A memory card is required but not included with this item. Please be sure to purchase a memory card that suits your needs.
The Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera Kit provides you with the T3i body and a Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS II lens. You'll be ready to shoot from day one with this set-up. Just charge the included LP-E8 battery pack and pop in an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card and you're ready to start making photos! And should you want to expand your selection of lenses for the T3i, all Canon EF and EF-S lenses are compatible.
The Rebel line of DSLR cameras has long been known as a value in photography, focusing on the advanced amateur, student, and all those looking to go beyond what their point-and-shoot lets them do, to stretch and test the limits of their creativity; all while not breaking the bank.
With an 18MP CMOS (APS-C) sensor and Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor the T3i captures beautiful, high resloution 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 12,800. 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.
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
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
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
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

I got my t3i a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. The camera is a workhorse, and anything any entry-level photographer will need for a while. The camera works extremely well in low-light when compared to the earlier rebels. The reason I bought the t3i over the t2i ultimately came down to the physical size of the camera. I had been using a t1i, and briefly used a t2i and I found my hands felt massively awkward when gripping these cameras. However, when I used my buddy's t3i I immediately noticed a size difference and comfort improvement. I thought, "well, if I am going to be shooting thousands of photos with this camera, why not spend the extra bucks and be comfortable shooting." The vari-screen is nice, but to be honest, it is sometimes awkward and counter-intuitive in the way it flips and rotates--takes some getting used to. However, it is nice that you can easily protect the LCD whenever you want. A super-nice thing when transporting the camera a lot-which I do.
Overall great buy.

I own a Canon 7D and use it 100% for video purposes. I got the T3i as my backup camera, for cutaways and things like that...
It's perfect. You honestly can't even tell which is the 7D and which is the T3i when it's all edited together.
I picked the T3i over the T2i simply for the rotating screen.
As far as my gripe for it goes...the most frustrating thing so far has been matching white balance.
There is NO Kelvin Meter on the T3i. So, on a lot of shoots when everyones matching white balance and tell you to put it on a specific white balance, you can't really do that.
So I'm always left having to do custom white balance on something nearby to match it up with my 7D.
And that's even off sometimes...so, that's sort of a nag.
Everything else is fine though.
The controls are easy. It's lightweight...it's a mini 7D. Less ISO Options, but overall No complaints other than the Kelvin meter.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera Kit:
I had a couple cameras as a kid and was really into photography (full disclosure: before the advent of digital cameras). After many years of pursuing other activities, I recently moved to a place where having a quality camera is a necessity. Being that my experience was a long time ago, I certainly don't consider myself a Photographer, capital P. I know how to do it and when I have a bit of time to set up the right settings, I can get artistic. But in a fast-moving, catch-what-you-can environment like I am living now (Africa), I might not always have the chance to set up each setting as I want it. The Rebel gives you the chance to switch quickly between "manual" modes and "automatic" (dummy) modes, so that when you want control, you have it quickly and easily, but when you don't want to think about aperture and just want to quickly shoot that interesting person dancing in the grass, you can set it and shoot.Also, if deciding between the T2i and the T3i, I have found for self-portraits with a friend at arms' length, it is a nice perk to have the ability to reverse the viewfinder and compose your own shot (when you can't/wouldn't give your camera to a passer-by). The price differential is $ and this alone has been worth it.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera Kit:
I use this as a third video camera for shooting weddings and I absolutely love it for the close up shots where I need it for dramatic depth of field. The sound quality isn't great, but it does the job. Image quality is great, color contrast is amazing and the ISO allows me to shoot in a variety of lights.

wanted to do a photography course, but did not know which camera to buy, I indicated the T3i and I'm loving it! Easy to use, great photos, optimum resolution! Bought with the kit lens 18-55mm, but I regret not having bought another, 50mm f1.4, retratos.achei better for the battery has a good duration. One important detail to pay attention when buying filter to the lens, because the seller sold me one that does not fit, and not know anything, so I found out later.

I just love this camera. I've bought so many accessories for it already I just can't get enough. For me being used to using a Canon 40D. It truly holds it's own. Easy to use for beginners to pros. Love shooting sports shots and videos alike. For me I'm down to just me in my department. I usually have a camera guy and a video guy present at press conferences. Now I can kill 2 birds with one stone. My only gripe is that there is no headphone jack while doing video and switching between video and photo mode is a pain. But over all I love this camera.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera Kit:
I had this camera for less than a week and it quit powering up most of the time and didn't recognize it had a lens attached when it did power up. It's on its way back to B&H right now who will be sending a replacement. Until it failed, it was taking some beautiful pictures. The higher ISO ranges are amazing- the picture quality is still great. I think that in general the Japanese-made Canon cameras are higher quality than the [*]-made cameras such as the T3i; perhaps if this camera had been made in Japan, it wouldn't have failed.

I will say that there are a lot of different options to this camera and in the 2 months of me owning it, I am still learning something new every day!
