OVERVIEW

Today I am talking about the Canon Rebel EOS T3i DSLR Camera! Most of you know or have read from other reviews that this camera is the most popular entry level DSLR camera. If you are a beginner and want to experience good quality photos on a budget, then this is the camera for you! It has a few awesome features that make this camera interesting! I know, from personal experience with the camera, that you will enjoy the results you get from using this camera. I use it all the time and have bought many lenses and other accessories to use with it!

Now lets get into the features and such of this awesome beginner DSLR!

- The camera is equipped with an ASP-C sensor, which means there is a 1.6X crop to the images compare to a full frame lenses. Ex. an EF 50mm lens on a canon T3i would actually be 80mm.

- The T3i has a 18 Megapixel resolution! Pretty good for an entry level DSLR.

- The camera comes with an EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens with is amazing considering the price point of this camera! This camera also is compatible with most EF type lenses that Canon offers as well, but you have to take in account for the 1.6X crop of the sensor.

+ It's native ISO is 100-6400 with a shutter speed of 1/4000- 30 seconds!

- It has an LCD screen to display setting and such and also an optical viewfinder. T his camera doesn't have live view for taking photos, only when using the video features.

- The dimensions are 5.2 x 3.9 x 3.1 in.(133 x 100 x 80 mm), which is on the smaller side compared to the higher end models Canon has available. Feels great in your hands and easy to hold up for longer periods of time!

- The weight of this camera is 36.4 oz, so not very heavy but still comfortable and easy to hold and handle.

Conclusion

PROS: As I have used this camera for about 4+ years now, It hasn't had any problems function wise. Has great image quality, Full HD video recording, swiveling LCD screen, and quick autofocus. Very useful and easy to use settings and menus to view your photos' data.

CONS: It has slow frame rate for action photography, it tends to over expose photos when shooting in bright light/daylight. Live view AF, when shooting video, is considerably slow.
