my first DSLR

I HAVE HAD MY CANON REBEL T3i HAVE A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW, AND I LOVE IT!!! MY PASSION IS TO PHOTOGRAPH MY GRANDSONS, BIRDS, AND MY PLANTS IN FLOWER. THIS CAMERA DOES IT ALL WONDERFULLY!!!

GREAT CAMERA!!!

Amazing camera with so much potential. I would recommend to anyone who is thinking about getting into photography. I do a lot of rock climbing photography and product photography. The lens that comes with the camera isn't to bad but I would also recommend a 24mm prime lens and a 50mm prime lens.

Perfect

This is the perfect camera for the mid range photographer: the one who loves to take photographs vs pictures, but doesn't want to spend the big bucks for a full frame camera. It allows the versatility of the full frame at an affordable price. My photos are amazing. I love the feel, settings, locations of all controls, and the fact that you can change your lenses. Ditch the kit lens and you have a great camera!

Great camera for the money!

I have been a die hard Canon user for over 35 years now, I've had Film camera's AE and AE1 and AE1 Program that I used to do Weddings with. I've had 2 other DSLR's in the past, the Rebel XTi and XSi and I've loved them both, though with all the updates to the cameras I feel they've fallen behind. So decided to see what else was out there and found the T3i and I'm happy already and I've only taken a few hundred shots in the last few days!

I agree there's more to this camera then I'll probably ever use, as I'm a die hard Manual fan, I need control over what I'm shooting to be sure I'm getting what I want. I've tried some of the video which I've never done before and it appears that my San Disk 48mb Class 10 card isn't fast enough, it keeps shutting down after a few secs. No problem, not what I got the camera for.

With all my older cameras, I never felt the need for an IS lens, with this one I got my first one, and I'm sold on them now, and I'm drooling over a 150-600 IS lens that's gonna set me back a bit though would REALLY improve my love of Canon Cameras!

Keep up the great work Canon, you've got a fan for life here!

Very Happy Camper!

I really liked the bag it fit everything I had and it is so handy and easy to use.

I love my camera , still learning all the settings , wish I had a cd to explain all the settings.

Bought the t3i even though it is an older model. Ths features are great! So far so good!

Awesome!

In 2006, I saw a review on TV for the Powershot A410, and I decided that a compact was a good match for my needs. For it's size and price, this turned out to be an outstanding camera with great automated functions and some basic custom features. I still have it as a backup.

In 2012 I decided to get a little more serious so I picked up a Rebel T3 / 18-55 IS II lens kit along with a 55-250 IS II lense. With this camera, I learned that I have a pretty strong interest in photography. As I learned more about my shooting style, and the features and strengths of the T3, I eventually saw a need for something a little more advanced, however I wanted to be able to make use of my EFS lenses for the short term.

When I found out that the t3i had been discontinued, I decided that I had better get one while I could still find a brand new one. I have low vision, and can't use touch screen cameras because the proximity sensor shuts the screen off when I get close enough to see it, so I took advantage of my last chance at a good crop body and picked up a T3i / 18-55 IS II kit so I could sell my old one.

The T3i lived up to my expectations. In many ways it's similar to the t3 but offers a more advanced image sensor, an articulated screen and more external controls, which I have already found to be a big help after 2 months of light use.

Articles I've read state that the Canon lens lineup is the best in the industry, both in terms of clearity and focal length. For this reason, I plan to stick with Canon products. They have done well for me so far, and both old models are still working perfectly. The image sensors in the new Rebel Tx take full advantage of the abilities of the kit lenses, so my next step is to get a faster portrait lens, and eventually a faster telephoto zoom. I still haven't seen the full extent of this camera's abilities.

Best overall brand

My review of the Canon T3i is positive. While searching for the best value camera for its price range, I decided on the Canon T3i. First of all it has an 18 mega pixel resolution, but when learning of the CMOS I found that the Canon APS-C is just a little bit smaller than other cameras in its price range. I was not dismayed about this fact. The camera does all I need it to do. The menu is easily followed and if you decide to use it to make videos, you will need a faster card than what Canon recommends. I purchased a 128 GB Class 10 card and it will not function using that card for videos. You will need a faster card with faster write speeds. The camera writes so fast to the buffer the class 10 card simply cannot keep up with the camera. I would suggest that you use a Class 10 card with a UHS-1 speed. Although Canon does not think a UHS-1 card is supported by this camera, I've read many reviews about using this card for videos. One reviewer stated that he called Canon support and they told him that a UHS-1 card CAN be used with the Canon T3i.
The kit lens does a pretty good job for general photography, but if you want to shoot wildlife you will need to get a telephoto lens for the camera. Canon makes a lot of really nice lenses for their cameras, however, I'll probably purchase a non-auto focus lens because I use the camera mostly in the manual mode and do not mind focusing on my subject. I think auto-focus lenses are overpriced and totally unnecessary. I guess I'm still a film camera user that has moved to the digital camera age. All of my 35mm film cameras never had any auto-focus lenses on them. They were not made at that time. I feel that if you are an amateur photographer then an auto-focus lens may be right for you. However, image stabilization is almost a must for any camera lens. When using non auto-focusing lenses I usually use a tripod to eliminate camera shake. I guess it just depends on what you want to do as a photographer.
If I had the money I surely would have purchased a Canon 5D mark iii as it is a full frame sensor camera. I consider the Canon 5D mark iii as the "Cadillac" of the full frame DSLR cameras.
Although the Canon T3i will not take HDR photos, it is still a remarkable little compact Digital Single Lens Reflex camera. The menu system is easy to use and the "Q" functions are very handy when making adjustments to your shooting style. As previously stated, I use my Canon almost entirely in the manual mode because I like to maintain full control of my shots, using a tripod when necessary. I like the T3i's ability to use a flash while using very slow shutter speeds when shooting at night. It will light up the foreground just enough while using a long exposure for photographing the moon.
My photographer buddy sold me on the Canon line of cameras even though I'd looked at other brands. I think that I shall get much use out of my Canon T3i and when I want to update to a full frame camera, I'll probably get the Canon 5D mark iii.
I just looked at an e-mail from Canon and they have just released the Canon T6i, a 24.2 mega pixel camera that really looks good with its wi-fi capability. What really impressed me is their new 50.6 mega pixel camera, the 5Ds and 5Dsr, but I'm sure by the time I get to that point they will have released an even more superlative camera than the 5Dsr. Canon just keeps making great cameras.

Great pictures and easy to use! Like the creative mode and effects built in to the camera

Awesome camera

I absolutely love my new Canon t3i!! I have been waiting a long time for this purchase and it hasn't disappointed. I am still learning all the functions but it takes beautiful pictures despite me lack of knowledge! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new camera.

My Canon

love the camera, getting the package deal was the only way to go. I did have a hard time following the directions. It seems hard looking for information. Maybe tabs or colored side bars would be helpful. Quick instructions in the front of the book on how to set and shoot quicker, then followed by i depth directions when you are used to handling the camera.

great camera

Love my camera, but I'm not able to upload photos to my iMac anymore because Cannon has not kept up with current operating systems. EOS Utility will not launch on Yosemite and it appears there is no good workaround.

Great Camera - Disappointing Software

A while back, I purchased a Canon rebel T3i that came with two 58 mm lens. Let me tell you that the pictures this camera produces are spectacular! I use this camera for professional photography and recreational photography. I'm totally blown away by the quality of both the camera and photos. Very easy to learn, many tutorials on line for the rebel T3i. And the option to use wireless slave flashes makes it even better. Canon, the rebel T3i rocks, this photographer is in love. Do many add ons available. This camera is a must have for anyone looking to buy a DSLR. Thank you canon for a great product!

canon T3i

I'm so excited that I purchased this camera. I have been learning a ton about photography and this camera has been a great tool for me to get started on. I'm excited to invest in some other lenses and continue learning about the art of photography.

Great Beginner DSLR

This camera Is easy to use. Takes great Pictures, close up and at a distance. I have also made movies . I am an Amateur But This camera will take Pro. pictures.I am well satisfied With my Purchase.

Excelent Choice

I have always wanted to be a professional photographer. It just wasn't in the stars for me, but I got this camera back in 2012 and I have found so many new ways to express myself and move forward in my old age. I can fond nothing wrong with this camera especially if you want a great entry level DSLR with more options that you will ever use.

I have been using my T3i for a few years now and am still learning new things about it regularly. I absolutely LOVE it. I definitely needed a zoom lens for it -- was my first purchase after getting the camera. I love that my family can also use it in AUTO mode if need be. I love the flip out screen for reviewing my photos or if we use the self-timer option!! I keep post-it notes for some settings jotted down for quick reference in that hidden area as well. : I take portraits, nature scenes and sporting events and have no complaints about the way the camera works. I LOVE my Canon -- I have 3 other Canons and the quality of their product is phenomenal! Wouldn't own any other brand! ?

LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

I have modified the T3i so that it has no IR blocking filter.  It now has a special filter which allows passage of hydrogen lines of nebula. The T3i has the same chip as the 60Da.  This camera is fun and easy to set up for telescope use and will WOW you with beautiful photos of colorful night sly objects unseen by the eye or less than seen through large expensive telescopes. It is also great for everyday use.  However, if you modify it, you will need to add a lens filter or change the white balance to get the correct scene colors as we normally see them. Great camera at great price.  Adorama has some very good used equipment and my Canon T3i is no exception.  As of now, I have no cons. I have not used the video feature yet.

Great for Astrophotography

My husband bought this camera with the lens kits for me as a gift. It is my first DSLR camera I have ever had. It is super easy to use, the manual explains everything and in great detail. This camera is great for beginners like me and great for those who already know the basics. Couldn't have asked for a better product.

Love this camera!

I have used many different digital cameras and printers and have to say-The canon has been around for a while-And the reason it has-Is because of their product lines-The camera has worked great from day one-And is the same type my daughter uses in school-And you can get all kinds of attachment for this-And on top of that-Its easy to use-Try one for yourself and you will see

BEST SO FAR

I have yet to use it a lot--too cold here--but am impressed with it an Consumer's Report rates it as a good buy!

A great camera, light weight but still v

Love the camera. It does everything I need and more.

Great camera

We bought this camera to take family photos, vacation, etc.  It is excellent.  Very will made..It just feels solid in your hands.  Controls are logical.  It is also fairly light weight.

Great starter camera. We have the 18-55 and 55-250 EF-S lenses and they all take great pictures.

Great starter camera!

Refurbished camera was just like new. Exactly what I was looking for.

I got this camera for making videos for my youtube channel. To be honest I was not expecting it to be this good. Everything is great and easy to use. I love this camera.

Amazed and satisfied

Birthday present to myself over two years ago. I have had a lot of cameras starting with a box Brownie. Of all of my cameras this has been my favorite. Distance, close up, in between the photos are clean and clear. The camera has great balance and as I carry it around in my hand the weight is good. Solid but light weight. Thank you Canon for a great product.

This has been a great camera

I bought this t3i "used"

You couldn't even tell that it had been taken out of the box!
