The editors didn't like
Images on the soft side
And kit lenses only make matters worse
Redeye a problem
No way to remove it in playback mode
Very slow contrast detect autofocus in live view
Unremarkable continuous shooting mode
No fulltime autofocus in movie mode
Below average battery life
Body gets scratched very easily
Dynamic range is not up to par with the best APS-C sensors
No microfocus adjustment
Very warm auto white balance indoors
Sluggish startup and mode switching
Only center AF point is cross-type
While the Canon 60D has all nine cross-type (for those ...
Extremely slow Live View mode
Not as fast as the T2i
Images aren't as sharp
Lacks live creative filters
Live view AF is slow
Priced very close to the EOS 60D
Some physical controls (such as Display button) oddly placed
Lack of single button movie recording
Auto White Balance struggles in most indoor lighting conditions--a traditional Canon weakness
If you shoot both still and video
The T3i's controls can be frustrating to operate
And it's not terribly fast for burst shooting sports
Kids
Or pets
Tends to run warm indoors
Video is good but focusing is cumbersome
No burst mode in A+ auto
Obtuse user interface
Sluggish AF during Live View and video recording
Modest 3.7fps shooting and small RAW buffer
Average 9-point AF system and viewfinder
Still no continuous AF for movies
Models on either side may be better for some photographers.
Abstract: I had the chance to shoot with the Canon T3i for a couple of days and the following comments are based on my experience with the camera. In some ways it's an easy camera to review because the T2i, T3i, EOS 60D and EOS 7D all use essentially the sam...
The Rebel T3i continues the tradition of the entry-level line of Canon DSLRs by staying at the top of the pile – although, it is closely surrounded by the likes of the Nikon D5100 and the T3i’s bigger, badder brother, the 60D. For those who are lookin...

The Canon EOS Rebel T3i (also known as the EOS-600D) is a very capable entry-level digital SLR. In most respects, it's not a huge leap over its predecessor, though the rotating LCD is definitely a great addition. The camera offers very good photo qual...
Canon is a leader in both camera and camcorder products, so it should come to no surprise that the Rebel T3i is one of the better video-capable DSLRs we've seen. We lauded the Canon 7D's video performance last year, and the T3i came close to match...
One word comes to mind when discussing the Canon Rebel T3i: safe. Canon certainly found a very appealing formula with the T2i and is not looking to spoil the recipe by changing too much. While Canon’s certainly still the name to beat in the entry-leve...
