Re: Wich camera is best for macro mpe 65 between rebel t1i and rebel t3

I agree with the good advice from R2, especially concerning the mismatch when pairing an entry level body with the specialist (and difficult to master) MP-E 65.

Left out of the OP's question was any mention of lighting and whether a tripod would be employed. At minimum, a speedlite with snoot and diffuser should be included to make the most of this lens.

There are plenty of forums out there dedicated to macro, some research should come before buying the MP-E 65, and preferably quite a bit of time spent with a 1:1 macro that still allows infinity focus.
