Third-party tests reveal that the longest focal length (135mm) on the Canon EF 28–135mm f/3.5–5.6 provides a considerably wider field of view than the 70–200mm f/2.8L mentioned above, which costs approximately 5 times more. This only reinforces the wisdom of choosing the 28–135mm as an excellent all-purpose lens for the amateur with a DSLR camera.
Other optical characteristics, such as vignetting, barrel distortion and pincushioning, chromatic aberrations and lens flare, are all rated within acceptable ranges and average for a lens of this type.

The Canon EOS Rebel lineup is loved by all Canon photographers. Many pros started their careers with these capable small cameras and many still use them as second cameras. The new flagship, the T5i, looks to be built using the same principles that made the series so popular. Check out our seven reasons why this little camera is a must have for amateurs and enthusiasts. Canon T6 is also a similar camera which can be carried around easily due to its small size with 18 megapixels sensor.
1. Great 18MP sensor
The camera's heart is an 18 megapixel APS-C sensor that produces impeccable image quality. The technology behind it is pretty much the same used by pro Canon cameras, with increased light-gathering efficiency. The resolution is high enough to allow for cropping and making large prints. See full specs and photos of camera here.
2. It's small
One of the best things about the T5i is that it makes a great walk-around camera. It's a small camera, but it's still a fully capable DSLR that will take any Canon EOS lens. It won't kill your arm or neck if you have to use it for a few hours and it won't sound the public alarm when you take it out of the bag.
3. Digic 5
Great image quality is not just the result of the image sensor, but also the image processor. The Digic 5 teams up with the sensor to produce incredible sharpness and a wide tonal range.
4. 14 bit A/D Conversion
The 14 bit conversion from analog to digital allows the Rebel T5i to capture realistic images. By recording 16,384 colors per channel, this little camera preserves details in skies and water, something that is a challenge for many higher class cameras.
5. Fast AF
If you look at the specs, seeing only 9 AF points might disappoint you. But all of the AF points are cross-type and one of them is a high precision dual-cross f/2.8 center point. That means the T5i will focus quickly and accurately no matter how you hold it. The AI Servo AF maintains consistent focus and the Hybrid CMOS AF allows for great AF in live view mode, for both stills and video.
6. Handheld night scene mode
The idea of carrying a tripod everywhere is not very fun but it will certainly cost you in most cases. The T5i however will let you get away with not having a tripod, thanks to its ingenious handheld night scene mode. It works by taking and combining four consecutive shots taken at shutter speeds fast enough to avoid camera shake. It basically makes shooting at night possible without other tools for stabilization.
7. It's great value
The T5i is one of those cameras that are just great value for the money. It might not have all the features of a professional camera, but it costs less than half and in the right hands, it's perfectly capable of producing similar results. For that and all the reasons above we highly recommend the Canon Rebel T5i.

from https://photographytalkcom.blogspot.com/2020/07/7-reasons-why-canon-rebel-t5i-is-cool.html
Just the other day I featured the Canon EOS Rebel T6i and T6s as two of the best entry-level cameras on the market today.
But although those cameras remain excellent choices, there’s soon to be a replacement for one or both bodies, a new entry-level competitor in the EOS Rebel T7. Canon T7i which has got high resolution of 24 megapixels has been already launched and seems like T7 would have same specifications.
The question is, when will it be introduced and what will its specifications be?
There is difficulty in answering both of those questions.
Release Date Keeps Getting Pushed Back
Regarding a release date, it has been expected several times, including at CES 2017 which has come and gone without any further details on this new camera.
Now, the rumor is that Canon will unveil the Rebel T7 at the CP+ Show which is slated for later this month.
Of course, the T7 has been rumored for quite some time now, so only time will tell if Canon actually reveals the T7 at CP+ or if we have to wait months and months for the reveal.
One thing that points to a CP+ reveal is that the T6i and T6s were released in February 2015. It would make sense, then, that the T7 would be unveiled this month in keeping with past release patterns from Canon.
Rumored Specifications
It’s equally tough to nail down many specs on the new Rebel T7 because there just hasn’t been a lot of worthy speculation thus far.
One thing we do know with reasonable certainty is that it will be offered with a new kit lens. That lens is rumored to be an EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM.
Apart from that, we have to use the specs from the T6i and T6s to try to determine the features that the T7 might have.
The T6i has a solid 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor. Paired with a DIGIC 6 processor, the camera produces nice images at high resolution with fast performance.
The T6s utilizes the same sensor and processor, so it’s safe to assume that the T7 will have a sensor that’s at least the same size with a processor that should be even faster. Look for a DIGIC 7 processor paired with a sensor that’s got at least 24-megapixels.
Both the T6i and T6s have a 1.04m-dot touchscreen, which folds out and articulates so you can shoot from odd angles. That’s a feature that’s bound to be on their successor, especially as touchscreens have become more ubiquitous, even on entry-level DSLRs. It’s reasonable to assume that the T7 will have a screen with even better resolution and improved performance in brightly lit situations.
Both cameras have solid HD video capabilities, as well as an ISO range that extends to 25600, a 5fps shooting rate, Wi-Fi, and NFC. Those features are sure to stay with the T7, with video and ISO improvements almost a guarantee, perhaps even to 4K.
The T6i has a 19-point autofocus system that offers hybrid performance. When you use live view (or shoot video), the system makes use of phase-detect and contrast-detect focusing at the same time. The result is a better and faster focusing experience that is sure to make its way into the T7.
It’s also safe to say that since the T6s has an LCD on the top of its body (shown above) that the T7 will likely get that same feature. That is, unless the T7 is intended only to replace the T6i while leaving the T6s alone for the time being. Again, there’s no concrete information to determine what Canon intends to do at this point.
Another possibility is that the T7 will sport in-body 5-axis image stabilization, a feature that would be quite welcome for entry-level cameras. Get more details on that (and a few other rumors about the T7/800D models) in the video below by Eric Rossi.
So, while the details of this new camera are short on specifics, we know what the T6i and T6s brought to the table: feature-packed cameras that took the entry-level market a step closer to the enthusiast realm of cameras.
Some think that the T7 will go even further - perhaps even into the mirrorless realm - though that is a complete rumor with absolutely no hard evidence to back it up.
But man, how cool would that be for Canon to make their top-end entry-level camera a mirrorless one?!
I guess we’ll just have to keep waiting for a couple of more weeks until CP+!
This article about "Canon EOS Rebel T7 DSLR Camera" was first published on our website here https://www.photographytalk.com/photography-articles/7298-get-ready-the-canon-eos-rebel-t7-is-coming from https://photographytalkcom.blogspot.com/2020/07/get-ready-canon-eos-rebel-t7-is-coming.html
1. Exciting Entry-Level DSLR.
If you’re like many hobbyist photographers who think they are ready to graduate from a point-to-shoot to a DSLR, then the Canon T3i/600D is waiting across that great divide with many easy-to-use features you need to enjoy and excel in the much bigger world of digital photography.
Read real customer reviews of the Canon EOS Rebel T3i/600D here.
2. Pixel Power.
The Canon EOS Rebel T3i faces down the competition with its 18-megapixel, APS-C-sized CMOS sensor. The Nikon D5100’s sensor is 16.2 MP, while the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2’s is even smaller, at 12.1 MP.
3. Vari-Angle Clear View LCD Screen.
A large three-inch Vari-Angle Clear View LCD screen is a first-time feature in any Canon Rebel DSLR. You’ll have a bright, clear view from any angle with 1,040,000 dot/VGA resolution and anti-reflective and smudge-resistant coatings. (The Nikon D5100 has 920,000 dots and the Panasonic competitor only 460,000.)
The concept behind the large Vari-Angle screen is to provide you with a greater “variety” of shooting angles. The tilt-and-swivel LCD extends 180 degrees from the camera body and swivels 270 degrees on its hinge. The versatility of this LCD creates more high- or low-angle opportunities in still pictures or full-HD video, makes self-portraits easier and allows it to retract to a secure position next to the camera body.
4. Viewfinder Standoff.
The Canon Rebel T3i and Nikon D5100 have penta-mirror viewfinders, but the Rebel provides a bit larger view. The Rebel’s viewfinder magnification is 0.85x compared to the D5100’s 0.78x. This specification as well as others results in only approximately a two-percent difference in actual viewfinder size between the two cameras.
The Rebel 3Ti does outperform the Nikon D5100 when it comes to aspect ratio options. The Rebel features a standard 3:2 ratio in live-view mode, and the added choices of 4:3, 16:9 and 1:1 ratios for either still images or video.
5. Improved Live View Capabilities.
The Nikon D5100 may have four Live View AF (auto-focus) modes and the Rebel T3i three, but the Nikon doesn’t include the Canon’s Quick Mode that uses phase detection for faster Live View focusing. Another “green light” feature of Canon’s Live View capabilities that will have you yelling, “Make mine a Rebel T3i,” is its 10x-magnification when using manual focus in Live View mode. Nikon’s is only 7.7x magnification. This is particularly helpful if you are new to DSLRs, as it will be easier to check focus.
6. HD Video Capture.
With full-HD video capture at 1920 x 1080 resolution in selectable frame rates of 24p, 25p or 30p, the EOS Rebel T3i offers the quality and versatility that even film students and independent filmmakers will like. A DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor and that large sensor are Canon proprietary technologies that capture fine detail and accurate color to create excellent HD video. The Rebel T3i DSLR offers three video recording modes: Full HD, HD in a 16:9 aspect ratio and Standard Definition (SD) in a 4:3 aspect ratio, all at selectable frame rates.
7. Video Snapshot.
Canon has applied some of the innovative technology from its VIXIA line of camcorders to create the new EOS Video Snapshot feature in the Rebel T3i DSLR. Canon achieved its goal of providing its customers with a video capability that is as easy as taking digital photos. You can now record a series of two-, four- or eight-second video clips automatically. The T3i then creates a continuous Video Snapshot Album with those clips…in the camera. You can then perform additional editing, either in the camera or with Canon’s Video Snapshot Task software, on a compatible personal computer.
8. Be More Creative.
If you like to be more creative with your camera, then the Rebel T3i DSLR includes various Creative Filter Effects, such as Toy Camera, Soft Focus, Miniature, Grainy Black and White and Fish Eye. You control these effects with the quick menu button, and then apply them to the RAW and JPEG files after the images have been recorded. Additional selections in this menu will allow you to protect, rotate, rate and resize your photos.
These are rather simple filters and are not a substitute for the broader capabilities of editing software, but you might find yourself in a situation where the Creative Filter Effects in the Canon Rebel T3i will be time savers.
9. Enhanced Flash Controls.
Another significant improvement in the Rebel T3i is the dual purpose of the pop-up flash. Of course, it primarily serves as an artificial light source, but it is also the first Rebel with an Integrated Speedlite Transmitter, so it can control as many as two groups of flashes directly from the camera. Beginners can take a smaller step into wireless flash photography with the “Easy Wireless” mode. On the Nikon D5100, this same capability requires an optional piece of equipment (you must spend more money!). This wireless flash technology on the Rebel may very well be one of the features that legitimize it as an “advanced” entry-level DSLR.
10. The Price Is Right.
The Canon EOS T3i Digital SLR camera body can be purchased for approximately $550, compared to the Nikon D5100 body at approximately $580. The Rebel also comes bundled in two kits with different Canon lenses: with the new EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS II zoom lens for approximately $600 and with the EF-S 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 IS zoom lens for approximately $900. Nikon offers the D5100 body bundled with its equivalent 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 lens for approximately $570. (These are online prices and may vary.)

from https://photographytalkcom.blogspot.com/2020/07/10-green-light-features-of-at-prove.html To be totally honest, Canon’s mid-March 2013 introduction of its new EOS Rebel T5i DSLR camera is a bit of a mystery, since the upgrades from 2012’s EOS Rebel T4i are relatively minor. For photographers new to DSLR photographer, however, the differences should prove to make them happy they waited until the Canon T5ibecame available before buying their first DSLR camera.
The new Rebel T5i has the same 18MP CMOS sensor; 9-point cross-type AF sensor with a high-precision, dual-cross f/2.8 point at center; 3-inch, 1,040,000-dot vari-angle touchscreen LCD; and Full-HD video as the Rebel T4i, as well as a number of other identical features and capabilities.
Want to see reviews from other photographers? Read them HERE on Amazon OR you can read reviews HERE on Adorama.
Canon was also wise to retain the Hybrid CMOS autofocus system from the Rebel T4i, which was a first for an EOS camera. With this much faster AF system, the T5i spends less time focus hunting and operates continuously for stills or video in Live View. Two-dimensional contrast detection in the AF’s cross-type points results in focusing that is more precise for virtually any composition or subject location within the frame.
You must look closely to notice any physical difference between the T5i and T4i. The exterior finish does gives the new Rebel a slightly more appealing and sophisticated appearance. The body of the T5i certainly comes complete with all the controls any photographer at this level would ever need. Canon did improve the mode dial, so it will rotate 360 degrees. The icons have been enlarged for easier viewing and slightly elevated from the surface, so they can be distinguished through your fingertips and in low light.
One of the “major” upgrades of the EOS Rebel T5i is a creative function. Canon’s “Creative Filter” effects can be seen and utilized while shooting instead of after an image has been captured. Not only is this preview and application capability new to the Rebel line in the T5i, but also matches a function that many competing models already have. Entry-level DSLR photographers will be able to determine in advance the final look of their photos and help them to be more creative during the shooting process.
What buyers of the Canon EOS Rebel T5i will also discover is that the camera is available in an optional bundle with a new EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM lens. “IS,” or Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer system, is an important asset for any photographer new to DSLR cameras and shooting in low light handheld. The IS system allows them to shoot at four shutter speeds slower, compensating for any camera shake and still producing sharp, clear images. “STM” refers to a stepping motor and focus mechanism that is particular useful during video recording, as it makes continuous autofocus (AF) much smoother and quieter.
The new 18–55mm lens is built with 13 elements in 11 groups, including one aspheric lens that minimizes chromatic aberration at any focal length. The lens will focus as close as 0.82 feet (0.25m) and has a 7-blade aperture to render a highly acceptably bokeh effect, or professional looking blurred backgrounds.
The new Canon EOS Rebel T5i is available for pre-order from Amazon, with an estimated release date of April 30, 2013.

This post about "Canon EOS Rebel T5i Camera" was first published on our website here https://www.photographytalk.com/photography-equipment-reviews/3269-canon-eos-rebel-t5i-new-model-with-refinements-for-the-entry-level-dslr-photographer from https://photographytalkcom.blogspot.com/2020/07/canon-eos-rebel-t5i-new-model-with.html Not much has leaked prior to the March 21, 2013 announce date of the new Canon EOS Rebel series, except that these will be smaller cameras than the existing Rebel bodies. The first model is to be known as the SL1. If you are looking for higher resolution camera then check Canon SL2 specs. Presumably, Canon is trying to capture the mirrorless camera buyers who would prefer a true DSLR, but can’t afford even an entry-level model.
The advanced scuttlebutt touts a newly developed 18-MP CMOS APS-C sensor and Canon’s exceptional and thoroughly proven DIGIC 5 image processor. This combination of sensor and processor is certain to provide an image quality that the people buying this camera have never previously experienced in the compact cameras with which they’ve been shooting.
The processor is sure to deliver speed in both continuous shooting mode and the autofocus system. For a camera that will be reportedly compact and lightweight, 4 fps will allow its owners to capture outstanding action sequences.
Canon has given the EOS Rebel SL1 a new Hybrid CMOS AF II 9-point system that includes a highly accurate dual-cross f/2.8 center point. The AF system includes phase-detection and contrast AF, providing superior speed and precision for both stills and video in Live View. An additional capability of the hybrid design is a wider focus area, so action captures are even easier.
Photographers new to the DSLR experience are likely to be amazed at how well the Rebel SL1 will shoot in low-light conditions, since the ISO range is a substantial 100–12,800 (expandable to H: 25,600) for stills and ISO 6,400 (expandable to H: 12,800) for videos.
Video is a fully capable system of 1080/30p/24p/25p Full HD as well as 720/60p and 480/50p. A Movie Servo AF that will provide continuous focus tracking of moving subjects and manual exposure control to enhance all recording modes even further. The new EOS Rebel SL1 also includes a full complement of video support functions: built-in monaural microphone, manual audio level adjustment and Video Snapshot with editing for expanded movie shooting options.
Those photographers wise enough to choose the new Rebel SL1 will have a larger display than might be expected. It is Canon’s 3” 1,040,000-dot Clear View Touch Screen LCD II that features a specialized coating resistant to smudges and fingerprints and a brightness level for viewing in strong outdoor light. Photographer will have easy touch control of most capabilities, including AF, so functionality is easy and doesn’t require much experience with this type of system. With an approximate 0.87 magnification, the optical viewfinder is certainly not the equivalent of a full-frame DSLR, but it will give beginner DSLR shooters all the view they need.
The new Canon EOS Rebel SL1 has a full complement of shooting and creative modes, so the inexperienced photographer can produce excellent results. The Scene Intelligent Auto Mode maximizes photo quality and easily detects scene details even in low-light situations. The advanced Creative Filters can be viewed in real time during Live View. Photographers can also utilize the advanced presets in the new Special Scene Modes for subjects, such as kids, food and candlelight, so images are clear and sharp.
The new Rebel EOS SL1 is compatible with SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, including new Ultra High Speed (UHS-I) cards and all of Canon’s EF and EF-S lenses.
The Rebel EOS SL1 Kit includes all the standard accessories, such as camera cover, strap, battery charger and battery pack.

Photographers ready to advance from a compact, or point-and-shoot, camera to their first DSLR will be happy with all the graduation gifts from the Canon EOS Rebel T3. It’s an affordable entry-level DSLR with just enough features and capabilities to guide the beginner to the next level of digital photography performance. Canon T3ioffers better features than this camera especially in terms of resolution.
Read real customer reviews of the EOS Rebel T3 DSLR here.
2. Photographers with little experience shooting a DSLR-and-lens combination handheld will immediately appreciate the image stabilization (IS) system built into the 18–55mm IS II zoom lens. Sharp and clear pictures are possible even under low-light conditions or at the extreme focal length of the lens. The IS system also helps the photographer capture action on video with little blurring.
3. The Canon EOS Rebel T3 is comfortable to hold and fits securely in the hand with the rubberized grip. Canon also made the buttons and dials of the exterior controls large and easily accessible, so photographers new to a DSLR will learn their locations and purposes quickly.
4. The shooting mode dial controls most camera functions with its 14 different optional settings. Program, aperture priority, shutter priority and manual modes for creativity; various subject-optimized shooting functions; and full auto and “creative” auto are selected from this single, large dial.
5. Press the Q button on the back plate to switch from the standard default setting to vivid, soft, intense, warm, cool, brighter, darker or monochrome.
6. The Rebel T3’s 12.2-megapixel APS-C-sized sensor produces excellent resolution for entry-level DSLR photographers, as they learn to expand their photography skills and experience.
7. Many compact camera users at this graduation ceremony will be familiar with optical viewfinders at the rear of a camera. The 2.7-inch, 230,000 dot viewfinder on the Rebel T3, however, is a step above average for an introductory DSLR. Not only is it big and sharp, and provides 95% coverage, but also it shares the same 63-zone metering system that can be found on Canon’s semi-pro DSLR, the EOS 7D.
8. Speed is certainly one of the gifts of a first-time DSLR; and the Rebel T3 reaches full power in just more than a second and is ready to shoot in another second. Memory is able to capture a full-resolution JPEG in approximately two seconds, an uncompressed RAW file in three.
9. Beginner photographers with their first DSLR want to shoot pictures without interruption. The rechargeable lithium-ion LP-E10 battery in the Rebel T3 has enough power at full charge to take 700 pictures. This is a major competitive advantage of this Canon camera.
10. The Canon EOS Rebel T3 also gives DSLR newcomers video capabilities that make it easy to improve their moviemaking skills too. The 720p video records at either 30 or 25 frames per second with a maximum clip length of 17 minutes, but that should be more than adequate for most photographers who purchase and use this camera.
11. Operating the movie mode in the Rebel T3 is quite simple and automatic. The mode is selected on the main shooting dial; and the LCD presents a Live View screen, which is shown in a 16:9 aspect ratio for movie recording.
12. Various functions control some aspects of video shooting before the record button is pushed. These include the option to compensate for exposure, and lock it into position; pre-selecting a picture style; and pre-focusing with a half press of the shutter release. Several auto-focus options are also available, including live mode, face detection live mode or quick mode.
13. The Rebel T3 connects to a flat-panel TV, with an option cable, via the camera’s HDMI port.
14. One of the greatest gifts of graduating from a compact to a Canon EOS Rebel T3 is entry into the Canon “club,” putting beginner photographers in an excellent position to graduate in the future to a more advanced Canon DSLR.
15. B&H Photo Video has a special offer on the Canon EOS Rebel T3 through January 7, 2012. Save $50.00 off the regular price of $499.99 for the camera and 18–55mm IS II zoom lens kit. Now only $449.99. Visit

Tell me if this sounds familiar:
You’ve taken up photography and found that it’s a little more difficult than you thought.
There’s A LOT to learn, not just about photography itself, but about all the gear that you need to buy to start building the skills you need to take improved photos.
The problem with photography gear is twofold: first, there’s a ton of choice, which can be extremely overwhelming, and two, it can be expensive.
So, in addition to mastering things like lighting and composition, one of the tasks of a beginning photographer is to find a camera that will grow along with you without breaking the bank.
I’d like to recommend the Canon T5i as one of the best cameras for beginning photographers.
Here’s why.
First, A few Specifications
Before we dive into the benefits of this camera, let’s explore a few of it’s primary specs:
The Canon T5i comes equipped with an 18 megapixel CMOS sensor, which is a bit of an old sensor but still gets the job done. Paired with Canon’s excellent DIGIC 5 image processor, the T5i creates solid images both quickly and efficiently. The camera’s ISO range extends from 100-12800, though when in H mode that range extends to 25600 for expanded low-light shooting capabilities, though ISO 800 is about the max before noise starts to become an issue.
This camera has a Hybrid CMOS AF system that enables fast and relatively accurate autofocus shooting. It’s quite silent too, so you can shoot sensitive subjects without disturbing them with a lot of noise. However, the phase detection autofocus system with 9 cross-type points is beginning to show its age. The fact that the AF points are extremely small in the viewfinder and difficult to see only complicates the issue.
Equipped with a 3-inch Vari-Angle Touchscreen with Clear View LCD technology, the camera gives you live view capabilities in many different lighting situations and shooting angles, ideal for creating more dynamic images and videos.
What’s more, with live view features and seven on-the-fly photo filters built in, you can get really creative with how you present your subjects. Being relatively small and lightweight (coming in at under 28 ounces with a battery and lens installed), the T5i is easy to maneuver to get the shots you want.
Super Simple User Interface
Far and away, one of the best features of the T5i is the manner in which you can manipulate the camera’s settings.
The touchscreen-based user interface is clean, well-organized, and simple to use - something that older menu-based systems can’t claim.
Everything from adjusting exposure settings to switching from one focus point to the next can be controlled with the touchscreen in short order, making it a highly intuitive method of navigating the camera’s essential settings.
What that means is that you can more quickly learn how to actually use the camera and spend more time taking photos than trying to remember what functions are in what menus! Blue Crane Digital shows us just how simple it is to use the T5i in the video above.
Great Features for Video
Something that some new photographers don’t understand at the outset is that by creating videos, you can help develop your creative eye for still photos.
After all, you still have to pay attention to things like lighting, framing, and composition when shooting video, and building those skills in that context will help you improve your still photos.
The Canon T5i has several features that make shooting video an easier task.
For starters, switching from stills to video is quick and simple, so, again, there’s no fumbling through multiple menus or fiddling with clunky buttons to try to change the shooting mode. It’s a simple matter of making the adjustment on the camera’s main control knob, which is easily reachable with your thumb as you have the camera gripped in your hand.
Additionally, the T5i has an articulating LCD, so you can frame up videos (and stills) from a very low perspective to capitalize on foreground interest or from a very high perspective to give viewers an alternative interpretation of the subject. The LCD is bright and easy to see, even when shooting in harsh lighting conditions, which furthers your ability to frame up the video or still shot with ease.
And though the T5i doesn’t have the frame rate as other models in the beginner space, it can shoot 1080p at 30 frames per second, which is more than sufficient for a budding photographer.
Editor Tip: See full specs and pre-owned pricing
Real-Time Image Preview
A very handy feature that beginners are sure to appreciate is the fact that the T5i gives you real-time image preview.
That’s significant because one of the hurdles of becoming a more skilled photographer is being able to understand how the manipulations you make to exposure settings (aperture, ISO, shutter speed) change the photo.
But with the T5i, understanding how those changes impact the image is simple because you get an immediate preview of what the photo looks like.
That makes the T5i an excellent learning partner for beginners!
Great Kit Lens
One of the best features of consumer-level DSLRs like the T5i is that you can buy them bundled with a kit lens.
Sometimes, those kit lenses aren’t the best in the world.
With the T5i, however, you get an EF-S 18-55 IS STM lens that offers extremely smooth autofocus performance both when shooting stills and videos. For video shooting, the lens’s autofocus performance is especially nice because it is virtually silent, meaning it won’t cause overwhelming background noise as it adjusts the focus while you shoot the video.
The lens also has built-in image stabilization which is a great feature for a beginner that’s handholding the camera as they shoot. You can get up to four additional f-stops of shooting range without image degradation, which will better enable you to get well-exposed images.
Now, this isn’t to say that this lens is the best one out there, but it’s a great piece of glass for a beginning photographer and offers plenty of reasons to enjoy your kit lens. What’s more, the T5i is compatible with EF and EF-S lenses, meaning it will work with all modern Canon lenses. Since Canon has an extensive line of lenses, that means you can easily pick up a new lens as your photography needs change.
Fast Operation
The T5i takes less than a second to power on, focus, and shoot. That’s a great time for an entry-level camera, and one that allows you to react quickly when a shot presents itself.
The benefit of this quick performance is that you can concentrate more on things like framing and composition and worry less about your camera getting itself ready to do what you want.
Just consider these numbers: if shooting in JPEG mode, you can fire off two images in just .3 seconds, and with a flash you can still get two shots in less than 1 second. In burst mode, the camera can operate at nearly 8 frames per second without any lag.
That’s a great benefit for a beginner that’s learning how to track and photograph subjects that are on the move, such as wildlife or even a kid’s sporting event. Again, because the camera doesn’t get in your way, you can work on building the skills to get the shot and worry less about what the camera is or isn’t doing.
Price
When it comes down to it, price is an overriding feature for many photographers, particularly those that are just starting out.
In that regard, to make your dollar stretch further, you can find used T5i camera bodies for well under $500. Then, you can use the money you save on the camera body to invest in other necessary accessories like a larger memory card, a camera bag, a nicer tripod, and so forth.
Additionally, since there are a plethora of lenses available for this camera, you can use the money you save to invest in a better lens, or get a second lens to complement the T5i’s kit lens.
In summary, there is plenty to like about the Canon T5i as a beginning photographer. The price is right, the selection of lenses is excellent, and the user interface is simple and easy to use and will help you learn to use the advanced functions of the camera.
Editor Tip: See full specs and pre-owned pricing
No matter if you want to shoot stills or shoot video, the T5i will be a good introductory camera for you. As stated above, though there are some drawbacks to this camera, its benefits outweigh those disadvantages for a photographer that’s looking for a camera to use to learn the ropes.

Let me start by saying that I'm a Nikon shooter.
But that doesn't mean that I don't admire and respect what Canon has accomplished over the years.
In fact, I might argue that their EOS line of cameras is one of the most significant - if not the most significant in the history of photography.
My how far we've come...
The EOS line started in the days of film, made the transition to digital along with the rest of the world, and continues to provide photographers with innovative products to this day.
Let's take a walk down memory lane and have a look at the history of the EOS system, from its beginning in March 1987 right through to 2017.
EOS 650 - Where It All Began
In March 1987, Canon revolutionized the photography world by introducing the EOS 650.
It was a film camera, so there was nothing new there. But it was also the first camera to use the EF (Electro-Focus) lens mount, which not only meant that every EOS camera made since then can use the same lenses, but it also meant that the mechanical connections used by previous cameras were now gone.
In their place was a completely electronic functionality - a gamble, to say the least, back in the analog days of the 1980s.
These new EF lenses had other revolutionary features as well...
For one, they had a huge internal mount size (54mm in diameter), which meant Canon could make lenses with enormous apertures.
Secondly, the EF lenses introduced along with the EOS 650 had an Ultrasonic Motor (USM), which made autofocusing faster, more accurate, and all but silent.
EOS-1 - Setting the Stage for Digital
It was only September of 1989 - just 2 1/2 years since the EOS line was first launched.
But already, Canon was thinking ahead and figuring out how to lay the foundation for a move to digital photography.
It would be a number of years before that happened in earnest with the development of the Canon CMOS sensor, but the groundwork was laid with the EOS-1 camera.
The EOS-1 had what Canon called a Cross-Type BASIS (Base-Stored Image Sensor) sensor that gave it the ability to autofocus on a subject with accuracy that to that point had been unachievable. This accuracy was due to the camera's ability to "see" on both the vertical and horizontal planes, giving it much-improved capabilities for tracking all sorts of subjects.
Not to be overshadowed, the EOS-1 debuted with a couple of new lenses, both of which represented Canon's first L-series glass: the EF 50mm f/1.0L USM and the EF 80-200mm f/2.8L USM.
EOS-RT - The Fixed Mirror Arrives
Unlike every other SLR camera made at the time, the EOS-RT, which debuted in October 1989, had a different sort of mirror.
Where traditional SLRs had a mirror that moved within the camera body when a photo was taken, the EOS-RT had a fixed pellicle mirror.
That meant that the mirror stayed put during the exposure, which resulted in a lighting-fast shutter delay of 0.008 seconds.
With such fast performance, it's no wonder that the EOS-RT became a quick favorite of photographers in the wildlife and sports circuits.
EOS 1000 - The BUdget-Friendly SLR
When it launched in October 1990, the EOS 1000 represented one of the best buys a photographer could find with a price of less than $1,000.
With that budget-friendly price tag, Canon jumped squarely into the "prosumer" realm with a camera that had many of the features of its higher-end predecessors.
The EOS 1000 also sported Al Servo and One-Shot AF Modes, making it a favorite of photographers that wanted fast and accurate autofocus.
Because it was targeted toward enthusiast photographers and not just professionals, the EOS 1000 opened photography up to a new generation of hobbyist photographers and ushered in an era in which even beginning photographers could afford a feature-packed SLR camera.
EOS DCS 3 - Digital Arrives
In July 1995, Canon jumped into the future with the introduction of the EOS DCS 3, Canon's first digital EOS camera.
The DCS 3 had a "huge" 1.3-megapixel sensor that nevertheless produced images that were ready to go right out of the camera. It was a game changer for photographers of all ilks, but particularly for photojournalists who could have their images ready for print right then and there.
But that digital technology came with a hefty price tag - nearly $13,000 by today's standards.
It certainly wasn't as big of a seller as the comparatively dirt-cheap EOS 1000, but it represented a major shift in the EOS line and in all of photography for that matter.
EOS 50E - Advanced Light Metering Debuts
Just two months after Canon unveiled the DCS 3, the EOS 50E/Elan IIE came out.EOS 50E/Elan IIE came out.
The 50E's claim to fame was a new E-TTL (Evaluative Through-the-Lens) light metering system that replaced Canon's A TTL meter.
E-TTL used the same evaluative metering sensor for measuring ambient light. However, because it metered through the lens, it had much better performance and accuracy. In fact, the E-TTL system was much less likely to be fooled by reflected light.
The solid performance of the E-TTL system laid the foundation for future light metering systems for Canon's EOS cameras.
EOS 3 - Autofocus Performance Gets a Boost
In November 1998, Canon released the EOS-3, a camera whose claim to face was a 45-point autofocus system.
Those 45 AF points were clustered into a circular area that covered nearly a quarter of the viewfinder. That meant photographers could enjoy a completely new level of accurate focus and speed of acquiring a subject.
EOS 300 - The Beginner's EOS Camera
In April 1999, Canon released the EOS 300 as a camera for the everyday photographer.
Like the EOS 1000, the EOS 300 was budget-friendly (about $400 by today's standards). But it also had a number of features intended to make taking a quality photo an easier task.
It's best feature was a 7-point autofocus system with Advanced Integrated Multipoint metering that linked the exposure to seven AF points. That resulted in a photo with more precise results than a beginner photographer could have achieved before.
It was an analog camera, but the price point helped introduce the EOS line to a whole new generation of photography buffs and made the EOS 300 one of the top selling analog cameras of the EOS line.
EOS D30 - The CMOS Sensor Debuts
By Valtteri Vuorikoski - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=2680090
Today, CMOS sensors are a ubiquitous part of the Canon ecosystem. But it got its debut in October 2000 in the EOS D30.
The 3.11-megapixel CMOS sensor was the first use of CMOS technology for imaging (it had previously been used for metering and autofocus sensors).
Additionally, the EOS D30 represented the first digital EOS camera in which all of its major components were built by Canon.
When it came out, the D30 impressed with excellent dynamic range, low noise, and excellent battery life. As well, the CMOS sensor would go on to become the basis for all future EOS cameras, including those manufactured today.
EOS-1D - The 1 Series is Born
Today, Canon's EOS 1 Series represents the cream of the crop for DSLRs.
It got its start in December 2001 with the EOS-1D, a camera that had a 4-megapixel sensor and a 55-millisecond shutter release lag time.
Not only did it produce the best images to date, but the 1D could also handle 8fps shooting, which made it a prime choice for sports photographers.
Canon has lost some ground in the sports photography market in recent years, but you'll still see plenty of 1-series Canons on the sidelines of today's sporting events.
EOS-1Ds - A Full Frame EOS Camera
A lot of photographers today would likely consider the EOS-1Ds the first modern DSLR.
Debuting in November 2002, the 1Ds had an 11.1-megapixel CMOS full frame sensor, giving it more sensitivity and dynamic range than any EOS camera before it.
Additionally, the 1Ds had the best noise performance to date, allowing photographers to shoot in low light conditions without digital noise.
There was also something familiar about the 1Ds for film photographers, given that its full frame sensor was the same size as a 35mm frame of film. That comfort level allowed some holdovers from the film days to make an easier transition into the digital world.
EOS 10D - DIGIC Processing Revealed
When the EOS 10D came out in March 2003, it was the first EOS camera to use Canon's DIGIC image processing.
Today, DIGIC processing is right up there with CMOS sensors in terms of being hallmark features of Canon cameras.
The beauty of DIGIC processing is that it made the EOS 10D a fast camera with little buffer time that gave photographers an expanded range of shooting speed.
What's more, DIGIC processing allowed photographers to simultaneously take JPEG and RAW files, making it the first EOS camera to give photographers that degree of flexibility and post-processing options.
EOS 300D - A Consumer Level DSLR
Once September 2003 rolled around, Canon released the EOS 300D to wide acclaim.
At less than $1,000, the EOS 300D was another budget-friendly camera, this time offering a 6.3-megapixel sensor and a new lens mount in the EF-S system, where S referred to "short-back focus."
With the new smaller, lighter, and less expensive EF-S lenses, the 300D was the first truly consumer-level DSLR. Not only was the camera less expensive, but it also had a growing line of EF-S lenses so budget-conscious photographers could develop a kit much more easily. Of course, the 300D was compatible with the already huge line of EF lenses too.
EOS-1D Mark II - The 1D, Upgraded
When the EOS-1D Mark II came out in April 2004, it represented a huge step forward even over its predecessor, the 1D.
With continuous shooting of 8.5fps, the camera had lightning-fast speed that would still be considered good in 2017.
What's more, the 1D Mark II sported an upgraded DIGIC II processor, giving the camera much greater ability to handle the data collected by its 8.2-megapixel sensor.
Another new feature to the 1D Mark II was the E-TTL flash metering system, which added lens distance information to its algorithms. That meant it could better determine the level of flash output.
The metering system was also no longer linked just to the autofocus system, meaning it could compare the pre-flash and ambient light levels to get a more precise location on the subject. That also introduced the ability to lock focus on the subject and recompose the shot without causing the metering system all sorts of confusion.
EOS-1Ds Mark II - A New Level of Image Quality
In November 2004, the EOS-1Ds Mark II set a new level of image quality for the EOS line with a whopping 16.7-megapixel full frame CMOS sensor.
That sensor could produce files that converted to 24-bit TIFF files, which was the standard that most photo agencies required.
With continuous shooting at 4fps, it wasn't the fastest EOS camera, but it could sustain that speed for up to 32 frames. The camera's DIGIC II processor made that possible.
The quality of the images produced with this camera is worth mentioning. Not only was the sensor huge for the day, but it was argued by many photographers at the time that its images were of higher quality than 35mm film. Because of that, the EOS-1D Mark II is often considered the camera that redefined the level of performance that a digital camera could achieve.
EOS 350D - Expanded Capabilities for a Consumer Camera
Canon had long seen the value in offering high-quality cameras to beginner and hobbyist photographers. The EOS 350Drepresented a continuation of that thinking.
For the first time, a consumer-level camera had an 8-megapixel sensor, DIGIC II processing, and E-TTL II flash exposure capabilities.
What's more, the 350D was compatible with five dozen EF-S and EF lenses, giving everyday people the chance to have a fully-functioning, professional-level camera at their fingertips.
But all those features weren't the only calling card of the 350D - it was also priced aggressively. With so many features and a good price, the 350D became one of the fastest-selling DSLRs to date.
EOS 5D - A Smaller Full Frame Body
When Canon introduced the full frame CMOS sensor in a smaller body in October 2005, a new type of camera was born.
Dubbed the EOS 5D, the camera had a 12.8-megapixel sensor that provided photographers with excellent full frame images without all the bulk of a traditional full frame body.
In fact, the 5D weighed in at just 810 grams, making it an ideal choice for photographers on the go, like those in the travel and photojournalism sectors. Its successors have proven to be just as valuable, making the 5D line among the very best.
EOS-1D Mark III - 20 Years of EOS Cameras
In February 2007, Canon released the EOS-1D Mark III as a way to celebrate two decades of the EOS line.
This camera put everything Canon had learned into one body, with a 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and an astonishing 10fps shooting capability.
Canon wanted the 1D Mark III to be the fastest DSLR available, and they achieved that mark easily.
The camera also offered excellent shutter speeds, from 30 seconds to 1/8000th seconds. Canon's new self-cleaning system and live view technology rounded out some of its best features.
EOS-1Ds Mark III - Dual DIGIC Processing
In August 2007, Canon kept the innovation going when they introduced the EOS-1Ds Mark III.
Like its predecessor, it was developed with professional photographers in mind. As a result, the 1Ds Mark III came with a 21.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, a three-inch LCD display with Live View capabilities, and two DIGIC III processors that gave it the capability of capturing images at 5fps.
The 1Ds Mark III also carried over from the 1D Mark III, including the 63-point exposure metering system, a 19-point autofocus system, and a shutter speed range of 30 seconds to 1/8000th seconds.
EOS Rebel T1i - The Rebel Series Begins
In May 2009, Canon changed the DSLR market yet again with the introduction of the Rebel T1i.
This new entry-level camera gave beginner photographers many new features that made better photos possible.
This included a 15.1-megapixel sensor that was far and away more resolution than ever offered at this price point before. What's more, it had a native ISO range up to 3200, making it a good low-light performer as well, although by today's standards there was a high degree of noise.
The T1i was also capable of recording HD video - one of the first DSLRs to do so.
EOS 7D - A Top-End Crop Sensor
In September 2009, Canon unveiled the EOS 7D, a high-end crop-sensor camera with an 18-megapixel CMOS sensor.
With 8fps shooting, the camera offered fast performance for photographers that work with fast-moving subjects. Like the T1i before it, it also had full-HD video recording capabilities.
The 7D featured a viewfinder with 100% coverage and 1.0X magnification and a 19-point AF system as well.
These features made the 7D a venerable part of the EOS lineup, as evidenced by its five-year-long lifecycle before being replaced by the 7D Mark II in 2014.
EOS Rebel T3 - Another Consumer-Level Gem
By 2011, the consumer-level DSLR market was hotter than ever, and Canon tapped into that with its newest in the Rebel line, the T3.
With a 12-megapixel sensor and 3fps shooting, the T3 certainly didn't blow anyone away with its features.
However, as an entry-level camera, the T3 gave beginner photographers plenty of punch to pursue more advanced photography.
The biggest draw of the T3 was certainly the price - about $600 with a kit lens.
Though it's not known for having lots of bells and whistles or producing the best images, it certainly has its place among the cameras that helped beginners find a way into the DSLR market.
EOS 1D X - Canon's New Flagship
In March 2012, the EOS 1D X became Canon's new flagship professional DSLR, replacing the older EOS-1DS Mark III and the EOS-1D Mark IV.
The 1D X came with a 61-point autofocus system with face detection that also rotated as you changed the orientation of the camera.
It also had an expanded ISO range to 51200, giving photographers a much greater ability to shoot in low-light situations. The camera integrated HD video capabilities, including manual audio controls as well, making it a solid choice for videographers and photographers alike.
Best of all, the 1D X achieved one of the best camera sensor ratings for a Canon camera by DxO Labs - a score of 82 out of 100.
EOS 5D Mark III - Full Frame Glory
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the EOS line, Canon released the 5D Mark III.
And celebrate in style is what Canon did.
The 5D Mark III was intended to be a supercharged camera, with features that knocked the socks off of the market.
That included a 22.3-megapixel full frame CMOS sensor, a DIGIC 5+ image processor, and expanded ISO range to 25600.
What's more, the 5D Mark III had a brand new 61-point autofocus system for improved subject tracking. That was made possible by 41 cross-type points and five dual cross-type points, both of which were major upgrades over the 5D Mark II.
In fact, the 5D Mark III was the first EOS camera to get this top-of-the-line autofocus system outside of the 1-series EOS cameras.
EOS M - The First Canon Mirrorless CameraBy 35mm - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=28863868
Canon was admittedly a little late to the mirrorless party, introducing their first one, the EOS M, in 2012.
With a 3-inch touch screen that supports smartphone-like gestures like pinching to zoom, the M came with tons of fancy, connected features.
With an 18-megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 processing, it produced good photos, and fast.
Like its DSLR EOS cameras, the M accepted Canon EF-S and EF lenses (with an adapter). M-specific lenses were also released, numbering just four at the time.
EOS 70D - Revolutionary Autofocus
Announced in July 2013, the EOS 70D represented a huge leap forward in the autofocus department, despite the fact that the 70D is a mid-tier APS-C camera.
The hubbub with the 70D's AF system, dubbed the Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, is that it had vastly improved focusing speed not just for still photos, but for video too, and while using live view. This was especially the case when shooting at a large aperture.
Beyond that, the 70D offered 7fps shooting, an articulated 3-inch LCD with touch screen capabilities, and HD video capabilities at 1080p.
Add in Wi-Fi, weather-sealing, and a price tag under $1,200, and Canon had a winner on its hands with the 70D.
EOS 7D Mark II - A Long Awaited Update
After a five year wait, 7D shooters finally got the update they were looking for in the EOS 7D Mark II.
After all that time, the 7D series needed a boost, and it certainly got it.
The 7D Mark II bumped up the sensor resolution to 20-megapixels and the shutter life to 200,000 shots. The burst rate was increased as well, from 8fps in the 7D to 10fps in the 7D Mark II.
Perhaps the biggest change was in the autofocus system.
The 7D Mark II has 65 autofocus points, all of which are cross-type. The center point is double-cross-type and can focus with lenses as slow as f/8 and down to -3 EV. That makes the 7D Mark II a beast of a camera when needing to shoot in low-light situations.
EOS 5DS & EOS 5DSR - Crazy Resolution
The EOS 5DS and 5DSR were announced in 2015 to much fanfare because they represented the highest resolution sensors to date.
At an astounding 50.6-megapixels, these cameras have unparalleled image quality. And that quality is paired with exceptional speed too, as they sport Dual DIGIC 6 processors with 14-bit processing.
The 5DS and 5DSR have excellent autofocus and metering abilities as well. That's thanks to a 61-point AF system with 41 cross-type points and a new EOS Scene Detection System that has a 150,000-pixel RGB + IR metering sensor.
In short, if you want photos that are clear, sharp, and have finely tuned exposure levels, these cameras are a good choice.
EOS 80D - New Features to Aid in Better Photos
The EOS 80D wasn't a groundbreaking camera, per se, but it included a variety of upgrades over its predecessor, the 70D, that make it a vast improvement.
Not only did the 80D get a better sensor - a dual-pixel 24.2-megapixel CMOS - but it also got an upgraded autofocus system with 45 cross-type AF points, a full 29 more than the 70D.
Additionally, the 80D benefitted from the inclusion of the DIGIC 6 processor for lightning-fast speed, and a new 7560-pixel RGB + IR metering sensor for improved autofocus performance.
Add to that a new shutter mechanism that reduced vibrations and camera shake, and you've got a recipe for a user-friendly camera that takes better photos than models that came before it.
EOS-1DX Mark II - The Flagship RedefinedBy Harrison Jones - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=50920089
Released at virtually the same time as the 80D, the EOS-1DX Mark II improved upon the original 1DX in a variety of ways.
To begin, it featured full HD video capabilities, including DCI 4K recording at up to 60fps.
With a continuous shooting rate of 14fps, it offered a new realm of lighting-fast performance. Paired with an autofocus system in which all AF points work to a maximum aperture of f/8, and you have a camera that performs well in all sorts of situations.
Beyond that, the 1DX Mark II has an extended ISO range to a whopping 409600, making it a prime target for low-light shooters.
With a touch screen-enabled LCD, anti-flicker features, built-in GPS, and Wi-Fi, this is truly a modern, 21st-century camera.
EOS Rebel T7i - The First Rebel With Dual-Pixel Live View AF
With a release date that's still a couple of weeks away as of writing, the EOS T7i is the newest addition to the EOS lineup and represents what the EOS lineup has been all about the last 30 years.
It's got the innovative Dual-Pixel CMOS Autofocus system, the first Rebel to do so. Paired with 45 cross-type AF points and the newest iteration of the DIGIC processor - the DIGIC 7 - this camera is sure to be both accurate and fast.
For an APS-C camera, it's got tons of other features to be excited about, including 6fps shooting, a standard ISO to 25600, and 1080p video recording. It's even got built-in HDR and time-lapse recording capabilities.
There's also Bluetooth and built-in NFC that makes this a modern, connected camera. See more of the T7i's features in the video below from Canon USA:
Again, the T7i represents all the best parts of the EOS line of cameras. It's packed with features, user-friendly, and priced well.
Just like its predecessors have done, I imagine the T7i will invite a new generation of photographers to get into DSLR photography and open up a whole new world of photo-taking.
Knowing what they have in store for the T7i, I'd say the future is bright for Canon and the EOS line, and I for one can't wait to see what they come up with next!
This article about "Canon EOS Cameras" was first published on our website here https://www.photographytalk.com/photography-articles/7372-canon-s-eos-line-is-30-years-old-and-still-going-strong
from https://photographytalkcom.blogspot.com/2020/07/canons-eos-line-is-30-years-old-and.html Canon’s Rebel brand of digital cameras has been very popular for years. One of the newest is the Canon EOS Rebel T3 (March 2011). This camera has been specifically designed for beginners’ first experience with a DSLR photography and videography while Canon T3i is preferred by advanced photographers. It’s small and lightweight and has interchangeable lenses. Photographers, new to DSLRs, will find this model to be very comfortable in their hands, takes outstanding digital photos quickly and easily, and has exceptional exposure capabilities in low light.
Read real customer reviews of the Canon EOS Rebel T3 here.
Canon has packed an incredible amount of picture-taking power in the relatively small T3. Primary features include a 12.2-megapixel Canon CMOS image sensor, a proprietary DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor, a 9-point Auto-focus system, a 100–6400 ISO range, a 63-zone dual-layer metering system and a pop-up flash. Beginners who enter the DSLR world with the Canon T3 will discover that it absorbs more light with less noise. This means higher quality digital photos shot in low-light conditions. Because the T3 collects light so well, any photographer will be able to freeze fast motion, even at 3 frames per second. The camera will accept SD, SDHC or new extended capacity SDXC memory cards.
One of the Rebel T3’s most exciting features is that it shoots 1280x720 HD movies, which results in a very high quality image of 12-megapixel resolution. It’s been designed to switch from digital photography to digital video with a quick mode setting change. Beginners will particularly like the EOS Feature Guide. It includes a Quick Settings Screen, which was created to make it easier to understand the various camera settings, with detailed descriptions and recommendations for use.
Even the newest rookie digital photographers will quickly learn how to change the various settings, and take better pictures almost immediately. He or she can select either the Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Action or Night Scene auto mode, and then view a menu screen that will help the photographer adjust each image’s ambience. The Rebel T3 has a number of basic shooting “zones,” from which the photographer can adjust exposures according to the lighting or the type of scene. Ambience settings are from Vivid, Soft, Warm, Intense, Cool, Brighter, Darker to Monochrome. A separate light setting offers the choices of Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Tungsten Light, Fluorescent Light or Sunset. The Canon EOS Rebel T3 Digital SLR camera comes with Canon’s new EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5-5.6 II zoom lens at an estimated retail price of $599.99. The new lens features Canon’s optical lens-shift image stabilization system, with four full stops of image-shake correction. This is accomplished with the new IS algorithms. The lens recognizes the difference between normal digital photography and the panning motion when in HD video mode. The T3 can also be paired with all of Canon’s more than 60 Canon EF and EF-S lenses.
