What is the best DSLR camera for beginners? This question comes up all the time, in online camera forums, in Yahoo answers, at parties, and wherever photographers may gather. In this article it will be suggested that the Canon Rebel T3i (a.k.a. 600D) might be the best DSLR camera for beginners.
There were several criteria that one might use for determining whether or not the Canon Rebel T3i fits the bill. The first parameter will always be image quality. In addition to that, how easy or difficult is the camera for a new photographer? And finally, it is easy to get support and accessories?
First there is the question of image quality. The Canon Rebel answers this dramatically. It has been 18 megapixel image sensor which is the exact same image sensor that is in the Canon 60D as well as the Canon 7D. Nothing else needs to be said about the situation. After all, both these cameras are higher up the digital SLR line in terms of price and as professional photographic tools.
Next, let's look at how difficult the Canon Rebel T3i is to use for an absolute beginner. With this model there are actually several things that make it easy for newbies. Perhaps the most important feature helps all owners, not just beginners. It is the Feature Guide, which is viewable on the LCD panel whenever a new setting is chosen. The feature guide lets be photographer know what that new setting will do by displaying a text description of setting. In addition to the feature guide there is a quick set button which, when pressed will show the most common settings in the LCD panel so that the photographer can quickly move through them and select the one he or she wants. And finally (not really), there is the green "Intelligent Auto" setting on the mode dial. When the photographer sets his rebel on intelligent auto, the camera software will do all the dirty work. The camera examines the light settings, aperture, shutter speed so the best possible picture is taken every t ime. The percentage of time that this really is the best possible picture is really uncanny. In older models this was kind of a hit and miss setting. Some time you got it and sometimes you didn't.
The last thing is whether or not finding support and camera accessories is easy. In the case of the Canon rebel T3 I, it could not be any easier. As far as support is concerned, there are so many resources available for Canon camera owners. Of course, there is the Canon website, but perhaps the most important resource for support is other camera users who have similar models. In the case of the Rebel, you will find all kinds of online support and numerous camera websites, then Canon camera forums. Join the photography club, then you will discover that approximately 50% of the members use Canon digital cameras, and in that scenario the reason they are members of the photography club is share and grow. They are not shy about offering assistance when asked.
With regard to accessories, the most common accessory is an additional lens, and the good news is that you can attach any of the digital lenses that have been manufactured by Canon to your new Rebel. In fact, there are lots of third party manufacturers who produce lenses and other accessories specifically for Canon digital cameras. This is not necessarily true of all brands.
This is the evidence, and the evidence stands for itself. The Canon rebel T3i could just be the best DSLR camera for beginners.
