It's still a pretty bird.

Please edit the title of your topic to specify Nikon shutter release mode. Thanks.
I'm curious, why edit the title to include the word NIKON?

I'm somewhat amazed that people respond to these ridiculous questions. Maybe it's mutual, content is irrelevant, it's the posting count that really matters.
Maybe I'm over reacting but I find it somewhat annoying when the new topics queue is loaded with a plethora of pointless questions.
A big Mac, I haven't had one of then in years.

Great shots. John Heinz. Wasn't he associated with the famous Heinz ketchup and other food production?
Yes, he's was also a senator. He died in a crash between his small aircraft and a helicopter. Senator and Secretary John Kerry is married to John Heinz' widow.
Does that $1000 include a lens? I suggest a Canon EOS 80D refurbished from Canon with an 18-135 or 18-200 lens to start.
Depends on what I'm doing. With flash, single shot; without flash, continuous low or continuous high, again, depends on setting and subjects, and camera.
Why do you keep asking inane irrelevant questions?!.
Nice shots. The John Hein National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum is one of my favorite places in the Philadelphia area. Although part of the refuge is in South west Philadelphia, the bulk of it is in Delaware County. Depending on when you visit and how far you are willing to walk you may see Bald Eagles, Cormorants, Egrets, Geese, Herons, Woodpeckers, Wrens, Wood Ducks and lots of other species of birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. When you are in the heart of the refuge it's hard to believe you are that close to one of the largest cities in the USA. I've been going there since I was a teenager and it was just the Tinicum marsh.
Before you spend money on a new camera, pick up some good books on digital photography and exposure, read them then find out if this newly gained knowledge helps you take better pictures with your T3i. If it does and you are happy with the results then ask yourself if you really need a better camera or just want one. If yes to either them seriously consider a refurbished 80D. Welcome to the UHH.
Someone was bored this evening...

I have done that exactly and have come up with a range of prices from $250 to $400. That is my problem. The fact that it is in mint condition doesn't seem to concern those of you who responded. Though I do appreciate the responses.
I gave you a value of $400 because you said it is in mint condition. You may think it is worth more but it is not a particularly good lens and it is overpriced new by Nikon. The lower priced Tokina 100 2.8 is a superior lens in every way, except maybe VR. Just because your lens says Nikon on it doesn't make it worth more. It is still a mediocre used lens.
I dont have the Tamron but I've read it is optically equivalent to the 150-600 Sigma Sport which I do have. I also have the EF 100-400L II and the EF 1.4EX III. The Canon is lighter, faster, sharper and all around better performer than my Sigma. The Sigma is a good sturdy work horse of a lens, heavy, well bult and sharp enough.
The Canon and teleconverter cost significantly more than the Sigma and Tamron but it is one of best super zooms made.
The Sigma does a great job but due to its weight, aapplications are limited.
There are many different kinds of heroes and John McCain is one of them.
Anyone who has the guts to fly a supersonic jet aircraft from and to an aircraft carrier over and over is a type of hero in my eyes.
Any person who has the ability and drive to do things that the vast majority of people can't do and do them for the benefit of the people and do them professonaly for not a lot of pay is a type of hero in my eyes.
As I said, there are many kinds of heros...
