Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Buy.com has a solid deal on a Canon T3i kit with the 18-55mm IS, 55-250mm IS and 50mm f/1.8 lenses for $999. The deal also includes a SanDisk Ultra 16GB SDHC card, as well as some other “junk” items.
The price of the camera lenses and card is over $150 less than you can find it on Amazon ($1158 total – not including the sorry bag and cleaning kit). This is a great deal on a great camera and lens starter kit. Check it out at Buy.com.
I don’t think I’ve had more fun with a camera since I first held the 5D Mark II. Sure, it’s got some quirks, but the excellent image quality and amazing flash sync speed push the Fuji X100 into the front runner position as my personal pick for camera of the year. We’ll see what the rest of the year holds; however, it will take some serious innovation to unseat the X100. Find it at B&H Photo (when it’s in stock). [Read more…]

Canon has announced a pair of new entry-level DSLRs – the EOS Rebel T3i and EOS Rebel T3.
The Canon Rebel T3i features an 18MP CMOS sensor, a 3-inch vari-angle LCD (very similar to the 60D) and captures HD video in full 1920 x 1080 resolution at 24p, 25p, or 30p. A new feature for EOS cameras, the T3i allows users to magnify HD video between 3x to 10x while retaining Full HD quality. Additionally, you can opt to record video clips (dubbed “Video Snapshots”) at 2s, 4s, or 8s while capturing still images.
A big boost for the Rebel line is the T3i’s ability to control Canon Speedlites courtesy of a built-in Integrated Speedlite Transmitter. The Canon Rebel T3i should be available in March and retails for $799.99 for body only and for $899.99 with the new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II kit lens. Check availability on Amazon.com.
The Canon Rebel T3 becomes the entry-level Canon Rebel, and sports a 12.2MP CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4 processor and 9-point AF system. The Rebel T3 can also capture video, albeit at a lower 720p resolution. The Canon Rebel T3 should be avialable in March at an initial retail price of $599.99. Check availability on Amazon.com.
In addition to the new Rebel models, Canon has also introduced two new entry-level Speedlites – the 320EX and 270EX II, priced at $249.99 and $169.99, respectively. The new Speedlites should be available in April.
