I'm an indie filmmaker, and while the Canon 5D Mark III is perhaps the best SLR on the market as far as HD video shooting is concerned, my movies, nor I, exactly make a great deal of money, and I probably scrape by on the minimum wage day job I have right now. That said, the Rebel t3i is the next best thing if you're on a budget. Some great specs, and slightly improved features over the t2i, makes this an ideal SLR for under a grand. Thing you gotta know, however, is that while the 5D has a MUCH better sensor, the t3i, t2i, t4i, 60D and even the 7D all have the same sensor. And, yes, I hear people rave that if you can't get a 5D, you get the 7D. That's probably true if you're a still photographer, but if you're just doing straight video, don't waste your money and go for the t3i. You'll get the same video for less. But if you're a still photographer that wishes to take some great shots, or a sports photographer always on the go, get the 7D, spend the extra grand. The t3i, however, is worth it for budgeted filmmakers, and I recommend!
the only reason Im rating 4 stars is because there was a large hair inside the viewfinder when it came.
I sent it to Canon to get cleaned free of charge since its still under there warranty when you receive it.
Takes amazing pictures bought it for video capabilities !This camera has helped me expand my photography skills. It works great. I'm shocked at how long the battery lasts. I left the camera on for a whole week and the battery was not empty. I don't know what else to say about this camera. I think as long as you know how to work the settings like iso, aperture, and shutter speed, you'll be able to take great advantage of this camera. Overall, great camera.I have owned everything from The Canon XL-H1 to the Canon digital Rebel and no matter what I shoot I love the quality of canon lenses and canon value! this is awesome!
