Canon EOS 1100D - A Fairly Decent Entry Level DSLR

 

For a long time, Canon has been focusing on DSLR cameras aimed at the prosumer target audience. However, the trend has slowly changed with Canon launching competitive DSLR cameras for the lower price segment. The EOS 400D and then, the EOS 1000D were...

The Canon EOS 1100D is a big upgrade to the 1000D, but in areas such as the screen size and video recording capabilities, you don’t get as much as the Nikon D3100 for example which costs Rs. 31,960. The Canon is priced lower than the Nikon D3100 though...

The Canon T3 continues the EOS tradition with a 12.2 megapixel resolution. It does come with improved HD movie recording and in-camera editing options for recordings.

Canon EOS Rebel T3 (with 18-55mm IS II lens)

 

Rather than introduce new dSLR models at bargain-basement prices as Pentax and Sony tend to do, Canon traditionally lets its slightly higher-end models gradually fall in price until they're the de facto entry-level models. But its current starter, the...

Unsurprisingly, the Canon EOS Rebel T3 delivers excellent photo quality

Average performance, a nothing-but-the-basics feature set and claustrophobic viewfinder leave the camera an uninspiring shooter

Though it's a perfectly fine entry-level camera, there are better options for the money than the Canon EOS Rebel T3.

Canon Rebel T3 / EOS 1100D Review

 

The bottom-end of the interchangeable lens camera has become fiercely competitive with manufacturers culling features and cutting-corners to offer a tempting upgrade path from compact cameras, at the most attractive price. As a result we've seen...

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...

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...

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, as usual it is worth...

Canon Rebel T3 Review

 

Canon introduced its Rebel T3, also known as the EOS 1100D, in February 2011. The T3 is an upgrade from the Canon Rebel XS/1000D, which made its debut on the market in 2008. Canon

What follows is a quick overview of the video capabilities of the Canon EOS Rebel T3. Read our comprehensive analysis and testing results in greater detail at DigitalCameraInfo.com.

The biggest disappointment we had with the Canon T3’s video mode was the camera’s lack of essential manual controls when shooting video. Unlike it’s more expensive sibling, the Canon T3i, the T3 does not allow you to adjust aperture, shutter speed, or...

Canon EOS Rebel T3 Review

 

Announced early this year, the Canon T3 fits into the middle of the entry-level Rebel lineup with a 12.2 megapixel sensor and 720p HD video.

Good image quality ; Nice JPEG burst mode ; Great at high ISO

No video continuous AF ; Smaller monitor ; AF times not class-leading

In short, there's a lot to like with the T3 performance and not much to dislike. Image files are output at 72 dots per inch, which means you'll be resizing to send e-mails or make prints, and providing a printed user's manual that covers all camera ...

Canon EOS 1100D

 

The 1100D is designed to tempt users to upgrade from point-and-shoots and as a result carries a budget price tag

Although the EOS 1100D looks and feels its budget price tag, it is a capable SLR that offers great photographic results.
