Cheap and easy to use, but if you are going to get serious you could out grow it.
A little dated, but exceptional value. I shot with the eos 1100d for a week so i will convey my thoughts about this camera. I use multiple brands so have no specific loyalty to any mount or maker. The 1100d is the cheapest entry point into canon's dslr range. Though it's now over 3 years old, and doesn't have the huge number of pixels/features some rivals have in their 2014 models.
It's still a capable camera even if it's a tad dated in the marketplace. My pros and cons are as followspros:+ price, yes it's cheap and one of the best prices on a dslr at the entry point i've ever seen (update 04/14 - it's the cheapest i've ever seen on a dslr)+ image quality is 'good' few users will be unhappy here with nice tonality and good colours, good jpeg processing even at high iso levels+ good low light performance, the 12mp sensor delivers decent images even at iso 3200, and with care and in raw iso 6400 is not bad either (iso 6400 is the max here but i can't say i'd find higher that useful in aps-c cameras)+ has exposure bracketing of +/- 2 stops 3 shots (note the nikon equivalents have no exposure bracketing d3100/d3200 an important point for some)+ supoorts hss useful for fill flash shooting outside with a dedicated flash+ decent battery life. I was getting around 600 shots + using the viewfinder, expect quite a bit less for movie shooting and live view though. + mostly well featured even for a budget model, this has highlight tone priority, auto lighting optimizer, a decent selection of creative styles and you can set the auto iso limit to what you want.(ie iso 1600/3200 etc etc) also has the ability to set your name in the 'copyright information' section which is a small but nice touch.

- Brilliant product
- Excellent base Canon SLR

Excellent Base Canon Slr. I have only had this new canon for a week or so but i can already tell that it's going to be a major step up from the compact cameras i have been using since the digital age arrived. Easy to use and intuitive it takes excelllent, sharp pictures on fully automatic and the is lens makes low light shots easy. .
Canon 1100d. Great starter camera. Cheap and easy to use, but if you are going to get serious you could out grow it. But great camera. .
Brilliant D-Slr For a Bargain Price. Fantastic pictures with the kit lens, complete with is. A real taste of professional photography on a budget. Plenty of lenses available to expand its capabilities. Highly recommended. .

Conclusion of Canon EOS 1100D EF-S IS II Lens 12MP SLR Camera 2
I shot with the eos 1100d for a week so i will convey my thoughts about this camera. The 1100d is the cheapest entry point into canon's dslr range. My pros and cons are as followspros:+ price, yes it's cheap and one of the best prices on a dslr at the entry point i've ever seen (update 04/14 - it's the cheapest i've ever seen on a dslr)+ image quality is 'good' few users will be unhappy here with nice tonality and good colours, good jpeg processing even at high iso levels+ good low light performance, the 12mp sensor delivers decent images even at iso 3200, and with care and in raw iso 6400 is not bad either (iso 6400 is the max here but i can't say i'd find higher that useful in aps-c cameras)+ has exposure bracketing of +/- 2 stops 3 shots (note the nikon equivalents have no exposure bracketing d3100/d3200 an important point for some)+ supoorts hss useful for fill flash shooting outside with a dedicated flash+ decent battery life. + mostly well featured even for a budget model, this has highlight tone priority, auto lighting optimizer, a decent selection of creative styles and you can set the auto iso limit to what you want.No metering is perfect, but this is quite consistent and predictable one of the better elements to have found their way down the canon dslr range+ decent jpegs most will be happy to shoot jpeg bar at the higher iso levels.
It's not canon 7d for af speed (not unexpected) but the speed is fine at this price and more importantly the accuracy is in my view a good margin better than the nikon entry models. These are quite a bit better and pretty sharp+ live view is decent (v the nikon's live view which is poor) don't expect fast contrast af but you can at least get a histogram and change aperture in live view mode. Not unexpected on an entry model jpeg shooting is satisfactory with a fast sd card (45mb sandisk) (about 15-17 shots), raw is a bit below what you expect around 5 shots. This is below what you would expect for even an entry model. If you tripod mount the camera, depending on how big the plate is you might have to remove the camera to get at the card.
The quality is perfectly fine, but things have moved on here, no af for video either- no sensor cleaning unit. I didn't notice many problems after a week of use, but this model lacks the sensor cleaning that the higher priced canon's have (ie 600d) this is actually a downgrade from the eos 1000d (which does have it) a slightly odd move but worth a mention. Balancing out the good and bad points and taking into account the good price of this camera. Overall i quite liked the camera because at this price it delivers nice images, is reasonably well featured for this price thus delivering a decent 'bang per buck'. On the other hand this segment has moved on, and the rather weedy raw frame rate/buffer, somewhat outdated video mode, and clearly some corners cut regarding the build and quality of the camera as well as a rather sub par viewfinder.
For a video shooter i would suggest alternatives by moving up the eos range to the 600d (which is also quite well priced but adds more here)for a stills shooter looking at various makers and models this has a bit more to get into v the entry nikon cameras (it has bracketing and more flash functions as well as more core photographic features) some might find 12mp again a little dated, but for many users 12mp is just fine for decent sized prints. If you want more room to 'grow' hunt out a good price on a canon 600d (a step up in many ways). This camera is a bit of a bargain in most ways. 14:to reflect the even lower price (lowest ever seen in the uk on a dslr) i'm giving it 4 stars (over my original 3)there is a newer eos 1200d out, which has more megapixels, a better lcd and a few other improved areas (at a higher price)for many users the 12 megapixels is just fine, i've had some excellent prints off of my 6mp dslr's in the past, at 12mp you will have no problems printing at large sizes. For users wanting to 'cut their teeth' a bit more in photography, or moving up possibly from a bridge model or other camera, this is a good place to start.
Even if you never buy anything else with the camera, it's a great learning tool. Even with the kit lens, you'll see a notable improvement in the image quality over a simlar priced compact/bridge model. This camera has the best rating on major sites as starter camera this is why i've choose it. I have only had this new canon for a week or so but i can already tell that it's going to be a major step up from the compact cameras i have been using since the digital age arrived. Good camera for someone like me,who is stepping up from a bridge camera to a entry level dslr. As canon have launched anouther dslr the price of the 1100d has fallen to make it a much easier option to buy. The body isn`t as good a quality as my old camera. An excellent camera for the semi-amateur users.
This product was recommended to me by a friend and i'm so happy i bought it, great price and absolutely quality product. I haven't had chance to used it a great deal except around and about but the quality seems fine.
Brilliant Product. This product was recommended to me by a friend and i'm so happy i bought it, great price and absolutely quality product. I'm very happy with my purchase. .
Value For Money. Having bought an 1100d for family use, i found my husband considered it his own and wasn't happy to share it. Because of the excellent value for money, we bought a second kit which keeps everyone happy. .
