User Reviews for Canon EOS 1100D (EF-S 18-55 mm IS II and EF-S 55-250 mm Lenses) Digital SLR Camera

chosed canon EOS 1100d after a lot of research....was confused with nikon d3100... a breif comparison: picture quality- both of them does wonders n there is nothing much to notice between them... build -no doubt about it that nikon beats canon in this respect, canon is lil plasticky controls- canon leads here with much simpler and good ergonomics. interface on canon also looks quite proffesional.. however ,nikon provides a guide mode which make the things bit easier but i dont think it makes much sense ,coz anyone going for SLR must be having a basic photography concepts. range of lenses- this was the factor which made me choose canon as canon is fitted with an inbuilt focusing motor ,which nikon d3100 lacks. ,so all lenses autofocuses on canon but not on nikon d3100. only AF-s lenses autofocuses on nikon which are 2-3 times costlier than the AF lenses.so,if u want to use 50mm f/1.8 lens ,which is the most affordable and wonderful lens available on canon and nikon both, this will autofocus on canon 1100d but not on nikon. on nikon u have to manually focus or spend around 13k on 50 mm AF-S f/1.8 which is twice as costlier than the previous one. so,if u want d-slr for looks -nikon if for image quality- nikon or canon either affordable photography with good lens compatibility- always canon

Hi, I placed an order on the 24th of October , was given a date of 4th for delivery! Was really excited and hence was tracking the delivery from day 1 ! Received it 1 day earlier than committed , good stuff Flipkart. Also, excellent packaging for such a fragile product . As usual the Nikon v/s Canon dilemma took most of my time in deciding. But since I had a Canon cam which lasted for ages literally, I was biased towards Canon.I read a lot of reviews before zooming in on 1100D . People generally prefer 550D but i think after using it I am more than satisfied. For some one who has used just digicams , this cam is a great start for SLRs i feel. It has excellent picture quality ( way better than point and shoots offering higher megapixels) Has intuitive modes which help you whenever you dont feel like going manual. Also , the package containing the 55-250 mm lens is a good deal coz sooner or later one tends to buy zoom lenses. Overall i think this double kit pack is one to go far. Pretty surprised no one has reviewed it yet ! Cheers and Happy Shooting !

The EOS Rebel T3, or 1100D, is definitely a better product than it's predecessor, EOS 1000D, in the entry level DSLR segment. 12 Megapixel sensor in it seems to be as good as Canon EOS XSi/450D. The previous 7-point AF system has also been upgraded to Canon's standard 9-point system. The camera features HD Movie Recording capabilities @ 720p which were absent on its predecessor.nnEOS T3 / 1100D manages to hit a respectably low price point, comfortably undercutting its major rival, the Nikon D3100. And on top when you get the combo package offer of EF-S 55-250mm IS II, telephoto zoom lenses from Canon then this seems to be the ideal choice for the budget minded smart buyer.nnSpecial thanks to Flipkart for delivering my much awaited stuff within three working days, much before the promised estimated 7 to 8 working days.
