If you did not have a SLR camera, then you may soon be impressed by all the buttons and settings. But do not worry. You get used to it. The EOS Rebel T3i, like its predecessors, a simple menu structure. Without problems you switch between shooting modes and shooting combined with the super bright LCD screen, is not a complicated process. The tilting screen is a plus. There were photographers who used to be wondering the usefulness of such rotating screen wondering, it’s almost a must now. Shooting from difficult angles is a lot easier.

Since two weeks i have this camera with the EF-S 18-55MM IS and the EF-S 55-250 mm, at first hesitated between the Nikon D3100 and Canon 550D, and it is the T3i, because I really like the  tilting screen, i find it useful and protected while the camera is easy to handle. The camera is light and produces sharp pictures in natural colors with telephoto lens. Definitely a must. Read more reviews at Amazon

After a holiday where I’ve shot about 1800 photos, I can only say that this is a fantastic camera.
The photos are very sharp and pure color. This despite the sharp light.
The videos, even in dark surroundings have fantastic sharpness and noise. The tilting screen is useful for difficult situations, but I prefer to shoot through the viewfinder. With my fast SD card (30mb 16GB Extreme Class 10) is the transfer very quickly.

For me a great camera, so I appreciate it for the second time. Read more reviews at Amazon
