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

Putting things into perspective, for a camera that is aimed at the entry-level user the Canon EOS 1100D delivers where it is most important, and that's in image quality. The 12MP sensor may lack the resolution of the bigger models but this DSLR has been designed to keep things simple, with the...

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.

Although it occupies the entry-level position in Canon's SLR lineup, the Rebel T3 has a fairly rich feature set, and offers a significant step forwards from the earlier Rebel XS. Handling is good, with a comfortable grip, although those with larger hands may find the handgrip just slightly shallow...

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

I've had it for a day and I love it. Its a great base camera, I plan on buying bigger lenses in the future because this one is quite minimal.

The Canon EOS 1100D / Rebel T3 is a small and light DSLR camera with an all-plastic shell, weighing in at just under 500g with the battery and memory card fitted and measuring 129.9 x 99.7 x 77.9 mm.

This 12.2-megapixel DSLR upgrades the 1000D and slots in at the start of the EOS range, where it does battle with Nikon's equally beginner-friendly D3100. As this is supposed to be Canon's most affordable DSLR, it unsurprisingly features a plastic, grey outer shell which makes it appear a little toy...

Affordable; simple to use; long 700-shot battery life; crammed with auto and manual shooting options; one-touch HD video recording and HDMI output

Plasticky and a tad bulky; manual focusing required when shooting video Price: £419 body only or £499 with 18-55mm zoom lens

As it stands, the 1100D is a good camera to buy for upgraders from a 1000D, or even Nikon shooters with a D60 who want to change over. If you are using a compact camera and looking to upgrade to a dSLR, the 1100D will expand your shooting possibilities, but remember that investing in lenses is a...

Crisp & clear sensor; Decent kit lens

Only 720p HD video recording; Smallish viewfinder

This camera is a Great value for the price. The only downfall is that this camera has no self cleaning,which isn't a huge deal.overall recommended to anyone looking for a quality entry level DSLR.

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.

The design of the Canon EOS 1100D is firmly evolution rather than revolution, and it looks very similar to the EOS 1000D, EOS 550D and EOS 500D that came before it; This is actually a good thing, as it's one of the neater looking DSLRs on the market.

The biggest disappointment with the Canon EOS 1100D is the small 2.7-inch screen on the back; It looks slightly cheap in comparison with its more expensive siblings – all of which offer larger screens – although it does help to keep the price down.
