17.4 oz, $300.00, can't complain!

I purchased a canon t3/1100d body, it's small, sleek, light, affordable, powerful, shoots video Oh yah and its a CANON.

My #1 reason for buying this camera kit was to capture HD video using my Canon L lenses.  I have been shooting with Canon's 1d and 1ds series bodies for years. I am happy with the results I get with my t3 body. I recently took it on a trip to shoot video and photos and I am happy I left my 1d bodies behind, as I was able to save on weight and space. I do plan to use the HD clips from the t3 in videos and sell prints taken with the t3 body. NO I am not going trade in my 1d bodies for a second t3 but I am going to use this camera a lot! Most often my t3 is used in situations like festivals and fairs and markets, family events, backpacking and lightweight travel and many more situations.

I highly recommend the canon t3/1100d body if they own eos L lenses the IQ is great!

Here is a compressed sample image. I shot the other day using a rebel t3 (1100d), with a 300mm f2.8l T.C.2X
