Is the Canon Rebel SL1 (EOS 100D) a good starter DSLR camera?

This will be our first DSLR camera purchase. We have only used point-and-shoots and our smartphones as cameras thus far.
I like the Canon Rebel SL1 (called EOS 100 in the rest of the world) because of its price and compact size and weight. It is apparently the smallest DSLR in the market.
Just wondering if this will be a good starter DSLR camera? My only concern is whether the internals are a bit outdated (this model first came out in Mar 2013). The other camera I am looking at is Nikon D3300. It is slightly larger than the SL1, and is is a newer model - came out in Jan 2014. But frankly I can't tell which one is better.

Yes, it'll be more than enough.

More info than you can use on cameras and photography in general.

More specific for your question.
The best part of this site is that it is updated with reviews and deals on equipment.

I bought the Nikon D3300 last year. Great camera for the money.
Look online for some photo comparisons. I remember the Canon not always being true to color, and having some other small issues.
