Inch by inch , framework by model , Canon is slow dragging the DSLRtoward its destiny : a full - fledged photograph - video hybrid camera . We ’re not there yet , but the $ 800 T3i brings gunslinger a bit close with a picture - centric swivel out screen .
Canon ’s Camera of the hereafter
First thing ’s first : If you have a T2i , do n’t freak out . You ’ve stillgot a killer camera . The T3i has the same rip & gut as its predecessor , just in a spiffier , more video - oriented package that pulls in the swivel screen from theslightly more upper level 60D. It ’s got the same 18 - megapixel prototype detector , same focus point , same video specs ( 1080p @ 24 or 30fps , 720p at 60fps , etc . ) .
Canon Rebel T2i Review : This Should Be Your First DSLR
So what ’s new ? Well , that flip - out screen . I though it was pretty damn gimmicky on the 60D ’ til I used it in several video shoots , but I ’ve come to legitimately appreciate it while doing picture work . The new kit lens adds another stop ’s worth of image stabilization . ( Kit price : $ 900 . ) It ’s also obtain some of the filter gist from the 60D , like fake disceptation - transmutation , fisheye and others . you’re able to shoot in multiple aspect ratios . A novel “ video shot ” feature article that fire two , four or eight second video clips . I care the idea . Digital soar while shoot video recording , which you could see in this sample from a pre - production unit ( I ’m not touching the lens at all in the magazine ):
I did n’t shoot a net ton of sampleage because we ’re talking the same image sensor and intestine as the T2i , so the persona and video quality should be the same — if it was n’t , the building block was pre - yield anyway , so final opinion would need to be reserved for the concluding ware . Besides , it was really crappy out . you could ascertain out the full - sizing sampleshere , though .
Aaaaand there ’s Modern bottom - level television camera , the T3 , which comes in a $ 600 kit . It ’s a relatively bare bones 12 - megapixel shooter that also record 720p video . No swivel screen . Personally , I ’d save up for the supernumerary cacography for a T2i instead , which is Canon ’s new middle entry point , sit between the T3 and the T3i .
