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 c...
Affordable; simple to use; long 700-shot battery life; crammed with auto and manual shooting options; one-touch HD video recording and HDMI output
Plasticky and a tad bulky; manual focusing required when shooting video
The 1100D is a decent first rung on the EOS ladder, though a compact system camera like Panasonic's G3 might be a better bet for anyone who prefers DSLR-like control but a smaller form factor
Long battery life, Big and obvious buttons and dials, Plenty of full auto and true manual features for all levels of experience, HD video and HDMI output with one-touch recording
Not the most portable starter option, Not full HD video, Focus has to be manually adjusted when filming video which beginners may find tricky
The design of the Canon EOS 1100D is firmly evolution rather than revolution, and it looks very similar to the EOS 1000D, EOS 550D and EOS 500D that came before it. This is actually a good thing, as it's one of the neater looking DSLRs on the market. The Canon EOS 1100D is available with the now standard 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS kit lens.

The biggest disappointment with the Canon EOS 1100D is the small 2.7-inch screen on the back. It looks slightly cheap in comparison with its more expensive siblings – all of which offer larger screens – although it does help to keep the price down. Although the styling is similar to more expensive Canon models, we prefer the textured and soft-touch plastics used on the EOS 1100D's siblings – to k
The Canon EOS 1100D is well worth a look for users wanting to step up to the digital SLR market. It's affordable, offers a good range of features and is easily capable of shooting amazing photographs. As always, however, it'll be haunted by slightly ol...
Great value; beginner-friendly; optical viewfinder; comparatively light
Looks disappointingly cheap
The Canon EOS 1100D offers a great way for beginners to get into the world of digital-SLR photography, without needing to sell a lung. Its build quality could be better, though....
Picture quality up to 3200 ISO, Responsive for daytoday use, Pleasant to handle and use, Simplified modes for beginners (Custom Auto mode)
Lowdef screen, Less responsive in Raw mode, Room for improvement in the camera's build (slippery), Kit lens isn't stabilised (unless there's a 1855 mm IS kit), Awful sound in video mode
The Canon EOS 1100D is a nice upgrade of Canon's entry-level SLR. It meets all the current market standards but offers nothing more than its competitors. For example, there's no high-def screen, no stereo microphone, and a non-stabilised kit lens that ...
