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.

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

    • I was using searxng for about a year , self hosted, but results were starting to timeout and eventually it became unusable so I switched to degoog. Much better for my needs, more polished and add-ons like maps and calculations etc

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
