The Canon EOS Rebel T3 18-55mm IS II Kit puts the popular Rebel, along with an 18-55mm EF-S lens, in your hands. You'll be shooting from day one with this value-minded kit - going beyond what your point-and-shoot allows, making your creative ideas a reality. Just remember to first charge the included lithium-ion battery and pop in an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card and you'll be ready to roll. What's more, the T3 can be used with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses - expanding your options throughout the line-up.
The T3 has a 12.2MP CMOS (APS-C) sensor and Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor - providing you with high quality JPEG and RAW images. Features like 100-6400 ISO, the 9 point AF system, and the 63 zone dual layer metering system help to capture detailed and lush images in any situation. Of course the 2.7" LCD doesn't hurt either - infact, the LCD provides a brillant display on which to compose and relive your shots. The camera also has a viewfinder for more precise image making.
In addition to taking great photographs the T3 also records great movies! The camera captures 1280 x 720/30p/25p video. Add videos to your Facebook or work on your HD DSLR video short, whatever your goal, this is definitely one tool that's expected on most DSLR cameras these days.
The T3 also features a number of shooting controls designed to make using the camera hassle-free. Functions like Basic+, Quick Setting, and Creative Auto all work to take the guesswork out of photography. Additionally, Quick Control and the feature guide make operation of the camera and its function a no-brainer.
Live View Function
Live View Function enables you to view your subjects directly on the huge 2.7" LCD monitor. It's easy to magnify any part of the scene 5x or 10x for precise manual focus. And now, there are two ways to use Autofocus along with Live View Function in the EOS Rebel T3. You can even choose a grid overlay, perfect for keeping straight lines in your subject straight in your pictures. In the studio, Live View Function can be used remotely via a computer through the EOS Rebel T3 DSLR's USB connection
Shoot by ambience selection:
Based on the picture style and its parameters (sharpness, contrast, saturation, and color tone), the exposure compensation and white balance correction are adjusted to attain the selected ambience. You can also select the strength of the ambience effect
Shoot by lighting or scene type:
Although the actual parameter set is the white balance, the settings are expressed in more understandable terms
The EOS Rebel T3 DSLR's Quick Control screen gives you instant access to the most common settings, all in one place! It's a great way to quickly confirm or change settings while you're shooting. The Quick Control screen is particularly useful when you're shooting from a tripod or monopod, with the camera at eye level, because it eliminates the need to view the LCD data panel on top of the camera while changing settings
For beginners looking to expand their photographic horizons, the EOS Rebel T3 offers Creative Auto mode. While basic settings are based on full automatic operation, shooting guides on the LCD screen enable you to make corrections based on simple to follow guidelines. In essence, with Creative Auto mode, you can learn about photography while taking stunning photographs
Additionally, the EOS Rebel T3 is compatible with Eye-Fi SD cards, which are outfitted with a Wi-Fi transmitter (IEEE 802.11b/g) and internal antenna for wireless, high-speed transfer of images. With an Eye-Fi card installed, the EOS Rebel T3 can display the Eye-Fi's connection status and error notes with ease, for fully functional wireless uploading of images directly from the camera

Bought the refurbished T3 with 18-55mm lens kit, the camera that showed up here was brand new as far as I could tell. That's my plug for B&H.
The camera itself is a very entry level DSLR, that shows with the all plastic construction and lack of some bells and whistles.
Functionally it's an absolutely fine piece of gear and I have no regrets whatsoever about buying it.
The kit lens is a kit lens. Functional, but not going to cause you to pass out with it's superior quality.

The website offered with the reasonable price product and a lot cheaper than regular retail store. The website providing with tracking number made me more relieve from getting the product. I would use this online store more often.
The product is suit to beginner photographer. It's easy to use, not to much complex, but wish there were more function for who wants to advance their skills. But overall, I satisfy with the product.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3 Digital Camera and 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit:
My first entry-level camera, and loving it so far. I was picking between this and Nikon D3100, but the Nikon was too small in my hands. I don't have extremely big hands so I recommend picking up each camera and holding it if you're considering just between those two.
The shots have a 3D sort of quality to them and look lovely!
I have to give it more research but I'm having trouble with the video staying in focus on moving objects. Once focus is set it doesn't adjust well. Still working on that.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3 Digital Camera and 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit:
I wish it had external audio inputs for microphones, to do interviews for school web media. Very sharp pictures and great HD video almost as good as our very expensive Panasonic P2 Broadcast Video Cameras.
Works well with final cut pro 7 and studio 3.
Sound is the only issue with the camera, needs external hook ups.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3 Digital Camera and 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit:
This is my first ever digital SLR. I stopped using my film SLR about ten years ago and have been using mid-range point and shoot digital cameras ever since. The EOS Rebel T3 is really easy to use, even though I have little experience and the shots in low light are absolutely amazing. The relatively low price included the lens. I'm very happy with my purchase.

The T3 is extremely easy to use and takes amazing pictures. The clarity and detail it has is better than and point and shoot camera and it is hard to imagjne that pictures can look any better. The only thing that wasnt as quicklyto come by as any other mode was he video mode but even that was a quick fix. I highly recommend this set up and camera to anyone who is a hobbyist photographer who wants a little more interaction in taking pictures on another level.

I am a brand new photographer enrolling in school and just starting to build up my equiptment aresanal. I needed a DSLR that I could start out with - and this certainly does the trick. Even as a newbee I learned very quickly that the next thing I purchase will be a new lens - The one that comes with the kit is bare bones and as I take pictures of my 2 yr old daughter I realize the zoom isn't what I'd like ( you have to sneak up on the 2 yr old crowd lol).

This camera is designed well and once you go over and learn the features, it is easy and intuitive to use. The lens works great for cropping and focusing. I had people tell me that my photos look like paintings. I have not found a negative and the fact that it is larger than a pocket sized digital point and shoot, is just a fact and not a problem: what you get is worth it, photos that are not warped or skewed.
