Question: t3 vs t3i
Document: LOVE the T3i. With 18 megapixels, full HD video, and the Canon name, it'll still be high tech in 10 years +. The two main upgrades from the T3 are 12.2 vs. 18 megapixels, and the fact that the T3i has an articulated screen.
Amazing camera, I was between the T3i and the T3. The difference was about $100 (the T3i was on sale) and the flip out LCD and increased resolution were well worth it. I take it out at night for photographs of the stars and the 18MP vs. 12.2MP is a noticable difference. I also photograph airplanes and so it helps to have that little bit of increased resolution when I blow those photos up to poster size.
But there are some important differences.If you are considering the Rebel T3i vs T2i, the Rebel T3i is replacing the T2i. Since both cameras share the same 18 megapixel sensor and Digic 4 processor, both the T2i and T3i will create images with exactly the same image quality, produce the same low light/ high ISO performance, shoot at 3.7 frames per second, and have nearly the same size and build quality.
Skip the package with the 75-300mm zoom. Get the package with the 55-250mm IS zoom. (more below on that)The two main T3i upgrade points (megapixels and articulated screen) do make it cost a good bit more than the T3, but the upgrades are well worth it. As for the 75-300 vs 55-250 IS lens -- IS is the key - image stabilization. A friend of mine with the 75-300 lens said, "It's practically worthless.
I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced DSLR with some great capabilities. I ordered this one over the t4i, not only because of the pricing differences but because of the similarities of the functions. The t3i is about 3 steps ahead of the t3, and is right on par with the t4i. The tilting screen is great for showing off pictures without getting crowded, and the manual settings are great and easily fixed to how they are needed.
I am in LOVE with my new Canon EOS Rebel T3i. I was stuck between canon and nikon for a while, but in the end I went with canon simply because I liked the feel of it better. Anyway, I'm in college studying photography and this camera was actually way more than I even needed. They recommended at least a canon t3 but I wanted to get a better one so I could start some freelancing a little here and there.
Also, it can shoot at 1/8000 vs 1/4000, again, useless for film.I think most people who buy this camera are doing so purely because they believe it looks and feels more professional, they don't really understand it's the same hardware. My advice is either step up to a full frame body, or buy the T3I. The D60 is an odd one in the lineup, not sure what canon was thinking.
There is not a humongous jump in features vs. its T2i brother and for some, the T2i may be enough, in fact, if you are not planning to shoot video, some people may want just the XSi which I still see people using and have taken great pictures with it.But for me, the extra features that I saw with this camera, I have seen the potential that I can utilize in different settings of event coverage that I go to.
There is only one 50mm el-cheapo which apparently looks extremely cheap but I will buy it anyway.I upgraded from nikon D50 to this. So of course the pictures are much much better.In hindsight, The nikon D5100 has a better (larger DX sensor vs canon APS sized sensor) sensor. So less noise on the Nikon.Also, I think that video modes in SLR cameras are fairly useless unless you are good with manual focussing and use the tripod.
Have fun with your Canon EOS Rebel T3i!! !
Answer: For photography I think both are almost the same.But in the video subjet, the T3i is way better. In the the video mode you can control ISO, Speed, Aperture... In the T3 you can't just auto mode.If you you want to save some money and just take pictures and video in auto mode. Go for the T3... If money isnt a issue go for the t3i for sure.
