As the entry point to Canon’s DSLR range, the 1100D sits below the older yet still available 550D and the more recent 600D as a sort of bare-bones version of these more advanced entry-level models.

The 1100D is aimed primarily at first-time DSLR buyers on a budget, and at compact users looking to upgrade to a DSLR they can expand their knowledge of photography with. As such, you’d expect ease-of-use to figure quite highly, along with the ability to deliver the same high image quality that’s come to be associated with Canon DSLRs. However, given the price, it’s also reasonable to expect the omission of some of the more advanced features found on more expensive DSLRs.

Indeed, with the 1100D this is pretty much what you get. As a direct replacement for the 1000D that was launched back in 2008, the 1100D enjoys several notable upgrades over its predecessor, while some of the features found on recent Canon models located higher up the range are unsurprisingly absent too.

The 1100D’s list of upgrades over the 1000D include an extra 2MP of resolution, a more powerful and up-to-date image processor, a larger rear LCD monitor, an expanded sensitivity range, and the ability to record movies. In addition, the 1110D also benefits from the same nine-point AF module and 63-zone evaluative metering system of the 600D.

In many other areas though, the 1100D is very much the younger brother of the 600D. For example the 600D has an 18MP sensor, a larger and clearer tilt-and-swivel LCD monitor, and an automatic vibration-based dust reduction system – all of which the 1100D lacks. The 1100D also lacks the Scene Intelligent Auto shooting mode and post-capture Creative Filter effects of the 600D. It is, as we already said, very much a bare-bones version.
As to its direct rivals from other manufacturers, well, there aren’t all that many. The three standouts would have to be the thoroughly excellent Nikon D3100 (£430 and currently subject to a £40 cashback deal), along with the feature-laden Pentax K-r (£400) and the cheap-as-chips Sony A290 (£350). What is surprising, though, is that only a couple of years ago you could get an entry level DSLR for under £300. Even accounting for inflation, it’s a bit of a shame that downward trend hasn’t continued. Clearly competition from advanced
compacts and compact
system cameras has caused manufacturers to rethink their pricing structures.

Does the 1100D have what it takes to keep up with these beginner-friendly rivals, or even leave them in its wake? Let’s take a closer look and find out…

Canon EOS 1100D is a 12.2-megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera announced by Canon on 7 February 2011.^[1] It is known as the EOS Kiss X50 in Japan and the EOS Rebel T3 in the Americas. The 1100D is Canon's most basic entry-level DSLR, and introduces movie mode to other entry level DSLRs. It replaced the 1000D and is also the only Canon EOS model currently in production that is not made in Japan but in Taiwan, aside from the EOS Rebel T4i.

Dials[edit]

Creative Zone[edit]

Canon Eos 1100d Amazon

• A-DEP (Auto Depth-of-field AE): The camera automatically selects the aperture and shutter speed to keep most of the image in focus. (Only recommended in high light conditions as the camera tends to choose smaller f/stops)
• M (Manual): The camera lets you choose manually the aperture and shutter speed.
• Av (Aperture priority): The camera lets the user choose the aperture (f/) value and then automatically adjusts the shutter speed for correct exposure.
• Tv (Shutter speed priority): The camera lets the user set the shutter speed and automatically sets the aperture for correct exposure.
• P (Program AE): The camera automatically chooses an aperture and shutter combination for correct exposure and the user can change between one of these combinations.

Basic Zone[edit]

• Full Auto (represented with a green rectangle): Completely automatic shooting.
• Creative Auto: is a camera setting that's designed to aid new users in achieving good quality results without having to learn and understand all of the camera's functions and how exposure is set.
• No Flash: All automatic with no flash.
• Portrait: The camera attempts to create a more shallow depth of field to create more striking portraits.
• Landscape: For shooting landscapes and sunsets.
• Close-Up: For shooting small objects near to the camera.
• Sports: For capturing fast moving objects.
• Night Portrait: Shoots with flash and with slow shutter so that the subject is illuminated by the flash and the background (e.g. a city) is also captured naturally in the night.

Video recording[edit]

The 1100D captures 720p video, it does not have continuous auto-focus while filming video; to keep a moving subject in focus the user must either trigger the auto-focus, as when shooting stills, or manually adjust the focus while recording.
