Bought this to replace my aging 1ds to have a smaller much lighter body, with modern useability and specs. So far so good. I could place all my lenses which i already had on this well finished body. What a giant dissapointment in the picture quality.

Nice to buy; even better to get rid off

Terrible picture quality

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.

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 shooting video more carefully than you would with a...

Excellent and proven 18-megapixel sensor; Lots of detail; especially in RAW files; Very good high ISO performance; Very accurate colors; Full HD video capability at three frame rates with auto or manual exposure control; Video Digital Zoom; ranging from 3-10x; Good quality optics with image...

Dynamic range is not up to par with the best APS-C sensors; No microfocus adjustment; Very warm auto white balance indoors; Sluggish startup and mode switching; Only center AF point is cross-type; while the Canon 60D has all nine cross-type (for those considering a 60D; 3.7fps is slow for sports...

The Canon EOS Rebel T3i , also known as the Canon EOS 600D, is an entry-level digital SLR that's definitely worth a look. The camera is an evolutionary step up from the Rebel T2i (EOS 550D) but introduces a handful of appreciated features such as the rotating 3 inch display, wireless flash control...

Very good image quality with good lenses and very little noise; Compact in size for a digital SLR; Big and flexible rotating 3 inch display with very high resolution; Excellent performance (except live view and burst duration; Full manual controls; customizable My Menu and RAW image support; Useful...

Bundled kit lenses make images slightly soft, Below average battery life; decrease from predecessor, Small continuous shooting buffer for RAW images and sluggish live view autofocus, Large movie file sizes with existing codec/format and no movie continuous autofocus

Rebels have always delivered good value wrapped up in a compact package and it's why I personally own two-a Rebel XT and a Rebel XTi-both of them converted to infrared-only capture.

The Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D delivers 18 megapixels of professional grade image quality in a compact , lightweight , feature-filled , easy-to-use body that carries a very affordable price tag.

Please watch the video full-screen and at the highest resolution. (I had a hot chocolate just before the video, so my apologies. That's HD for you.)I've been taking a few shots with my new Canon EOS 600d / Digital Rebel T3i over the last few days, you know, the usual thing, nipping out at lunch from...

The Rebel T3i continues the tradition of the entry-level line of Canon DSLRs by staying at the top of the pile – although, it is closely surrounded by the likes of the Nikon D5100 and the T3i's bigger, badder brother, the 60D .

While the T3i doesn't come across as a major upgrade to the T2i, it's a thoughtful addition to the line and keeps Canon competitive with the likes of the long-in-the-tooth Nikon D5000. Though due for an upgrade, that Nikon now has no major advantage over Canon at this level of camera body.

Ahead of the CP+ camera show in Japan the week of Feb. 7, 2011, Canon announced two new DSLRs and two new Speedlites. The Canon EOS Digital Rebel T3i is pretty much the basics of the T2i (same 18MP CMOS sensor, AF and metering system) but with the tilt and swivel LCD screen of the EOS 60D added,...
