just get it on a good sale since the t3i is coming out...this camera is perfect. i just wish the lenses were a little cheaper. the video quality is great, and importing the files is very easy. Make sure you get a good sd card for it
I bought this camera during the Christmas season, mostly due to my previous experience with Canon Rebel cameras, plus the price. I am glad I did!I have always been a fan of SLR cameras, because what you see is truly what you get--no guess work. I love the professional quality of the images it makes, and I have been filling up SD cards with great pictures. Get this camera; you'll be glad you did!
You can do more with this camera than any other for the price. It matches the Camera 7D in video shooting quality and for thousands of dollars cheaper... While there are differences in the camera functionality, for me what mattered more was to be able to shoot video with high quality lenses. If you invest in good Canon lenses, you will not regret it. And certainly, from buying this camera to start with, you'll be able to spend more on lenses anyway! Great manual controls, superb still photos, and easy to use interface. Highly recommended.
Great camera, I love it! I stood on a chair to make myself taller in order to take this photo. In order for the camera to take this this shot you need to stand back a little back. I had the extended lens on so I could zoom it closer. Well, you can see the result.
