Overview — Canon T3i

The Canon EOS T3i is an APS-C DSLR built around an 18MP sensor paired with a DIGIC 4 image processor. It shoots stills at a maximum resolution of 5184x3456 pixels and supports a burst rate of 3.7fps, making it a capable option for everyday photography and casual action shooting. The ISO range runs from 100 to 6400, giving shooters a reasonable spread for varying lighting conditions.

Autofocus is handled by a 9-point phase detection system, providing reliable focus acquisition in typical shooting situations. On the video side, the T3i records up to 1080p at frame rates of 30fps, 25fps, and 24fps in 8-bit color, with a Standard color profile available. A standout feature for its class is the 3.0-inch Vari-Angle LCD with 1.04 million dots of resolution, which allows for flexible framing whether shooting low to the ground or overhead.

The optical pentamirror viewfinder offers 95% coverage. Connectivity includes Mini HDMI output, a 3.5mm microphone jack, and USB, while the camera accepts SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards. Six picture styles — Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful, and Monochrome — give photographers creative control over JPEG output straight from the camera.

The body is constructed from polycarbonate with a stainless steel chassis and weighs 570g, with no weather sealing. It runs on the LP-E8 battery rated for approximately 440 shots per charge.
