Excellent Beginner DSLR

This is an Excellent choice for someone who is learning or wants to learn the In's & Out's of a DSLR.
It takes excellent pictures and the controls are very easy. If one is learning ISO/WB/Apeture & ShutterSpeed this is the camera for you. The body is nice and sleek with a great look. Its a shame DP gave it a 69% all because of the body design. But they did give it good reviews on the camera's tech and at 12mp that is more then enough. Again if your are planning one using a PRO DSLR or a more expensive DSLR, learn the basics with the T3 and you'll be set for a better more powerful camera in the future. See my pics from the Canon T3 here and judge for yourselfs. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sqrlyearlynyc/

I plan on moving to the 7D after this camera or even the 1D

Problems:

Plastic feel. Kind of small.
