It arrived just like described.. I am very satisfied until now. I hope I will still be satisfied once I use it for longer... I still haven't used it so much, but it seems great...

Great Camera!!! amazing quality photo's. Light, compact and portable. Still need to make some time to learn all the great feature. I love it!

Had some trouble finding out how to manually turn off the flash at first, but once we got that figured out we were good to go. This is our first SLR so we might be bad judges, but its a huge upgrade from the point and click. takes really clear pictures and I can see buying a further zoom lens (i assume they make them).

Got this for my wife's birthday and she absolutely loves it! We've always owned point and shoot cameras and I was shocked to see the differance in quality after getting this camera. The pictures are so clear and detailed... it's truly a step up in picture taking!

I am a beginner photographer and I think this is the ideal camera to use. (I have only used simple point and shoot cameras in the past). It is simple if you just want to point and shoot or if you want to be a bit more creative there is the option for manual settings - I am only just starting out on this as I have only had it a short time. The photos look pretty good on the camera screen but amazing on my lap top screen with far more definition eg I took a photo at Newark Airport hoping to see the New York Skyline but it didn't show up on the camera but when I got home and put it on the computer - eureka! - there it was. I have a lot to learn yet so I am sure I will be happy with this camera for quite a while.

I am very happy with my camera! It is easy to use and I love the way the pics look!

This review is for the Canon Rebel T3 with the 18-55mm lensLet me start by saying this is the best camera I have ever owned! It replaced a GE Point and Shoot, and a Canon Rebel XSI. I am an armature photographer who specializes in portrait and nature photography. The camera has always been on top of everything I shoot, and the images look stunning in post editing software. Not only does the quality of the images look stunning, but the camera body looks and feels amazing (even though most of the materials used is a durable plastic). This camera is very light, and is a dream during long photo shoots, or outings here in Oregon. Speaking of Oregon (where if you don't like the weather wait for 5 minutes) this camera has remained functional during some light rain. Even though this camera looks like its predecessor XSI, this camera exceeds in terms of shooting capabilities. Both the T3 and XSI have the same 12.2 megapixels and the same operating specs, but the T3 just seems more fluid while shooting. I will go in depth on what was just stated later on in the review. The review begins with the following:-UsabilityPro's: Feels good in hands, never slips out of hands, VERY light!Con's: Matte finish collects smudges, the possibility that this camera may not hold up in a fall (I have yet to find this out)-FunctionalityPro's: Fast shutter speed, stunning low light situations, crammed with megapixels, in camera editing, amazing colors (sunsets look real to life), highly customizablemenu options and settings.Con's: Occasionally the camera freezes OR is slow with processing images*T3 VS. XSI*The T3 as mentioned earlier is almost the same as the XSI but with some minor differences depending on the user. Getting back to the fluidness of the camera that can be traced back to the updated DIG!C processor. Images just seem to come out brighter and clearer (maybe its just me). The XSI however was made out of more metal and rubber which made the build quality better, but much heaver.SummaryIf you are someone who needs functionality and speed from a light weight camera than the T3 is for you. But if you want more megapixels than I would recommend the T3I. Either way the Canon brand has made some very functional friendly cameras, and cost efficient DSLR'S lately. If you are coming from a point and shoot make the jump you won't retreat it!

Very nice camera. It is my first dslr. Excellent price and very easy to use. Pictures are very good quality.
