Canon is the well known name in the electronic industry provides a good range of cameras, camera accessories and printers in the market. The brand name says everything about the product. Canon EOS 1100 SLR is one of the best camera from the stores of Canon.

I wanted to buy a beginner dslr camera but was confused between the brands of Nikon and Canon. My friend suggested me to go for Canon EOS 1100d. It is a good entry level DSLR which has a guide mode for newcomers. Though it can handle upto 6400 ISO, the grains are highly visible at 6400 ISO.

The EOS Rebel T3, or 1100D, is Canon's latest entry-level DSLR. Announced in February 2011, it comes no less than two and a half years after its predecessor, the EOS Rebel XS / 1000D; indeed it's such a long time in the digital camera industry, especially for Canon, that many wondered if the company...

Good image quality that's similar to modern 14 Mpixel rivals; Quick and easy access to many settings; Live View and HD video recording (albeit at 720p only); Supplied with decent RAW and remote control software

Plasticky body with no rubber surfaces - feels cheap, Continuous shooting buffer small; Slows down for RAW, Relatively small 2.7in screen, Weaker popup flash than many rivals

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.

Canon has long catered well for the entry-level digital SLR market. Canon's EOS 300D was the first digital SLR available for under £1000 and as technology has advanced, its cameras aimed at this market have been made cheaper and more compact, whilst still sporting a decent array of features.

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

Only 2fps continuous shooting when set to RAW; Basic kit lens is not image stabilised; IS version costs more; Value for money could be better; Lacks sensor cleaning technology

The Canon EOS 1100D 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...

It seems at odds with these hard times that new cameras are released more frequently than ever, with people seemingly having enough cash to splash out on new camera kit. One section of the camera market that is particularly busy and competitive is that of the entry-level DSLR.

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.
