Re: 1100d/t3 or NX11?

While Samsung has created an excellent camera body , the fact of the matter is that there are a grand total of 9 lenses for it:

If you want anything more than the kit lens, the Canon will be much cheaper as the 55-250 can be found for $200 in the US and the 50mm f/1.8 for $115.

The Samsung lenses start at $250 apiece.

As for sensor cleaning, I had to wet clean the sensor of our old 300D when we purchased it but haven't seen any dust on it since. We have had it since September of 2009, and while its our second body, its really not that big of a deal. The wet cleaning kits cost about $20 and usually have 5 sealed swabs.

The UK is also not the dustiest place in the world. (Moldy, maybe, but not dusty.)

If you can find a T1i still for sale, its price should be comparable to that of the T3, and it is a superior camera.
