  • Canon EOS Rebel T3

    Pros:
    •Decent resolution and detail at base ISO
    •Consistently reliable metering and good AF accuracy
    •Useful highlight tone priority mode
    •Intuitive user interface
    •Beginner-friendly 'Basic+' control Screens
    •On-screen Q-Menu offers good access to shooting settings
    •Good battery life
    •Comprehensive software bundle
    •Attractive price point

    Cons:
    •Plastic body has a cheap feel to it, no rubberized grips
    •Very simple video mode (no manual controls, only one resolution setting, no external mic)
    •Very slow contrast detect AF in live view and movie mode
    •Comparatively small viewfinder
    •Combined battery/card compartment can make tripod use a little tricky
    •Flash less powerful than on previous Canon entry-level models
    •Slow continuous shooting in RAW mode
    •Spec-sheet a little weak compared to some competitors

    Build quality: 5.7/10
    Ergonomics & handling: 7.1/10
    Features: 4.5/10
    Metering & focus accuracy: 5.7/10
    Image quality (raw): 6.5/10

    Low light / high ISO performance: 5.9/10
    Viewfinder / screen rating: 3.6/10
    Performance: 4.9/10
    Movie / video mode: 5/10
    Value: 5/10

    Good for
    Beginners who want a solid entry-level camera for general photography

    Not so good for
    Photographers who focus on video, extreme low light photography or anything that requires fast continuous shooting

    The Canon EOS 1100D is a solid entry-level performer but doesn't offer anything out of the ordinary. The image quality is decent, it's easy to use and beginners will find their way around the user interface pretty quickly. However, competition in the entry-level market is fierce and it is worth having a closer look at other options as well.

    Canon EOS Digital Rebel T3 SLR

    Pros
    Lightweight and compact body available in four colors; Black, Red, Metalic Gray, and Brown
    Loads of useful exposure options for Any user
    Image quality is excellent, both indoors and out
    Flash button in comfortable location
    Button customization for various controls; like the flash and Set buttons for instance
    Robust shooting performance
    Capable AF system, even in low-light to almost total darkness with flash as AF-assist lamp
    OVF is nice and comfortable
    Impressive high ISO performance
    Amazing low price of just $599 US with the EF-S 18-55mm IS II kit lens

    Cons
    No full HD video mode
    Exposure can be a bit strong at times when shooting in the automatic exposure modes in bright sunlight
    No rubberized grip like the T3i
    LCD is a bit small (2.7-inches), but usable
    Live View shooting performance is still quite sluggish
    Autofocus during Live View is very poor, hunting for focus both indoors and out

    Bottom line
    Canon has hit a home run with their Canon EOS Rebel T3. The most affordable dSLR in their ranks, the T3 offers outstanding performance, ergonomics, and image quality for a price that is hard to beat by its competition. We here at Steve's give the T3 a huge "thumbs up"!  Read more in our Full Conclusion.
