T3 Summary

Marking a new entry point to the Rebel line, the Canon T3 offers good image quality, a friendly design, and excellent battery life. Although its burst-shooting capabilities don't match the best-in-class, and has a few omissions such as dust removal and spot metering, these are fairly easy to overlook given the entry-level pricetag. In all, a fairly easy recommendation for the first-time SLR buyer.

Pros

Well-considered ergonomics and control layout; Solid build; Good image quality; Great battery life; High-def movie capture.

Cons

Frame rate and burst depth not the best, especially for raw; Weak flash for an SLR; No sensor cleaning function; No spot metering.

Price and availability

The Canon Rebel T3 shipped from early March 2011, priced at US$599.99 with the 18-55mm IS II kit lens.
