Need some help, a friend of mine wants to sell me his used Canon T3i, now I have never used a Canon, as most of my friend know I am a Nikon person, but he wants to dump if for $200.00, now all my friends that use Canons seem to have Canons D6 and D7 and double Ds but nothing about this Canon, those that use it would be a big help in filling me in on it's ability and soundness.
Thanks guys any and all suggestions is welcomed
It's a very capable camera. It just doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the higher end Canon's and not as good in low light siturations. It would help to know what you are going to use it for. If just for general snap-shots, family pics, etc. I highly recommend it. If you are planning to shoot sports, art photography, etc. you will probably need more. I have one as a backup to my 70D and D6 and in general, shots with plenty of light etc., anyone would be hard pressed to see a difference in the PP'd image between the T3i and the other two. It's a steal at $200 and I would do it without hesitation (if it's in good shape of course!).....hope this helps.
