T3i - not really that much better than original Rebel (300D)?

Re: T3i - not really that much better than original Rebel (300D)?

There is a more diplomatic way to express that sentiment.

Recent production digital cameras require a much larger investment in time to get results that are on par with first generation DSLRs and / or point and shoots or phone cameras.

If you put a DSLR in P or S mode,  and do not adjust the white balance, picture mode etc you will most likely get results that are inferior to DSLRs with fewer features.  In low light situations, or difficult back lighting situations, you will probably get results that are significantly worse than simple models.

Using that logic, the average person should go no higher than a Nikon 3200 or Canon equivalent...

Unless you are prepared to the read the manual, spin the dials, adjust the ISO, WB etc.... and miss a lot of shots.
