Cons Buffer limited with RAW shooting

Cons price, need to get an expensive memory card to take 1080 video
Recommended it? Yes

You can read the specs elsewhere, this will be my experience and opinion of the Canon T3i. 

Photo quality: As a new DSLR user, this camera is easy to use and produces amazing, clear, sharp photos. Of course I have never used a high end DSLR, but in comparison to any point and... Read full review »
