I chose Canon because I wanted better video and liked the controls and user interface more.  This was between the Canon t3i and Nikon D5100.

I just bought a t3i and am loving the Digital Photo Professional that came with the camera.

I haven't really sat down to use it extensively yet but I believe I'm going to really enjoy it! I actually ended up paying $81 out of pocket as the lens decreased to $92 and Amazon was willing to...

I recently bought a Canon t3i so I would be inclined to recommend either the Canon t2i or the t3i if you want a swivel screen.  You should really try any of your potential choices out to see which...

Thanks for the advice. I'm not a first time DSLR user. I've previously had and sold a Nikon D40x and Nikon D90 that I also used a 50mm f/1.8 lens on.  I do plan to add another lens soon though.

I did a ton of research, went to the store and tried them out and finally decided on the Canon t3i. I almost went with the Sony a57 but Dh didn't like the EVF, and since he wants to use the camera...

After thinking about it, I'm glad I didn't go with the B&H deal as I would have had to spend $999.  It's just too much hassle trying to sell the things I wouldn't be keeping and waiting for a...

I didn't say your points were subjective.  I said I guess it's all subjective. What you like, someone else might not.

I sure hope so too.  I've heard great things about it so fingers crossed.

I guess it's all subjective.  You probably think I'm insane.  I had a Nikon D90 and sold it and downgraded to a point and shoot only to just today buy a Canon t3i.  Anyways, Dh talked me over to...

I ended up buying the t3i body and  the 50mm f/1.8 lens to start with.  I plan to add the Tamron 17-50mm soon enough.  All in all for the body, lens and memory card (free on Amazon), my out of...

Thank you!  You said it better than I did apparently!

I didn't say lenses don't matter.  For the average consumer, a Sony DSLR should be fine.  Then what do I know???  I just base my information on research I've read on here and everywhere else that...

If his wife is not going to be a professional photographer, I don't see why lens selection really matters that much.  Sony has great DSLR's based on my research.  I was looking at the Sony a57 and...

If you go with the Canon, I'd get the new 18-135mm STM lens based on my research.  I was also looking at the Sony a57 and the Canon t3i or t4i but my husband who will be using the camera too wasn't...

Thanks for making me feel better.  Now I just need to decide and hit submit already.  I swear I'm the most indecisive person.

I need to check to see if they are EF Mount lenses or not.  Hopefully they are but I'm not holding my breath.

Okay, I  understand now.  I received a $500 bonus from work so we're trying to keep our OOP cost as low as we can.  If the t4i with the 18-135mm STM lens is really better than the t3i then we can...

My husband also has older Canon lenses that we're hoping will work on this camera one being a 100mm Canon Carl Zeiss lens.

My cousin has T3 and loves it.  Enjoy!
