Canon EOS 1100D review

Out of the four main budget/entry DSLRs on the market - also including the Sony Alpha 390 , Pentax K-x and Nikon D3100 - the Canon 1100D comes good right across the board. And that's something that each of its competitors lacks to quite the same degree.
Pros:
  • Image quality
  • autofocus performance (at this entry level
Cons:
  • Softness and quality issues from kit lens
  • plasticy build
  • sluggish live view
