Canon EOS Rebel T3i

The Canon EOS Rebel T3i is a fast, high-performing digital SLR, but it isn't as good as its predecessor, the Editors' Choice-winning T2i, which, thankfully, is still available.

Quick. Good picture quality.

Extremely slow Live View mode. Not as fast as the T2i, images aren't as sharp.

Canon EOS Rebel T3i

The Canon EOS Rebel T3i is a complete picture-taking machine, especially when you use it with its 18-135mm, f/3.5-5.6 IS optional kit lens. The latest Rebel features an LCD that you can swing out and position at a variety of angles, as well as full HD...

Adjustable 3-inch LCD ; Outstanding image quality, even at ISO 1600 ; Wireless flash transmitter for multiple flashes ; Full HD recording options with external mic jack

Some physical controls are oddly placed ; Auto White Balance struggles in indoor lighting ; Lack of single-button movie recording

The Canon EOS Rebel T3i, with an 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS optional kit lens, is a complete picture-taking and moviemaking machine.

Canon EOS Rebel T3i review: Canon EOS Rebel T3i

Canon EOS Rebel T3i

The ; delivers excellent video capabilities and image and video quality.

If you shoot both still and video, the T3i's controls can be frustrating to operate, and it's not terribly fast for burst shooting sports, kids, or pets.

For the money, the Canon EOS Rebel T3i is a great choice for dSLR videographers--though the cheaper T2i can still suffice if you don't need the articulated LCD--and it's a solid choice for creative still shooters. But though the image quality and...

Canon Rebel T3i / EOS 600D Review

Ever since Canon introduced its original 'Digital Rebel' back in August 2003 - famously the first 'affordable' digital SLR - the company has continually developed and refined its entry-level line with ever-more-frequent releases, adding in more and...

Excellent image quality even at high ISO settings ; Extremely high detail and resolution at base ISO, good per-pixel sharpness ; Good dynamic range, improved by use of Highlight Tone Priority ; On-screen Q-Menu offers good access to shooting settings ;...

Slow AF in Live Mode reduces benefit of articulated screen for stills shooting ; White balance often excessively orange under artificial light ; Button functions in live view mode very different from conventional mode ; Key features and parameters...

The Rebel T3i / 600D is exactly the camera that we'd expect it to be - it's feature-rich, reasonably priced, enjoyable to use and, most importantly, takes great pictures. It's not a particularly innovative camera but it is a generally well planned one....

Canon T3i DSLR Camera Review

What follows is a quick overview of the video capabilities of the Canon EOS Rebel T3i. Read our comprehensive analysis and testing results in greater detail at DigitalCameraInfo.com.

Canon is a leader in both camera and camcorder products, so it should come to no surprise that the Rebel T3i is one of the better video-capable DSLRs we’ve seen. We lauded the Canon 7D's video performance last year, and the T3i came close to matching...

Canon EOS 600D Review

The 18 megapixel Canon EOS 600D (called the Digital Rebel T3i in North America) is a new DSLR camera that sits above last year's 550D / T2i at the top of Canon's entry-level EOS line-up. The 600D / T3i offers a 1,040,000-dot vari-angle LCD screen, a...

The Canon EOS 600D / Rebel T3i further blurs the lines between consumer and prosumer DSLR, offering the portability of the former with some of the advanced features of the latter. The vari-angle LCD is the most welcome addition, making perfect sense on...

Canon T3i Review

Staking out the high end of the Rebel line, the Canon T3i shares the excellent image quality of its predecessor (the T2i), and offers the articulating LCD, remote flash control, and creative filters also found in the 60D. With Full HD video support,...

Excellent image quality; Good grip; Full HD video recording; Swiveling LCD; Very fast autofocus; HDMI output

Slow frame rate for sports shooting; Tendency to overexpose in bright sunlight; Live View AF is slow; No microfocus adjustment

As it stands, the Canon T3i is the flagship Rebel, with the T3 and T2i beneath it in features. Its still image quality is among the best in its price range, and its video modes are quite complete, offering excellent quality, provided you can handle...
