Canon Rebel T3 / EOS 1100D Review

Review based on a production Canon EOS 1100D with Firmware V1.0.4

The bottom-end of the similar relationships electronic digital electronic camera has become progressively aggressive with producers culling functions and cutting-corners to offer a eye-catching update path from lightweight digital cameras, at the most eye-catching cost. Consequently we've seen management telephone mobile cellphone calls, path receptors and even concentrate search engines vanish to decrease the expenses of these entry-level, trip digital cameras. From the customer's viewpoint, of course, we've also seen engineering once only in the arrive at of the experts narrow down to almost lightweight electronic digital electronic camera expenses.

For several decades, Concept and then Nikon were able to figure out up the sub-$1000 DSLR industry between themselves, without any particular issue about other gamers in the marketplace. But this hegemony was never likely to last, especially once the gadgets management such as Panasonic, Panasonic and New new new samsung had a chance to get prepared their own opponents. Gradually even Concept had to reaction to the overall look of these companies' progressively amazing low-end unique deals, such as with the breaking of its Insurgent sequence into a several design wide range.

In Sept 2008, rather than just allowing the confident model's cost fall when the next electronic digital electronic camera was offered, Concept released a definitely new design that sat below its then very latest Insurgent XSi/450D. The Insurgent XS (EOS 1000D in Europe) was unashamedly a cut-down edition of the XSi but its combination of a well efficient indication and amazing cost tag have seen it keep offer incredibly, particularly at the price-conscious end of the industry.

Two-and-a-half decades is nearly two lifestyle in modern electronic digital electronic camera conditions, so it was starting to look like the XS might come to be a one-off, until the release of its alternative in Feb 2011. The Insurgent T3 (EOS 1100D) creates on a efficient program and needs it further, providing a amazing (if not exactly cutting-edge) set of functions in a body system that indicates it should be very able of aggressive on cost.

The 1100D needs a sequence of familiar-sounding elements and facial lines them together in a incredibly traditional but still capable-sounding program. So there's a 12MP CMOS processer that is likely to go returning to the 450D/XSi, moreover to The rule eos now-standard 9-point AF program and the 63-area iFCL (Focus, color and luminance sensitive) metering program first seen in the EOS 7D. These combination with the in the same way well-known Digic 4 processer processer to offer a electronic digital electronic camera that's unlikely to offer much in the way of entertainment (which should also mean the prevention of any upsetting ones).

Sitting alongside the Rebel XS (1000D), it's clear that T3 (1100D) is very slightly larger but only by a fraction. The new model eschews the 1000D's textured plastic, instead being constructed of smooth, rather low-density materials.
The rear view shows the 1100D has been updated in line with more recent Canon DSLRs, gaining direct access to live view/movie shooting and a Q button for the interactive 'Quick Control' displays.

• 12MP CMOS sensor
