Canon Rebel T3i / EOS 600D Review

The REBEL on the Move.
Photographers looking for an easy-to-use camera that will help them create their next masterpiece need look no further than the Canon EOS Rebel T3i. The next in a long line of phenomenal compact DSLRs, the EOS Rebel T3i continues the Rebel tradition of easy operation, compact design and no-compromise performance. Featuring Canon's newest DIGIC 4 Image Processor and an 18.0 Megapixel CMOS Image Sensor - plus cutting-edge technologies like Full HD video recording, Live View shooting, Wireless flash photography and even a Vari-angle 3.0-inch LCD monitor - the EOS Rebel T3i offers the best of EOS photography in a compact package.

Since its introduction back to Canon "Digital Rebel" in its original August 2003 - known as the first "affordable" digital SLR - the company has continually developed and refined entry-level it matches the release of ever more frequently, adding more features and more in the process. So true to form, almost exactly one year until the day after the T2i life EOS Rebel / 550D Canon launched its next model, predictably named T3i EOS Rebel / 600D. As usual in the 550D is Canon's range with a lower rate, with grooves EOS 1100D below to round out the company's services for entry-level DSLR users.

The new kid on the block can be the most concise description as a 550D with a hinged screen, it also incorporates many features friendly to the beginner we first saw on many EOS 60D oriented enthusiasts. Perhaps the most notable of these is the basic '+', a simple, results-oriented approach to adjust the image in the methods exposed on the scene, allowing the user to change the console Their photos and fuzzy control platform without having to know anything about this technique works both ways. The 600D also has the advantage of shooting percentage (point of living) plus the 60D 'Creation of filters on a variety of effects can be applied to images after capture, including toy cameras , ankle and looks fake-miniature. Also it can now wirelessly control off camera flashes, including 270EX II Speedlite 320EX and published with it.

According to Canon, this mode (as its name might suggest) this is a scene in front of the camera and the exposure of its analysis and image processing parameters to suit, and even adjust color output to match. subject 'beginner friendly "Continuing, the camera now also incorporates a' Feature Guide," which displays a short explanation of what each function does on screen to help novices first learn how things work.

There is a movie mode attractive 'Video Snapshot' too, which is borrowed from a variety of Canon cameras. This is based on the idea that film is quite interesting to be stitched together from a number of short 'yes', rather than a continuous clip. Thus, the limit for the short film of the second 2, 4 or 8, then play them back like a movie sequence synthesis, with the option to add a soundtrack to help force them together. This, in effect, allows you to produce complex, multi-make the movie without having to resort to computer editing.

What has not changed at all, however, is the main technical characteristics of the camera, making camera 600D first in line that did not achieve a higher resolution sensor than or new processor . So, Canon has tried-and-trusted 18MP APS-C CMOS sensor remains in place, along with the scope of their sensitivity to ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12,800) and 3.9fps shooting continuous. Similarly, automatic 9-point autofocus and metering system 63 does not change the area. This means that the 600D is not to bring any surprises about the image quality.

Film camera on the front retains the approach of its predecessor, too, offers full HD recording via a dedicated position mode dial on the camera with full manual control available for those who want it. There is a new feature digital zoom, providing 3 - 10x magnification, and 600D can also control the level of integrated audio recording, a stereo meter to help determine the correct settings.

High Resolution Still Capture.

The EOS Rebel T3i has an 18.0 Megapixel CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor that captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers more than enough resolution for big enlargements or crops. This first-class sensor features many of the same new technologies as used by professional Canon cameras to maximize each pixel's light-gathering efficiency. Its APS-C size sensor creates an effective 1.6x field of view (compared to 35mm format).

DIGIC 4 Image Processor
The Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor dramatically speeds up the entire EOS Rebel T3i DSLR's camera operations for intuitive operation and offers improvements in both fine detail and natural color reproduction. It works in concert with the EOS Rebel T3i DSLR's CMOS Image Sensor to achieve phenomenal levels of performance in nearly any situation.
