is the Canon rebel t3 a decent starter?


Recommended Posts

I've been wanting to get a camera for awhile now, and when I was at frys today I noticed they had a rebel t3 kit for $400. I was wondering how it compares to some other entry level dslr's. for the most part im intrested in night time photography. I could also use the lenses my brother has for his camera, which would be nice

I suggest comparing camera's

The t3 should be a decent contender in the DSLR market.

The biggest factor would really be the lenses.. if you've got good glass then you'll be fine with the t3

This shot was taken with a t3

If I had 1500 dollars I'd get the Canon 5D Mk II lol.. I'd say the t3 would be good for your price range

I ended up getting it today, even came with a bag and memory card! so far I am loving it, though by the time I got home it was starting to get dark and I dont know how to use it all that well without flash at night.

Bump the ISO up at night and slower shutter speed.. and lower aperture on the lens :p I don't really shoot much at night, but I've not used the pop-up flash once at night

I ended up getting some decent shots of the stars, but its a pain to focus since I can't see the moon.

Which tripod? lol I believe the link didn't post for some reason

at least you dont have my current one, I think it was about $5 but just thrown in with the camera. I am just wanting to get away from the city and have some actual darkness.

what type of camera do you have?

LOL you should have seen my last tripod.. it was tiny and aluminium, had my camera on it one day.. the weight just took the pan head and took it to the ground... snapping it off..

I have the Canon EOS Rebel t2i, got it for about 700 bucks without a lens... and I bought the 50mm 1.8 for around $100.. I really want to get the 50mm 1.4, just because it has the better focus ring.. and it's 1.4 aperture lol

    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/
