The Rebel T3 is Canon's replacement for its successful entry-level camera, the Rebel XS. The T3 has been a long time coming in digital photography terms. It doesn't offer much in the way of surprises, but it's a compact and easy to use DSLR.

The EOS Rebel T3, or 1100D, is Canon's latest entry-level DSLR.

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.

is Canon's entry level camera, and is the second camera to be introduced since the 1000D.
