Remember the Essentials
A lens and a memory card are required but not included with this camera. Please be sure to purchase a lens and a memory card for this camera.
The Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera body puts the widely respected value and flexibility of the Rebel DSLR at your fingertips. Pair it with any Canon EF and EF-S lenses to create photographs that are uniquely your own. With an 18MP CMOS (APS-C) sensor and Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor the T3i captures beautiful, high resolution JPEG, RAW, and RAW+JPEG images to your choice of SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards.
The camera also records full HD .MOV video at 1920 x 1080/30p/24p, among other frame rate options. The wide range of compatible lenses and the camera's dedicated live view give you the flexibility you need to create wonderful HD DSLR movies.
No matter what you're recording - still images or vibrant video - the T3i provides you with a vari-angle 3.0" Clear View LCD monitor that flips-out and is adjustable at a variety of angles for shooting and review of your subject. The camera also features an eye-level viewfinder for more precise composition of shots.
Canon's 63 zone dual-layer sensor works with the 9 point AF system for excellent exposures by minimizing in-camera meter reading error. The system produces more accurate images even in low-lit settings. The T3i also features an in-camera flash or the option to connect a flash, and is Speedlite compatible. Another feature worth mentioning when it comes to exposure include the camera's 100-6400 ISO rating which is expandable up to 12800. Using this setting along with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer produces incredible low light shots.
In addition, the T3i features a number of user-friendly modes that allow the user to simplify their experience. Intelligent Auto mode, for example, takes the guesswork out of shooting by automatically setting 5 of the camera's technologies to create the optimum image. Other helpful shooting controls like Basic+ provides the user with 2 options for making creative photos like a pro. The ambience selection adjusts exposure and white balance to give your images a unique look and feel. When shooting by lighting or scene type, Basic+ creates artistic filters for the scene or gives it the feel that the viewer is focused on the center of the image. Of course, other shooting controls like the feature guide and quick control screen help to streamline your experience with the camera as well.
- 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" LCD monitor - the EOS Rebel T3i offers the best of EOS photography in a compact package
- High Resolution Still Capture
- The EOS Rebel T3i has an 18.0MP 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
- Amazing Results, No Matter the Light
- The EOS Rebel T3i features an expanded ISO range that makes shooting possible in situations previously unthinkable without flash. With an ISO rating up to 6400 (expandable to ISO 12800), along with the DIGIC 4 Image Processor's improved noise-reduction technology, creative possibilities abound. Combine the EOS Rebel T3i with one of Canon's EF or EF-S lenses with Optical Image Stabilizer and the shooting possibilities for both movies and stills expand even further
- HD Dreams Come True
-
The EOS Rebel T3i does not just shoot video clips, it offers the enhanced ease-of-use, image quality, smooth frame rates and adaptive exposure compensation necessary in a professional video-making tool by boasting the most advanced EOS video capturing features to date: When Full HD (1920 x 1080) is set, you can use Movie Digital Zoom to magnify the center of the image by 3-10x while at the same time maintaining gorgeous Canon Full HD image quality. With the Video Snapshot feature, the EOS Rebel T3i DSLR will capture short video clips (of 2, 4 or 8 seconds) then combine them automatically into one video file as a snapshot or highlights "album." With no editing needed after shooting, the compiled video is perfect for sharing online or displaying directly on an HDTV via the camera's HDMI port
In addition to a number of different recording size and frame rate modes, the EOS Rebel T3i enables easy manual control of exposure, focus and Live View features and even allows for in-camera editing. The large CMOS sensor and compatibility with over 60 lenses provide a wealth of depth-of-field options. And it's all as easy as the press of a button - the EOS Rebel T3i has a dedicated Live View/Movie Recording start/stop button that gets the shooting started fast
- Three Recording Sizes
- Full HD Video is captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution at 30p (29.97), 24p (23.976) or 25p frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. Videos are saved as .MOV files and can be viewed in Full HD with HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 720 (50p/60p (59.94) fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (30p (29.97) and 25p fps)
- Low Angles or High, a Big Vari-Angle LCD Captures All the Details
- The EOS Rebel T3i features a bright, high resolution, flip-out Vari-angle 3.0" 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 EOS Rebel T3i freely enables easy angle adjustments even if the camera is mounted on a tripod or has a battery grip attach
- Automatic Scene Analysis for Standout Color
- The EOS Rebel T3i DSLR's new Scene Intelligent Auto mode unites five Canon digital camera technologies - the new Picture Style Auto, plus Automatic Lighting Optimizer, Automatic White Balance, Autofocus, and Automatic Exposure -into a powerful new feature for photographers. Using the advanced EOS Scene Detection System, the camera automatically analyzes the image, taking into account faces, colors, brightness, movement and contrast. Scene Intelligent Auto then chooses the enhancing features to deliver maximum impact. Blues and greens are more vivid, "hot" colors are more fiery, and skin tones are smooth and truer to life
- Make Your Images As You See Them
-
Basic+ is a new creative imaging feature that makes it easy to create the image effects you want. It can be set with the Quick Control screen in Basic Zone modes. Basic+ provides two options:
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 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 Multi-Aspect Function of the EOS Rebel T3i lets you express an image in one of three ways by matching the aspect ratio to each scene. In addition to the camera's standard 3:2 ration, the Multi-Aspect Function includes a 1:1 ratio that creates the sensation that the viewer's gaze is focusing upon the center of the image. At the 4:3 ratio, you get nearly the same aspect ratio as a regular TV or a 4:3 computer display. The 16:9 aspect ratio provides a wide look, much the same as HDTV
The EOS Rebel T3i incorporates five in-camera Creative Filters so you can artistically manipulate scenes without the aid of an outside computer. Soft Focus lends a dreamy, romantic aspect, while Grainy Black and White gives a dramatically gritty, hard-bitten look. Miniature Effect creates an illusion in which expansive subjects are seemingly reduced to doll-house-like proportions, and Toy Camera Effect recreates the colors and softness rendered by cameras with a plastic lens, an effect often sought after by art photographers. Fish Eye Effect mimics the "Fisheye" lenses that are favorites of professional photographers for their quirky, convex perspective
- Intelligent Scene Analysis for Superb Exposure
- The EOS Rebel T3i features a sophisticated, 63 zone Dual-layer sensor designed to complement the 9-point AF system. By taking into account the color and luminosity surrounding chosen AF points, this system delivers an advanced level of accuracy for better results even in difficult lighting situations. Since the metering sensor has a color measurement function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by different light sources are minimized; the EOS Rebel T3i gives stable exposure from shot to shot in situations where light changes, such as in a theater or concert hall. This makes the EOS Rebel T3i ideal for scenes with extreme difference in brightness such as brightly lit scenes or backlit scenes; the camera balances exposure of the main subject at the background, and exposures are not overly influenced by bright areas in the shot. Since the EOS Rebel T3i provides high-speed X-sync ("X-sync" means the fastest shutter speed that can synchronize with a flash burst at the moment the shutter is fully released) up to 1/200 sec., the range of photographic expression is dramatically increased, allowing the EOS Rebel T3i to be used with confidence in bright scenes or dim
- Never Miss a Moment
- The EOS Rebel T3i can shoot up to 3.7 frames per second (fps) for up to approximately 6 consecutive RAW files or approximately 34 full-resolution JPEGs. Shooting at speeds of up to 1/4000 sec., the EOS Rebel T3i can capture even rapidly-unfolding scenes with ease
- Photography Made Truly Easy
- The Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR demystifies great photography by including an in-camera feature guide. Appearing on the camera's LCD, the feature guide displays a simple description or advice for the respective function. It is displayed in each shooting mode, during mode dial operations, and for quick control screen functions (during normal shooting, Live View shooting, movie shooting, and playback). The feature guide appears automatically during mode dial operations and when a function is selected on the quick control screen
- Flexible Storage with Memory Cards
-
The EOS Rebel T3i uses popular SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. Compact, inexpensive and available in increasingly large capacities, SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are a perfect complement to the EOS Rebel T3i DSLR's compact and lightweight body design
Additionally, the EOS Rebel T3i is compatible with Eye-Fi SD cards, which are outfitted with a Wi-Fi transmitter (IEEE 802.11b/g) and an internal antenna for wireless, high-speed transfer of images. With an Eye-Fi card installed, the EOS Rebel EOS Rebel T3i can display the Eye-Fi's connection status and error notes with ease, for fully functional wireless uploading of images directly from the camera
- EF Lenses
- The EOS Rebel T3i is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, including compact and lightweight EF-S lenses, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver outstanding performance and deliver beautiful results. Special technologies like the Canon Image Stabilizer technology in select lenses helps to minimize the effect of camera shake, effectively adding up to four stops of light. With a dizzying array of lenses perfect for travel, sports, still life and everything in between, photographers can truly maximize the quality and performance of their EOS Rebel T3i with superlative Canon optics
- Flash Photography
-
With a flash sync speed of 1/200 of a second, the EOS Rebel T3i also features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. With any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness. With E-TTL II, the exact same 35-zone metering sensor used for measuring ambient light is also used for flash metering - giving even finer metering command of the image area. If you prefer a broader area for flash metering, there's a menu setting to change to "Average" flash metering - where the entire 35-zone area is measured evenly for flash exposure. Additionally, the EOS Rebel T3i has a Speedlite transmitter built-in for convenient, full-featured wireless control of EX-series Speedlite flashes set as slave units
The Canon Speedlite 430EX II is the ideal step-up accessory for powerful flash shooting with the EOS Rebel T3i. It has excellent flash power (maximum guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100), and is the perfect way to get great flash pictures when you can't get right up to the subject. The 430EX II is also great for bounce flash, with its tilting and swiveling flash head. It automatically zooms the flash head to cover lenses ranging from 16mm up to 105mm or longer with the EOS Rebel T3i. Of course, it works with the camera to provide full E-TTL II automatic flash exposure. And the 430EX II has a powerful AF-assist beam, which allows the camera to autofocus even in total darkness on subjects as far as 32 ft. from the camera

"Rebel" says consumer camera. Uncle Bob or Aunt Sue's camera they picked up at the big box store and shoot on green-square auto with the kit lens and pop-up flash. Serious photographers don't use a Rebel. They use at least a 60D, right? If not a 7D or 5DII? That's what I thought, and it was with much skepticism that I ordered it here. For about the same price, I was deciding between a 60D, used 50D, even used 5DI. By all accounts, the sensor on the 7D is great, and I kept coming back to the fact that the T3i (and T2i and 60D) have the same one. If Canon hadn't neutered the 60D and taken off lens micro-adjustments and better body, that might have been the choice for the extra money. However, the differences between the 60D and T3i were pretty negligible, so the Rebel was the choice. (If the T2i could control external speedlights, that might have won out.) Anyway, the box came in the mail and in big bold red letters it practically shouted, REBEL. My long-awaited camera upgrade was to a .....Rebel? Sigh. But I opened it and have been blown away by the performance. This is a serious camera.
I had been using an Xti for 4+ years, and in good light with good lenses, it can take excellent photos. The T3i is better in every way. Faster, much better in low light, better screen, better features... The auto ISO (where you can set the max) and highlight tone priority in particular are very helpful.
I'm very happy I upgraded to the new Reb... ahem, to the T3i. Or better yet, the 600D. Yeah, that's it. I shoot with the 600D. And I love it.
Note: The 5-star review reflects the price of the camera. Would I rather have a 7D or 5DII? Absolutely. But they are 2x and 3x the price. For best bang-for-the buck, it's the T3i.

Pro's: takes images that are near quality to my EOS 7D, smaller body than a 7D, lighter than the 7D, good for a beginner photographer, the innards are quite good for the price when compared to the 7D, good to take on trips thanks to the weight and size.
Con's: seems flimsy and cheap, I would not want to drop this camera body, it's louder than my 7D, a bit slower at taking a shot, there is no handy toggle for browsing quickly.
I bought this as a back up camera, it will stay a back up camera. If the body were more sturdy, I would have liked it better.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera (Body Only):
I bought this camera after using a t2i for a while and saw that this really had some specs that just aren't there in the t2i. The first is the swivel screen. Coming from the camcorder world this was a feature that I was used to having and love having it. It also makes filming video way easier if you have it configured on a rig or if your just walking around filming. The next is the manual audio contro. Even though it doesn't have live audio meters, it is more than any of the other dslr's offer so thats good enough. Even though I do recommend getting either a Juicedlink preamp box.The photos that this camera produces are outstanding. For someone like myself who got this primarily for videos, taking pictures with this is easy and fun!Overall I say this is a great affordable camera, and for those of you deciding between this and the 60d, choose this and save the $ to get a nice lens.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera (Body Only):
I own a Canon 7D and find the Rebel T3i to be a highly capable complement to that camera. Light in weight and easy to shoot with, the Rebel T3i provides just about everything that a amateur to semi-pro could want in a camera—from low-light capability to 24p HD video.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera (Body Only):
This is my first DSLR after giving up my film SLR probably a decade ago. I use it for family pictures and general photography. The camera is wonderfully easy to use, with lots of ability. Controlling it is a learning process.
Pros:
- Lots of options that are easily accessible.
- Large display. Having aging eyes, I can still read and set most of the menus without my readers.
- Canon system- enough said.
- Lightweight- easy to carry around.
- Size- have a small 5.11 kit bag that holds the camera, Sigma 18-200 zoom, Canon 50mm lens, 320EX flash, Stroboframe folding flash bracket, and insundry accessories. Doesn't scream steal me.
- Images- WOW. Upgrading from a 6mp Lumix was very nice.
- RAW images- makes post processing easier. I no longer feel like I am fighting against the camera.
- Layout- Controls are laid out nicely. Swiveling display was a wonderful addition when I was composing from a tall tripod over a fenceline. Can close the display so it is not tempting me to chimp.
- Pop up flash has good power. I cut a strip of plastic from a milk jug, put it in very hot water and bent it to fit over the flash. Secure with rubber bands and you have a softer flash.
Cons:
- Noise at high ISO. Was happy with it's ability to image indoors without flash until I looked at the noise in the images with ISO > 2,000. I shouldn't have expected more, but now that I know, I will be much more careful about using AutoISO.
- Size (double edged sword)- Camera is a little small for my largish hands. Looking at getting the accessory battery pack.
- B&H makes it so easy to find all the great accessories for this camera that my budget went right out the window.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera (Body Only):
I really like this camera. I also have a Canon 40D and the ease of use of the T3i is just as good. The grip is comfortable. It feels balanced and well put together.
The image quality is very good, and I am very impressed with the video quality. Even the sound is good from the built in microphones. There are definitely some drawbacks to the video in terms of auto focus, so manual focus is a must, but it must be done using the LCD screen and it is difficult in bright light. The LCD screen resolution is amazing... bright and clear and sharp.
I would definitely recommend this camera. Buy a second battery though because the battery runs down quickly when shooting video.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera (Body Only):
I have owned past versions of Canon digital cameras SLR style D-30, D-60 and find it refreshing to have such high resolution and advanced features for such a reasonable price. The body is light weight therefore should be respected and not treated as if it were a Pro Body ready for the riggers of a rough and tumble life of a comercial photographer but it is very suitable for a serious photographer that will respect his equipment.

This camera has so many new features that it will
take a while to choose my favorites.I still can't believe that they all come at this price.I enjoy photographing flowers and landscapes and have already begun. The monitor is fantastic. It makes my old 6.3 MP Rebel feel as old as a covered wagon.My sincere thanks to tour rep who recommended it.The only thing it won't do is read my mind. come to think of it, it almost does. Many, many Thanks.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera (Body Only):
This is the second t3i I have purchased. I bought another one because I mainly use it for videography and for the price is an incredible camera. Video is very sharp. I am also a fan of the digital zoom feature you may loose some quality but up to about 4.5x still looks very sharp which for macro or telephoto wildlife shots may be the difference between you getting the shot and the animal running away.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera (Body Only):
I bought the camera body and then bought the lenses I knew I wanted and it's really perfect for the uses I have for it.
First of all I wanted a large adjustable lcd viewfinder because I'm now wearing bifocals and find it difficult to focust through the viewfinder. This one is beautiful. I can't wait to use it more.
I also wanted an 18-200mm zoom lens for travel. I had had one before with my last camera and it is all I need to carry with me. With the Image Stabilization in the lens it's takes wonderful pictures all of the time.
I then wanted a 50mm lens for photographing my artwork for reproduction and bought the EF 50mm 1:1.8 and it is working wonderfully.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera (Body Only):
I use this as a backup video camera for my 5D Mk II. It performs wonderfully and with a fast lens and a Fader Filter, delivers amazing HD footage with beautiful DoF. My only gripe is that it lacks the ability to tune in the color temperature like the 5D. Matching white balance on a 2 camera shoot needs to be done with the custom white balance feature for both cameras so they match. The flip out LCD is a terrific feature that allows me to monitor the action even when on a jib/crane without having to mount my 7in monitor. Overall an excellent product for the price. Won't comment on the audio since I only use the internal audio for reference.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera (Body Only):
I already had a 1D series camera, so the Rebel T3i was purchased primarily for its video capapbilities and not for still use. There is a magazine I write for that is beginning to incorporate video clips into online content, so I figured I should ride that wave from the beginning as well as have an updated backup camera.
After doing research, I purchased the Rebel T3i for its HD DSLR video capabilities at an entry-level price and I was not disappointed. It takes some practice and time, but the look of the HD video using Canon "L" lenses with image stabilization has been a pleasant surprise. I didn't care for the video's look when using the camera's program mode out of the box (too "camcordy" looking), but after manually changing the settings, the look is much improved. Being able to shoot HD video at a constant f4, f2.8 (or whatever you want) to seperate the background from the subject is a nice option. If you are not into using a tripod (which I don't when I am on the move covering stories), IS lenses will be a must. Too much jitter otherwise. I am also impressed by it's output at high ISO's. That has been a pleasant surprise for noise to not be much of an issue when shooting up to ISO 3200. We shot an event indoors with poor lighting and the video quality was still good.
As far as its still photography quality, the T3i is adequate for the job. Compared to a 1D series camera, it is not even close in terms of ability and shooting on the fly while changing settings, but that's not its target use, either. I would be able to make do with its photo capabilities if my 1D MkIII were to temporarily go down, but I would want that 1D back ASAP!
In summary, the T3i has nice HD video capability that looks very good with Canon's "L" lenses, especially those with IS. It is lightweight and has a good feel in the hand, but the battery life when filming video is only adequate, so get extra batteries and/or a battery grip. There are other more expensive Canon models that shoot HD video, but I believe I made the right choice as far as "bang for the buck."
