Cannon t3i camera good??

[Mattl22]

My wife and I r buying a camera too take pics of our new baby that's on it's way !!! So it's win win for me because I can use it too take pics of my tank!

Anyone own this any advice is there a better one at same price point !

At the Same Price Point There is not much to pick from. You can look at the Nikon in that price range. Unless you already have lenses then either Nikon or Canon will be fine.

I don't have any lenses I'll just be getting the stock camera will it be good enough to take nice pics?

 

[thirty5]

Yes it will be fine to take nice pics of your family. For the tank might be little different, cause you need more control of the white balance and such, unless you plan to edit the photos after you take them.

But the model you mentioned will be good for basic photos.. I think that you will be happy with it.

Make it a win win situation and get the Nikon D4
your wife will be happy with the purchase lol

Canon just released the T4i... for the bit more it costs, it sounds like a worthwhile investment.

I've owned several Canon DSLR's in the past and have never been disappointed. Either would be a terrific first SLR! Congrats on the baby!

shoot in raw... and get a program like Adobe Photoshop to edit images.

any way to just set it from camera without program I'm a computer illiterate fool

The T3i is more than a prosumer digital, it is a gateway to significant achievements in your photography. Pair it with imagination, a keen eye, a little luck, practice, some good glass, and you can capture, manipulate, fine tune, and present images that WILL INFLUENCE FOREVER.

Canon 7d has auto mode and you can learn as you go. Try to look at the two big stores in Manhattan on line and you can get a refurb and save a few hundred. I started with the t1i and now have the 7d its better in low light and faster
