This camera is a replacement for its Rebel T2i. Some of the great new features include a variable angle flip out LCD monitor for shooting at a variety of angles and higher ISO range.
The camera's low light shooting capability enables you to achieve clear, natural images in darker conditions, with an ISO range of 100-6400 that can be further expanded to 12800.
The T3i can shoot up to 3.7 frames per second (fps) shooting at speeds of up to 1/4000 sec.
With a range of automatic shooting modes, even beginners will be able to capture full HD 1080P video instantly, thanks to a Feature Guide as part of the user interface that helps you develop your basic photo knowledge and skills.

The EOS Rebel T3i features a bright, high resolution, flip-out Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor for shooting at a variety of angles. By simply rotating the monitor, you can hold the camera directly overhead for above-the-crowd shots at concerts, or hold the camera at a low angle for kids and pets. By rotating the LCD monitor fully, the EOS Rebel T3i becomes the ideal camera for self-portraits.
The Basic + Function modes allow even the novice photographer to use the basic automatic camera settings to make adjustments to the scenes ambience such as vivid, soft, warm and several other levels. This is a step up from point and shoot cameras and meant for the beginning photographer.
- The Soft Focus effect filter helps dramatize an image and smooth over shiny reflections.
- The Grainy Black and White filter can give a different nostalgic perspective to any shot.
- Canon's Toy Camera filter deliberately adds vignetting and color shift for a creative option when shooting a colorful scene.
- Users can also make a scene appear like a small-scale model, simulating the look from a tilt-shift lens, with Canon is Miniature Effect filter, great when shooting any scene from a high vantage point.
I would say that the T3i is a great stepping stone for photographers that want to get away from simple point and shoot cameras. It's one that allows them to get away from the full-program mode of these simple cameras and give them some creativity, yet not overwhelm them with too much info at once. This camera keeps it simple, yet allows one to opt for shutter speed, aperture settings and advance their photographic skills without breaking the bank.
