Budding photographers can get an entry-level professional DSLR camera without breaking the bank in the Canon Rebel T3i.

The newest addition to the popular Rebel family, the T3i is a smaller DSLR camera, making it easily portable in your backpack while touring lost highways and sightseeing along the way. The 18-megapixel-resolution camera can also capture high-definition video and is compatible with all of Canon’s EF and EF-S lenses. A large vari-angle LCD screen is designed so that users can flip the screen for those difficult overhead or low-angle shots. Unique in-camera features include options that allow users to add a soft focus filter effect, a grainy black-and-white filter, a vignetting and colour-shift filter and a miniature-effect filter—all without altering the original JPEG file.
