I was reviewing my old 300D photos and comparing them with T3i results, and some of the original rebel photos are better than T3i when it comes to difficult lighting situations. The white balance is better, and no complaints about focus. The T3i with a kit lens is sometimes inferior.

Any thoughts? Here is an example of a tough scene where the old Rebel did well.

I feel like I am fighting to get average results with the T3i unless using telephoto at the long end.

I bought the 300D and 300 f4 IS for $2300 in the fall of 2003. Best investment I ever made! Upgraded to the 7D about 3 years ago and have never been happy with the image quality. It is a decent sports camera for the price.
