Got the 600D as a gift when I was 14 years old. Incredibly grateful to have a video of ways to keep it up to date without breaking my bank, thanks for this

Very cool! Glad to hear it's still in use! Still takes great pictures too!

T3i has been my first and only camera for so long (more than a decade) and I have used it to the max, thousands and thousands of photos, especially when I started my focus on street photography. I still use it till today and it held up in my last trip as well! will finally get a new camera by the end of the year but I have to say thank you for your service!

I’m here because I received this camera as a gift, along with two lenses. I’m new to using it and have no idea what I’m doing. The camera was given to me because I want to create video content for beauty shots, focusing on hair and makeup on myself and also on my clients since I’m a cosmetologist. I definitely want to start taking photos of my clients’ hair once I’m done styling it. I’m excited to learn and improve my skills with this camera, so thank you for providing this content

Just bought the second hand of it with tele lens for only 90 bucks. The quality is pretty good for it's age and i wanna buy some lenses for it. Thanks for the recommendation

I bought the t3i when I was 15 and I got the 55-250mm for a Christmas gift when I was 17! I loved it when I went on a trip to France but haven’t used my camera since I was maybe 21. I recently started using my canon for work since I do hair and want to upgrade my lens for my work, and was debating on getting a 50mm Lens. this video was very helpful! Thank u sm🥰

Glad I could help! I think the 55-250mm STM would be a really solid choice!

I'm still sporting a 20d, a Rebel XTi, and a T1i. I have the 55-250 IS STM and it is closest of all EF-S lenses to deserving a red stripe.😁

Nice! I really like it too, covers a LOT of shooting situations. You’ve got a collection of some classics! I have sold more XT/XTi cameras than any other camera on eBay.

Ha cool. I had every Rebel T camera starting with the XT all the way up to the T8i. Ive shot national magazine layouts with a T3i and the Nifty Fifty back in the day. Probably the biggest one was a layout for Muscle and Fitness magazine with a 2010 Playmate. Good times. I actually still have a T5i I'll probably give away at some point. Ive always liked the Rebel series.

Thank you for the video-I was in the market for a new camera body upgrade from my T3 until I was advised my money was better spent on upgrading my lenses. Can you recommend a good lens for wildlife photography? I live in Florida and would like something with crisp detail and good zoom capability. Thank you!

Which one would you suggest for a lens that would be decent for both indoor/outdoor family photography, maternity, newborn etc. I have the 50 mm and it is amazing for outdoor portraits, but I am struggling with it when I am taking pictures of more people at once, and it is also difficult for indoor since I am limited to how far I can back up for the shot

Gotcha- I would consider the canon 24mm lens as a fixed lens option with good background bokeh, or the canon 18-135mm lens which will give you a more in focus total image and a lot of variability in optical range.

I love this camera, but i'm trying to find some Gimbal that goes with this model and the 50mm 1.8 lens. Anyone could recommend me any specific gimbal for this combo?

Sir, I have a Canon 650D camera with an 18-55mm lens, but its focus is not fast. Can you recommend a wide-angle lens with a very fast focus for videography based on your experience?

Has one tried the sigma 16mm on it ? Link video footage

Hello,what lens do you recommend for sports photography for this camera. I'd like to be able to zoom in for my child and get action shots. TY!

I really like the Canon 55-250mm IS STM lens that is one of the 3 lenses showcased in the video, gives you great optical range, and it's a very fast lens for nature and sports photography.

Would this also be good for a rebel t3 I have an new to the camera Game and recently got one off marketplace

the T3 uses the same lens mount, what's different is when the T3i was released it was a low mid-range camera, and the Rebel T3 while 2 years newer is a camera that cost $300 when it was new which made it a budget camera, its a lower resolution (12mp) but still takes great photos with enough practice, the Rebel T3 is the 1st DSLR I bought new and I am 75,000 photos into its life and still have fun using it despite having a newer camera as my main.

Hi, do you have any tips on how to avoid/improve the autofocus jumping back and forth during video recording with this camera?

@pricklypearcamera

2 ай бұрын

A big part of the jumping back and forth is the depth of field and lighting conditions, does this happen more-so with specific lenses that you have? I've experienced this a bit somewhat too, but if you have a fixed focal distance; you are in front of the camera, you can flip to manual, focus properly, and then you wouldn't have autofocus jumping around. But if you are utilizing a telephoto or zoom lens at range, given the overall amount of potential focus points, it might do this regardless. The Canon T3i does not have continous autofocus like many newer mirrorless or DSLR cameras which would largely solve that issue.

@@pricklypearcamera Thank you for your answer. I only have one lens. An old "standard lens" of the Canon 350D, it is the Canon EF-S 18-55m. Manual focusing might be difficult when I'm moving. The lighting conditions are normal and the variation in depth of field resulted no change. Maybe I didn't express myself clearly: Lets say I aim at an object. then the AF jumps back and forth to find the correct focus on the object. But is never really in focus.

Hello I have the T3i & am looking for a Lense to do sweet 16. I am searching for a wide angle lens. I have the cannon 75-300 lense and the 18-135 lense. Do you think the first one you mentioned in this vid would work? Also I had a question about the video you mentioned does the camera take video? How ? Please show me. I don’t have the original it came with just those two lenses. I see a what looks like a video camera with Atenas on the dial but when I try to use it with my lenses it says I can’t use it with zoom ones. Does that mean I need to find a original lenses that goes to this to use the video if that’s the video lol help

Hi, no, the lens shouldn't have anything to do with video capability. You should be able to utilize full zoom functionality with any Canon EF/EFS lens that you pair with it. You can download the full T3i manual on Canon's website and it has quite a few pages about video functionality. I do really like the 10-18mm stm lens for a wide angle option on the T3i. One of my favorites to use!

Hi there! Thank you for this information. I'm planning to buy the canon RF 35mm f/1.8 or the canon EF 35mm f/2 , for food and product photography. I've been using the 50 mm for long, but since this camera is not full frame, it's complicated to get the shots because I need to back up a lot and don't get much of the frame. Would the 35 mm improve this? And is there any other one you would recommend? Thank you!

@pricklypearcamera

I think the minimum focus distance for the 35mm F2 is around 10 inches or so. Yes, you are right, the 35mm would give you around a 52mm focal equivalent, so you wouldnt' be quite as far away as the 50mm. The 35mm F2 gives quite a bit of bokeh too if that's what you're after. If you are looking for a variable length lens, I would highly recommend the 18-135mm STM for it's versatility, and ability to get in even closer than the 35mm if you need. It's going to give you less bokeh and blur, and more of an in focus image than the 35mm or 50mm.

I'm looking into photography as my new hobby. Is the T3i a good investment for mid-to-long-term use? The camera is from 10 years ago. Does it shoot in 4k? I'm primarily planning on shooting portraits and Views. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

@pricklypearcamera

Hi! No, the T3i doesn't shoot in 4K, and in fact, it's video functionality is so/so, a new Samsung or Iphone likely has better video performance. If you're looking at getting into photography and it's something you want to pursue, you might consider a newer body that does have 4k, like the Canon EOS R50, which uses canon's new RF series of lenses, and does shoot in 4k. I have been using the R50 for nearly a year now and really enjoy using it. It is more expensive for sure than a used T3i body, but will give you far advanced autofocus, 4k, etc.

Is it wistella

How do I shoot brighter photos with my t3i? Every time I shoot a photo outside it looks grey

You either slowly higher iso to let more light in if that doesn't work then lower aperture slowly until it gets brighter

Thank you. Very useful video. I brought EOS 600D with EF S 18-135mm back in 2013. Used it a bit and kept it away for a long time. In fact recently I was planning to sell it off but after watching your video I decided to keep it and also use it regularly. Can you please suggest a lens for indoor family photos. Thank you.

@pricklypearcamera

Glad it was helpful! For indoor family photos, you might take a look at the Canon 24MM STM lens, very affordable, and on the T3i/600D body, will give you a close to 35mm focal equivalent which is a superb portrait lens!

great video overall but you spent approximatively 3 minutes before you got to the subject of the video , most of the people were already looking for another video by then , get to the point faster next time;
