Performance + Convenience = Value
Canon's EOS Rebel T3i is one incredible value. This Digital SLR features a full 18-megapixel resolution for crystal-clear, detailed photos, even when you decide to go with the large prints. Life happens quickly, and with ISO speeds all the way up to 6400, you can capture it without worrying about blurring. And LiveView functionality combined with a DIGIC 4 image processor ensures that what you see in the viewfinder is what you see on the print. But it isn't just performance that makes this DSLR such an incredible value; it's also convenience. In addition to offering complete creative control over your shots, the Rebel T3i features several automatic modes to make snapping shots without switching settings a breeze — perfect for family events. Picture Styles let you easily add effects to your pictures. And when a picture just isn’t enough to capture the moment, Full HD 1920 x 1080 video recording is included. A Vari-angle LCD ensures that you can still see the picture you're taking, even if you can't see the subject. With this handy screen, you never have to contort or crouch to capture the right shot again. Meanwhile, a self-cleaning sensor unit keeps dust out of your shots, even if you change lenses frequently.

The T3i was my first DSLR camera purchase. I make videos frequently so I bought it mostly for its recording capabilities. Coming from an HD camcorder, I was very surprised by both the video and audio quality this camera provided. The camera is very easy to use and provides excellent video and picture quality for its price. I would recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for a good entry point to DSLR camera technology. However, one thing I did not like about this camera was it did not allow me to set custom ISO and white balance while shooting video. To get these features, I had to install custom firmware. Except for this small issue, I am very happy with the T3i, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to take the next step in their video or photography work.
