What People Are Saying:
Most critics like the image and video quality on the Canon EOS Rebel T3, but many say it's good but it's not the best entry-level DSLR available. However, Consumer Reports named it a Best Buy in 2012, calling its viewfinder excellent and rating it very good for image and video quality, flash photos and ease of use, but only good (a relatively mediocre ranking) for LCD quality.- CNET: "The good: Unsurprisingly, the Canon EOS Rebel T3 delivers excellent photo quality. The bad: Average performance, a nothing-but-the-basics feature set and claustrophobic viewfinder leave the camera an uninspiring shooter. The bottom line: Though it's a perfectly fine entry-level camera, there are better options for the money than the Canon EOS Rebel T3."
- Imaging-Resource.com: "(T)he Canon T3 offers good image quality, a friendly design, and excellent battery life. Although its burst-shooting capabilities don't match the best-in-class, and has a few omissions such as dust removal and spot metering, these are fairly easy to overlook given the entry-level pricetag. In all, a fairly easy recommendation for the first-time SLR buyer."
- PCMag.com: "Pros: Very fast. Good low-light performance. Cons: Body feels underbuilt. Similarly priced Micro Four Thirds cameras offer better performance in smaller bodies. Live View LCD suffers from painfully slow focus. Poor focusing in movie mode. Bottom line: The Canon EOS Rebel T3 is a decent entry-level D-SLR, but spending just a little more can get you a better-performing compact interchangeable lens camera with a smaller build."
