I like the ease in which to use the special feature knob.I also like the ease of downloading of pictures from the camera to the printer or computer and printing pctures as I select which them.

The camera information displayed on the rear screen is very helpful when shooting a special shot.

After using the camera it is hard to find a weakness

This camera isn't very sensitive to shaking, which is good because my hands are the exact opposite of steady! Both lenses perform brilliantly and battery life is pretty good. And it's a good price for amateur photographers/film makers!

Excellent camera for someone just starting out with DSLR and who wants to start taking better images. The real treat in this camera is the ease of use. It gives you an easy transition from simple point and shoots or even if you're just picking up a camera for the first time.

Quick Start-up time; Excellent image quality; Bright LCD; Solid Operation; Lightweight/Portable; Simple controls/menu; Easy to use

Missing features/settings

I bought this camera last week from DickSmith. It is an AWESOME entry level camera. You quickly learn how to use it, and within hours your taking brilliant quality pics. I would however recommend buying the twin kit (2 lens), as you'll find to buy the second lens is a lil over priced when not in the...

But Grunin at CNET calls the T3's features "uninspiring," and recommends stepping up to Canon's next level. For example, the EOS Rebel T2i (*Est. $650 with kit lens) offers spot metering, a tool that helps the camera correctly photograph high-contrast scenes like the moon on a dark night.

Impressive image quality; Compact and lightweight; Easy for beginners to use; Exposure bracketing

"Claustrophobic" optical viewfinder; Shoots only 720p HD video

+Excellent image quality and detail, very low noise at high ISOs and long exposures which makes it ideal for astrophotography.Reliable metering in all conditions; HD video quality is pretty good. Nice button layout and ergonomics. -Lacks sensor cleaning function, spot metering and full hd video.

Excellent image quality; very low noise at high ISOs; HD video

Slow burst speed in raw; no sensor cleaning; no spot metering

Marking a new entry point to the Rebel line, the Canon T3 offers good image quality, a friendly design, and excellent battery life. Although its burst-shooting capabilities don't match the best-in-class, and has a few omissions such as dust removal and spot metering, these are fairly easy to...

Good ergonomics; varied button-shapes make it easy to operate by feel, Solid build for a plastic-bodied camera, Generally good image quality for its class, Reasonably wide sensitivity range for an entry-level model, Excellent detail from RAW files, Accurate color, Creative Auto mode replaces photo

Control dial is very stiff; and not ideally angled for comfort; Flash button is easy to miss; since it lacks a screen-printed label; New viewfinder has slightly less magnification; much narrower diopter adjustment range; Very warm auto white balance when shooting indoors; Burst speeds lower than

This is my first foray into DSLR and this camera is making it very easy for me and is making me take more photos than ever before. The lens is a decent all purpose zoom very quick to zoom in and out from your subject, and focuses very quickly.

A fine entry level DSLR camera. Gives superb pictures, easy to use, but has plenty of more sophisticated features too. Canon doing what Canon do best. However, the first one was faulty - it came up with a software error message after every shot. But that's why I bought it from John Lewis!

If you have a flair for photography and want to earn a high-end camera that can result in quality rich pictures and videos, then just turn your head to Canon EOS 1100D. This member from the house of Canon is one of the premium reasonable SLR cameras in the market these days.

LCD screen is not very bright; lacks in-built cleaning system and manual video settings
