Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm IS II Lens + Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens

I got it to take pictures of my oil art projects, which did not come out good on a regular digital camera it arrived super fast, it is quite easy for beginner to figure out, at the right setting you can see the finest detail and the colors match which is hard to capture on an oil painting when photographing it. I took few random pictures and I think I will use this camera for more than my paintings. In addition to fast shipping, it has come with few gifts I did not expect, It included a Zeikos ZE-CA48B Deluxe Soft Medium Camera and Video Bag , Zeikos ZE-BLR Deluxe Dust Blower (Black) which smells a bit of rubber, but cant complain about free stuff, and Dane-Elec 8 GB Class 4 SDHC Flash Memory Card DA-SD-8192-R which i expected from canon, they always give you one. One note: It did come with the Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm IS II Lens + Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens I am not sure if you get these with the cheaper version of the camera. I wil augment this post if anything goes wrong

When I bought a Canon Rebel 35 mm 15 years ago, I paid a little more than I did for this package and that was not including a zzoom lense back then. I dabble in photography with a desire to be somewhat good some day. This camera makes you want to take pictures and figure out all the tricks the camera is capable of. Having read many many reviews on this product I also took the advice of another happy owner and purchased "David Busch's Compact Filed Guide for the Can EOS Rebel T3" and am very impressed with its simplicity and ability to guide me through my camera's many capabilities. My only additional commentary at thsi time is to say that the few pictures I have taken thus far and a great reminder of why I loved my Canon Rebel 35mm - the quality is amazing......I highly recommend this product. Happy Customer!!

Wonderful camera that takes amazing pictures with little to no effort! I thoroughly enjoy snapping photos at any event or occasion, and the feel of the camera is fantastic! It's true there has been more advancements in digital cameras since this particular one came out in 2011, but this camera is great for me (an intermediate photographer). It's not to big, easy to transport, and comfortable to wear around the neck. The zoom lens is wonderful and I can take pictures of wildlife with ease! The small problem I had was, sometimes when I try to take a photo with the flash, it randomly blinks and doesn't even take a picture, so I just end up turning the dial to the no flash setting. Other than that, an amazing camera that's definitely worth the buy.

LOVE the camera, just didn't like the price. I was unaware at the time that the newest model (Canon Rebel t5i) could have been gotten for CHEAPER than this! Rip off. And I couldn't send the product back.

I received this camera with a telephoto lens for Christmas. I really enjoy the info screens that come up with each different mode. It has made my taking pictures at horse shows easier. My previous camera was stolen a couple of months ago and I had always struggled getting the right setting with the right lighting with indoor arenas and covered arenas with backlighting. The camera gave me information that I used to experiment until I found the right settings to stop the action of the horses jumping over fences without all of the blurring motion. I even switched to the video mode and shot their courses with the video. My down side was getting the focus just right in the video mode. I had 2 videos that came out and 1 that I stuggled with the focus. All of the kids that I was with enjoyed the pics and video to study their performances. Another thing that I liked about the camera is the weight. This camera and lens is much lighter than my previous camera. I started using the autofocus more on this camera than I had on my previous due to the quickness of the focusing. I was able to go from each jump to the next and get the camera to focus quickly. Someone else at our barn had received a different Canon EOS (not the T3) and she didn't know which settings to use to achieve the same photos that I was getting. I was able to help her set up her camera so that she was able to get the same quality as I was getting. The quick screens help, especially for those of us that don't have the patience to "read the manual." I want to take the camera and experiment with it until I get the desired results.

I love the Canon brand, having used their professional line of cameras and lenses in a previous workplace for quite a few years. I bought this camera for my wife. Although it's a consumer model (toward the high end), it works very well. We've had a lot of fun with it, mostly for nature and travel photography. As with any DSLR camera, the quality of images you get has a *lot* to do with the lenses you purchase for it, and it's not unusual that the lenses cost more than the camera body — potentially a lot more. If you're going to use this outdoors like we did, be sure to get a really great telephoto lens. And spend some time learning the concepts of SLR (aperture, shutter speed, etc.), because otherwise you won't really benefit from the power or capabilities of a camera like this.
