a breif comparison:
picture quality- both of them does wonders n there is nothing much to notice between them...
build -no doubt about it that nikon beats canon in this respect, canon is lil plasticky
controls- canon leads here with much simpler and good ergonomics.

however ,nikon provides a guide mode which make the things bit easier but i dont ...

The EOS Rebel T3, or 1100D, is definitely a better product than it's predecessor, EOS 1000D, in the entry level DSLR segment. 12 Megapixel sensor in it seems to be as good as Canon EOS XSi/450D. The previous 7-point AF system has also been upgraded to Canon's standard 9-point system. The camera features HD Movie Recording capabilities @ 720p which were absent on its predecessor.

EOS T3 / 1100D manages to hit a respectably low price point, comfortably undercutting its major rival, the Nikon D...

Pros:
# Decent resolution and detail at base ISO
# Consistently reliable metering and good AF accuracy
# Useful highlight tone priority mode
# Intuitive user interface
# Beginner-friendly 'Basic ' control Screens
# On-screen Q-Menu offers good access to shooting settings
# Good battery life
# Comprehensive software bundle
# Attractive price point

Cons:
* Plastic body has a cheap feel to it, no rubberized grips
* Very simple video mode (no manual controls, only one resolution setting...

Hi,
I placed an order on the 24th of October , was given a date of 4th for delivery! Was really excited and hence was tracking the delivery from day 1 ! Received it 1 day earlier than committed , good stuff Flipkart. Also, excellent packaging for such a fragile product .

As usual the Nikon v/s Canon dilemma took most of my time in deciding. But since I had a Canon cam which lasted for ages literally, I was biased towards Canon.I read a lot of reviews before zooming in on 1100D . People gener...

I do not have a great knowledge on cameras. But I purchased this one after some research on the net. I must say that it was one of the best decisions I made.

The picture quality and clarity is amazing. It is very easy to use even for a first timer with SLRs (like me). You do not need a guide book to know what are the various options that are there in the camera.

The great thing is I can ask any one to take a photo of mine by switching on the LCD display if they do not know how to use the ...

I'm not going to go into the tech specs and the pros and cons of the camera, a lot of other reviews on this site have done a much better than I can and the best place for a quality tech review is a tech website. This is just my experience with the camera and why I bought it.

Firstly, as the title says, it's a great deal. You get the 55-250 mm IS lens which much cheaper with this bundle than if you bought it separately and it's a great telephoto for a beginner. I have loved using this telepho...

before presenting review let me introduce to reader. at present I am running 72 years and I used so many camera since I was in class six. ist camera was a Kodak box camera, then Kodak due 620 with bellow which I used as an enlarger too, then I used a Russian 35 , followed by yashika reflex, followed by zenith 35 and then MINOLTA SLR. THEN CAME DIGITAL NIKON 15MP, followed by Kodak 15mp. photography is a matter of experience .one should understand the basic.
this camera though some people wr...

Excellent camera. Only difference between this and higher models is
1. Megapixels( Hardly matter)
2. Burst speed(3-8, depending on model)-matters for professional photographers like sports photographers who may miss the moment - but hardly for casual photographer
3. Less noise at higher ISO- most important feature,especially for low light photographers
4. Other differences are cosmetic: like ergonomic body, swivel screen, bigger,clearer LCD display- important for comfort, but not a killer fe...

This is the best DSLR for a beginner to learn photography. I have been using this for the last four months and i'm quiet satisfied with its performance. I have absolutely no complains about this camera and will recommend it to anyone buying his first DSLR. This camera has all the features to develop and bring out the photographer inside you if you have the will to learn this art. Here is a small list of pros and cons from my point of view:

PROS:
- Affordable
- Light Weight
- User Interface a...

The Canon EOS 1100D is a fantastic DSLR camera for beginners. The wide range for ISO Rating, Shutter Speed & Focal Length settings is great. So, this is a very good camera to start with if you are interested in good photography. You can learn professional photography & build up your interest on photography with this camera and then after a few years you can upgrade to a higher-end model if you feel like.

The best part was the deal given by Flipkart during the Diwali sale in Oct 2013. Just th...
