Hands On
Rating (Source: CNET)
3.5 stars out of 5
The good: Unsurprisingly, the Canon EOS Rebel T3 delivers excellent photo quality.
The bad: Average performance, a nothing-but-the-basics feature set and claustrophobic viewfinder leave the camera an uninspiring shooter.
The bottom line: Though it's a perfectly fine entry-level camera, there are better options for the money than the Canon EOS Rebel T3.
