Body weight is 18.2 oz without a lens attached. The camera is powered by a rechargeable Canon LP-E8 battery. Maximum continuous shooting speed is 3.7 fps, which compares favorably with the competition. The pop-up flash provides a wide enough coverage area to properly illuminate subjects with the kit lens attached, plus it serves as the wireless trigger for off-camera flash control with Canon Speedlites. So when you’re letting the camera determine the focus for the shot, it has a wide area of coverage with 9 sensors detecting objects in the frame. The center AF point is cross-type, and is the most sensitive of the group. When you look through the optical viewfinder, you see 9 autofocus points. Data is recorded to an SD card, and the camera is SDHC and SDXC compatible. The optical viewfinder provides 95 percent view, and the Vari-Angle 3-inch LCD shows 100 percent view with 1,040,000 dots of resolution. It can record images up to 5,184 x 3,456 pixels. Basic specificationsĪt the heart of the EOS T3i is an 18-megapixel APS-C sensor powered by a DIGIC 4 processor. So if you have a tighter budget, it’s great to have that option. The 18-55mm is still available as the kit lens, bringing the price down to less than $900. For about $1,200, you can have a versatile camera/lens combination that would serve most hobbyists quite well.
You can build an entire system around the T3i by purchasing additional lenses, but we encountered no problems handling common shooting situations with the kit18-135mm zoom lens.
