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!

you'll need to get a tripod, and a IS lens of at least 250mm, to see any decent craters or pop marks on the surface :)

Awesome quality; that the videos even lag out my 7 year old tower :3

not really a con; but for those looking to take moon shots

I found this camera a great entry level SLR. I found it to be compact with simple, easy to use controls. It takes great quality photos and I like the fact that it also offered video recording.

Good battery life; Nice features/settings; Quick Start-up time; Excellent image quality; Superior build quality; Solid Operation; Simple controls/menu; Easy to use

Noisy

The 1100D can also shoot at a handy 3fps useful for capturing everyone looking and smiling in a big group of family members or for capturing a fast moment without  the possibility of potentially missing the shot.

+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

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

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!

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

nice camera- at low light can be a handful- a little twitting and pictures come to life. the lens are a little pricey .canon has the best lens out there. setting can take a bit to get used to. as a starter, this camera works for me. a big update to my last camera.

i bought this camera using money i had been given as graduation present, im new to the world of slr but thats ok because stick it on auto and away you go, and as i get more used to it i can start exploring the manual settings... cant wait!
