. Cleaning is important and of course, protection is important and the accessories above should be able to get you everything you need.

If you want a basic tripod that’s not too expensive, I use the MeFoto tripods. But there really isn’t too much more you’ll need for this little guy.
