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

Beware of digideals for less, I ordered this camera to give as a gift for a girl in the family and it turned out it was not the T3 but t5 without the blue folder on the lens. This is disappointing:(. Not what I had ordered.

I bought this camera for my nice who is studying filmmaking in Argentina. Easily unpacking and ready to use right away. Awesome video resolution, crispy image and great sound. This camera is very light and and easy to handle. Very happy for this purchase.

Light; easy to handle

Nothing just yet

I like the ease in which to use the special feature knob.I also like the ease of downloading of pictures from the camera to the printer or computer and printing pctures as I select which them.

The camera information displayed on the rear screen is very helpful when shooting a special shot.

After using the camera it is hard to find a weakness

Although this is a great camera and takes breath taking pictures, I did have one problem after 2 months of having this camera. I had a pixel burn out on it to where it showed a black spot in every picture. Luckily it is still under warranty to get it fixed because it has to do with the CMOS.

The EOS 1100D follows on from the 1000D as Canon's budget digital SLR aimed, like the Nikon D3100 , at those trading up from a compact camera for the first time.

Joshua Waller puts the Canon EOS 1100D through an expert test to see how this new camera performs.

Excellent image quality; Excellent colour reproduction; Extremely low noise; Excellent battery life; Brilliant JPEG output; Easy to use menu system

The Canon EOS Rebel T3 is a solid albeit unexciting, entry-level DSLR that is-for the most part-easy to use. Beginner photographers or those who want a little help along the way will appreciate the camera's on-board Feature Guide; enthusiasts who are comfortable with DSLR features can easily disable...

Improving on the 1000D, the Canon 1100D features a larger 12.2Mp APS-C 12.2Mp CMOS sensor and a 1.6x crop factor, meaning the 18-55mm kit lens is equivalent to 28.8-88mm in film terms.

I use the 1100D for outside shotsmainly, occasional portrait pics for business. The basics are unshiftably in place - speed, basic settings, focus and flash options. But I can't help thinking I am missing out, partly due to my lack of expertise (my problem!

Durable; Great Picture Quality

Bulky; Lacks Intuitive Usability
