Remember the Essentials
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 W/EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens gives you all you need to start taking great pictures right out of the box. Charge the included battery pack, put in an SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory card and start shooting! The 18-135mm lens is equivalent to 29-216mm in 35mm format, so you get a wide range, from real wide angle to a true telephoto focal length and high-quality optics. When you're ready to add another lens, it's great to know that the T3i is compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses.
The T3i captures beautiful, high resolution JPEG, RAW, and RAW+JPEG images, using an 18MP CMOS (APS-C) sensor and Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor. It also records dazzling full HD video at 1920 x 1080 at 30/24/25fps. The wide range of compatible lenses, manual exposure control, and the camera's dedicated live view give you the flexibility you need to create spectacular HD movies.
The T3i has a vari-angle 3" Clear View LCD monitor that flips out and is adjustable at a variety of angles for shooting and reviewing your photos and videos, as well as 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 superb, accurate exposures, including low-light situations. The T3i also features an in-camera flash and the option to connect a flash--it's Speedlite-compatible. The 100-6400 ISO rating is expandable up to an amazing 12,800. Using this setting with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer can produce incredible low light shots.
The T3i also features a number of modes that allow you to simplify your shooting 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.
- 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 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

I LOVE my Canon T3i. I'm an author by career, but have always loved the art of photography and do blend the two when I can.
The Canon T3i is my first DSLR after using point and shoots and my iPhone for too long since my old SLR got put on the shelf. The T3i was recommended by a fashion photographer friend who's son, a filmmaker, has the T3i. The image quality is amazing with 18 megapixels, once I learned my way around the menus and got the hang of everything, it became really easy to get great shots. I've used the swivel screen more times than you'd think - an incredibly handy feature, especially when you're using the self timer since you can see the shot setup in the screen when turned 180. My only cons are what everyone else is saying - the a/f is a little noisy and it can take a bit too long to focus. I've been doing a lot of low-light shots and will say the quality is great, once you can get it to focus. A few times I converted to manual instead. Still, I love this camera - for the price, it's amazing.
Personally, I find the battery to last a long time and I do like the stabilization feature, as I'm sure it's made a difference in the low light situations.
As for the video - I've only done a little so far but plan on doing a lot more with it.

Item arrived defective. Right out of the box, I mounted the lens to the body taking care to point the body downwards to avoid getting dust onto the sensor. Done in a clean envoronment (not dusty warehouse, etc..). Unfortunately, images had dark spots on them. Spots were only visible when taken using long exposures. The best way to reproduce it is to set it to shutter priority mode, set to 1 sec exposure, focus on a white wall, then take a photo while deliberately sweeping the camera slowly across the white wall.
There will be multiple black spots which will be in focus. Since the shot was taken while sweeping across a wall, the image should be blurred. The fact that the spots are in focus indicate that there's dust/blemish on the sensor!!
B&H exchanged the item for me. Received my second camera kit and had same issue. B&H exchanged it yet again. Received my 3rd camera kit and it had the same issue.
B&H agreed that I should send to Canon for a cleaning and if it didn't solve the issue, they will exchange it for me (yet again).
Sent it in to Canon for a cleaning. Even after professionally cleaning it, it still had spots.
Called B&H for an exchange and was given the option to exchange or get a refund. I opted for an exchange. I was then passed on to a supervisor and was denied the option to exchange (which was available 5 minutes prior, and agreed upon before the camera was sent to Canon for cleaning).
I have since cleaned it myself and have been able to get rid of the spots. Bottom line, 3 out of 3 NEW camera kits had dirty sensors right out of the box. Unacceptable.
Camera itself takes excellent photos.
I have had another issue with the kit lens (18-135mm IS). The barrel is loose and extends/retracts by gravity alone. Just pointing it downward/upward to take photos at an angle will cause the lens to extend/retract.
I've only had this 3rd camera a couple of months (about 1,000 shots), and it has already been to the Canon service center twice. Once for the cleaning and the second to get the barrel tightened.
All in all, the camera takes superb photos. But the nice photos do not outweigh the problems you will get with this camera. I bought the camera 5 months ago and only have had posession of it for about 2 months. The rest of the time it is either sitting on a UPS truck or at a repair center.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera W/EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
I learned photography when I was 16 on a Canon AV-1. (And it still works great, 32 years later!) So when it came time to change to dslr after having used several brands of high-end digital point & shoot, I chose Canon again. I hope to have the same relationship with the new Canon as I have with the old one.
Four weeks later, the relationship is progressing nicely. The camera is easy to understand, and it feels great in my hands. The 18-135 has been a great walk-around all-purpose lens. I've done a lot of nature work and one group portrait shoot in the past few weeks with great results. I've also done an all-important bereavement shoot, and the camera performed better than I could have hoped. I had to do NO post-processing at all, and that's what true photography is all about. The camera sees what I see and records what I want recorded. We're becoming very, very good friends, and that's exactly what I was hoping for when I chose it. I'm thrilled with it.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera W/EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
It took me a bit to get used to the menu function, but after I read through the menu and played around with it I am becoming a pro. Love the pics and I love the wide lens with the capability to also zoom to 135. That's a really good lens for the work I do, which is often close up but sometimes I need to get something a bit further away.
The macro function has been a bit hard to figure out; maybe I just need to get a lens to do it, though.
It's a little loud; dunno if I can turn off the "shutter" sound or not (I'm a journalist and like to be unobtrusive if possible)
I don't love the foldout LCD. I'd like it better if it was just in the camera instead of a foldout.
I have yet to try video with it, which is one of the reasons I got it, so we'll see. I'm going to have to jury rig some audio getup which is why it's taking me a while to get around to that.

I have since cleaned it myself and have been able to get rid of the spots. Bottom line, 3 out of 3 NEW camera kits had dirty sensors right out of the box. Unacceptable.
Camera itself takes excellent photos.
I have had another issue with the kit lens (18-135mm IS). The barrel is loose and extends/retracts by gravity alone. Just pointing it downward/upward to take photos at an angle will cause the lens to extend/retract.
I've only had this 3rd camera a couple of months (about 1,000 shots), and it has already been to the Canon service center twice. Once for the cleaning and the second to get the barrel tightened.
All in all, the camera takes superb photos. But the nice photos do not outweigh the problems you will get with this camera. I bought the camera 5 months ago and only have had posession of it for about 2 months. The rest of the time it is either sitting on a UPS truck or at a repair center.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera W/EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
I used the camera and lens in the days following the purchase. I had a nice surprise for the quality of the images obtained. I liked the colors, contrast, sharpness of the photos. The pictures were really beautiful, without making many adjustments. I really liked and have not explored everything it has to offer.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera W/EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
We wanted a product that was simple but had the added features that this unit offers. At first we were a little anxious but the more we used the carmera the easier it became. The quality of the images are really good and down loading them to our computer is a snap.
Charged the battery when we got the camera and have not had to recharge it since. Good battery life.
We look forward to using the camera on our next trip to Yosemite National Park. Hope to really exercise all the featurs this unit allows.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital Camera W/EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
The camera with my lens is an inseparable whole as far as I am concerned. It fits every desire I had when I bought it. I can more than adequately take landscape, portrait and night shots. I am so excited about my EOS Rebel T3i that I can't wait to use it. It is also a great fit for my MacBook Pro.
I have only used the automatic settings and some of the menu items, but I find them easy to use and the result is a great picture.
There is, however, a great deal to learn. Having said this, one would expect to have to learn a great deal if one wants great memories and quality slide shows and movies.
