Canon EOS Rebel T3 (1100D) Review
Canon unveiled the Canon EOS Rebel T3 (or EOS 1100D) entry-level digital SLR at the end of the first quarter of 2011. The Canon EOS Rebel T3 is the perfect DSLR camera for the entry-level photographer who wishes to switch to DSLR photos. It comes equipped with a 12 MP CMOS sensor and with Canon's latest DIGIC 4 image processor. The entry level DSLR is capable of 720HD movie recording. Canon upgraded to a 9-point AF sensor, as the big brother T3i, compared to the 7 points on the Rebel XS. The camera comes standard with the version II 18 - 55 mm IS lens or you can upgrade to the Mark III version.
The Canon T3 works better with the standard lens than the T3i does. The kit lens (version II 18-55mm IS lens) and the 12MP sensor produce a very impressive image and the T3 will work well with the low-end lenses. A point against the T3 is the plastic construction, which feels lightweight. When you attach a heavier lens, this destabilizes the camera. It may be irritating eventually
With a few adjustments, the Basic+ feature helps you in taking pictures that are more creative. You can brighten or darken the picture.
