For the opportunity EOS 1100D Camera Review many thanks Tarasu.
Canon EOS 1100D review
This review presents the camera itself. Canon 1100D body. The prefix body means that this is a camera without a lens, and Canon 1100D kit - that the kit comes with a lens. Usually Canon 1100D comes with a kit lens - Canon EF-S 18-55mm f / 3.5-5.6 IS II. On sale you can find cameras with lenses Canon EF-S 18-55mm f / 3.5-5.6 IS and Canon EF-S 18-55mm f / 3.5-5.6 without image stabilization. If you are choosing a camera with a lens, then I recommend choosing the IS II version.

Canon EOS 1100D is amateur cam, from which you can not require any serious indicators of quality and performance, but at the same time, the Canon EOS 1100D is great for amateur shooting. The camera was released in 2011.

The main features of the EOS 1100D, which are worth paying attention to:
The EOS 1100D is an amateur camera made mostly of plastic. It is lightweight, with the EOS 1100D weighing less than 500g. It is not difficult to take such a camera with you on vacation, various events, etc. Usually, professional cameras are quite heavy and do not have automatic modes, so I do not recommend expensive cameras for beginners. The EOS 1100D has a number of presets such as portrait, sports, macro, and more. If you are looking for a camera to replace a conventional digital camera (soap dish), then the EOS 1100D can be a worthy replacement. Of course, there is a lot to squeeze out of the EOS 1100D DSLR camera.

EOS 1100D has on board 12.2 megapixels, which is not much and not little, but just for the ordinary tasks of an amateur photographer. With 12.2 megapixels, you can easily print pictures up to and including A3. I generally do not recommend chasing megapixels. I still use my 6 megapixel camera Nikon D40 and I don’t feel any discomfort. More details in the section Battle of Megapixels.

EOS 1100D - Can shoot at 3 frames per second. True, there are many subtleties here. When using RAW quality images, the camera's rate of fire drops to 2 frames per second, which is very, very low. Only works slower Canon 1000D, Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro and her younger models. The speed of the camera is greatly affected by the frame buffer capacity. The buffer is where the snapshot is placed before being written to the card. Canon EOS 1100D in JPEG format can buffer 9 frames, in RAW mode - only 5. Note: if you enable all additional functions, such as noise reduction at high ISO, noise reduction at long exposures, the buffer will be able to hold 3 RAW files and only one JPEG file. After the buffer overflows, BUSY appears in the viewfinder or display, which is very annoying.

Canon 1100D can use ISO 100 to 6400, non-expandable. Auto ISO control available. True, you can select ISO only in whole steps: 100, 200, 400, 800, etc. The camera cannot boast of a silent picture at high ISO values. At low ISO, the image quality is quite good. Here Example shot at maximum ISO 6400 without processing.

The camera has a built-in flash, which is sometimes very useful. The camera’s display is large enough. 2.7 in, and 230.000 points.
Canon EOS 1100D sample photo
The Canon 1100D uses 9-point focus, the center point of the cross-shaped type. This is quite enough for many tasks. Auto focus is very dependent on the lens and shooting conditions. The Canon 1100D supports three focus modes.
Canon 1100D sample photo
Canon 1100D can shoot video in 720p, 1280 × 720 quality for up to 17 minutes, or until the video file is larger than 4GB. You can set the video recording rate to 29.97 or 25 fps. This quality is quite enough for viewing on a computer. Personally, I don't like it when the video weighs very, very much and takes up half of the hard drive. Please note that the camera does not support control of video settings such as aperture, excerpt, the video itself always uses the automatic settings suggested by the camera. When shooting video, autofocus is available when you press the shutter button halfway. Auto focus for the video wants the best.
Canon 1100D sample photo
Canon 1100D has a mode live view, this is the ability to take pictures like a regular digital camera. True, auto focus in this mode is very, very slow.
Canon 1100D sample photo
The Canon 1100D has a lot of different useful things, such as managing image quality, different image settings, an interesting feature of the priority of light tones.
Canon 1100D sample photo
The camera uses SD cards (SD, SDHC, SDXC), in fact, you can use a card of any size. A JPEG file L weighs about 7MB, a RAW (CR2) file weighs from 14 to 25MB. Such a huge weight surprised me.

Personal experience
You can control the Canon 1100D with one hand. All buttons are located to the right of the display. This is quite unusual, but does not cause any inconvenience. I liked the camera, simple, with an accessible interface. True, focusing on Live View is very slow. The camera normally measures exposure, even with manual lenses. You can always find fault with something, but it’s better to remember that important how to take pictures, but not by what means.

In comments Can I ask you a question on the topic and you will answer, and you can also express your opinion or describe your experience. Many little things for a photo can be found on AliExpress.
Conclusions:
Canon EOS 1100D Is a decent entry-level amateur camera. The camera is attracted by the possibility of shooting video.
More examples of photos and source files from it can be found in the lens overview Canon Zoom Lens EF 28-80mm 1: 3.5-5.6 II.

If I vibrated the camera and then tested it, I didn’t vouch for it. Do not lie in the hands, but my sub-active thought, you can just as well as your soul.
As always excellent? understandable review, I think people who still choose what to buy from this price range of DSLRs will be very useful) PS: now you can buy a camera up to 4k Ukrainian money (kit is II)
gorgeous squirrel
I bought this camera with a whale lens in early summer. This is my first SLR, and with it I am learning to shoot. Recently I bought 50 1.8 for her in the place of a whale. And in principle, I am very pleased with the camera, and the pictures that I get from it. A good device, for the money.
Your opinion is interesting. Which entry-level DSLR do you enjoy working with? Nikon d3100 or d3000 VS Canon 1100d?
I’m more used to Nikons, therefore, it’s difficult for me to judge objectively.
My opinion: at the price of the 1100d, the competitor is d3000, and 3100 is a bit more expensive, by the way I had the same choice, I chose the last option and am quite satisfied, I can not compare these 3 cameras since I shot only at 1 = D
Most of all, I also liked the 3100. But each camera is worthy of attention.
Arkady !!! Do you by any chance plan to write about how to shoot underwater? What equipment is needed, etc. etc…. Thinking about vacation)))
I would not refuse, but I do not understand anything about this.
Arkady, do you plan to write an article about shooting under water?
I’m planning an article, but before that I myself need to learn how to shoot well under water, and this, I think, will not be soon.
Once a mov has come about opening a photo-song, then I would like to be glad about a photo-autumn. Although they wanted to see you, they shared a better view of the landscape. From me, for example, recently having flicked on a garnish landscape, de sonnichnye promenades, there were a lot of leaves of a tree and fell to the ground, I either bachy yogo garno, and as I knew the beauty of the camera, then I can see the sleepy prominences in the photograph (so I’ve seen three photos in a nutshell). Also please be glad to see the autumn season, I think it’s a good idea for a lot of photography lovers (: I’ll write a simple article about the special features of the main photos, I’ll be a little douchey::
As soon as there is time, I will try to write in general terms.
Nothing to do with the kidney, but the kidney of us (don’t think about me.
Very unbiased and interesting review
Are you interested in a review of canin 30d?
Of course I'm interested.
wonderful nature photos! because of such successful shots, the impression was that it was an excellent prof. camera))
Good day! I have a question. How to enable Mirror Lockup?
To clean the matrix, there is a “clean manually” function, while the mirror is immediately fixed in
up position and the shutter opens.
Thank you!
Which canon model is the best?
Nice Canon 1Dx, but a bit heavy.
Well, of course not a bad camera for 6500s!
6D
And for beginners?
Canon 650D will be a non-chemical option, although even 1100D will allow you to get good photos.
Is the nikon 3100d better than canon 1100d?
We can only speak for better or worse according to certain parameters, in general, these are just different cameras.
Tell me how to drop your style settings (files with the pf2 extension) into the device.
I did not do this, I can’t tell you, maybe some of the readers of the blog will answer.
Using the software on the disk that came with the camera. In my opinion, that's what it's called - Picture Style editor or something like that
Thank you for the excellent reviews of photographic equipment and lenses. As for the 1100d, I’ve been shooting for a year now and am pleased with the quality of the pictures. The camera works very well with manual optics. My Helios 77-4m works great on 1100d photos, I get super photos from it. And the whale lens, as you correctly wrote when using the chalk approach to photography, gives an excellent result. Thanks again for your reviews.
Hello! I have a Nikon 3100 for 2 years already, in the settings I figured out what aperture is, shutter speed, light sensitivity, I know and how to work with these too. Lenses used 18-55, 55-200 and 50. I want something better (it seems that over time, the quality is no longer something), or just tired of it. What would you advise to take? Thought to switch to canon (1100d or 600d) ... is it worth it? 1100d in terms of parameters is no different, the price attracts .. and 600d seems to be nothing. I thought I would just take the carcass, and then we fix it at 35 or 40, I like these angles more ... help me with the choice, thanks in advance! with SW. Anastasia.
I do not recommend changing the 3100 to 1100 and 600d.
Thank you very much! Can you advise something from the nikon line? or some budget but good lens. I shoot more landscapes and people ... thanks in advance

I would add that the 1100D to 600D should not be changed.
That's what I don’t advise taking, is this camera) In the photo she has a metal mount. in fact, this is not so, it is plastic) Yes, and Arkady, it would be better if you looked at this camera with a whale, and showed all the horror of the situation)
Maybe you mean the plastic mount of the whale lens?
No, it’s the plastic mount of the camera itself) My friend really wanted a DSLR, but there was almost no money, so he bought this miracle. I also thought it was a fake, but he showed the box, all the holograms, the official guarantee, everything is there. As you said earlier, you can take excellent photos on this camera, which is an order of magnitude better than any compact, even such as NEX5, but that's it
If not difficult, send a photo of this plastic mount.
Where did you see the plastic mount on the carcass of this camera ????? I have 1100D before my eyes, the metal mount and I myself did not change it :)
Wait until the photo is sent.
I do not know, I bought a year ago, the production of Taiwan. COST METAL. After a soap dish the camera is SATISFIED.
... I didn't like it anyway. It feels small and very plastic.
You are mistaken: the 1000D has a plastic mount, and the 1100D has a metal mount ... And the plastic mount is not particularly bad))) Canon used a plastic mount in some cameras in film times.
A good camera, on the LV mode, to be honest, somehow ** us, because it is completely unnecessary :))
The ability to record video is very attractive, and the video is of good quality :) it is a pity that there is no manual video setting. I use the Canon 1100D with lenses 75-300, 18-55 (kit) and Helios 44-2 2/58 (mostly with it, I really like the bokeh). You can squeeze very high-quality and good photos from it, start to make noise somewhere after the iso 400, so it’s better to take pictures at 100-200, set the shutter speed or open the aperture :) Here’s not enough tripod :( since it starts to blur with a shutter speed of more than 1 / 60
It lies comfortably in your hand, the battery lasts for quite a normal time, unfortunately there is no battery pack on it. A sufficient number of settings in manual mode for a camera of this level.
And why is the battery pack, it has a good battery.
shoot in RAW then with iso1600 no problem you can get decent photos by strangling regular noise reduction
Greetings. Explain whether the 1100D has a “screwdriver”?
The term screwdriver does not apply to Canon cameras.
Sorry. And what is the name of the motor built into the camera body, or does the kenon have the same separation as the nikon - autofocus with a motor in the camera and without it?
Canon has no such separation.
Privat.Hotiv spitati.Chi Kenon 40d (b) y Vartiy respect, with more than Kenon 1100d new? І yak suttєva vіdmіnnіst mіd them? Avtom.Tsina Mayzhe Odnakova. I will be a drowsy one for vidov.
All the manual adjustments in this unit are present, even more than necessary.
It depends on what condition the 40D is in: this is an excellent camera, but it does not shoot video, unlike the 1100D (if this is important to you), although on alternative firmware, although this is bad, it is possible that it is dust and moisture resistant, the body is metal , the rate of fire is higher. In general, these are cameras of completely different classes ... The image quality will be better in the 1100D, at least in terms of noise it will win, and its resolution is higher. Therefore, if you choose between the killed 40d and the new

Therefore, if you choose between the killed 40d and the new 1100d, then the second one is definitely better, but if they sell 40d with a small shot, then I would most likely choose it.
firstly, the camera is new, secondly there is no problem finding batteries, the functionality is at least no worse, even the whale 18-55 DC III has a higher resolution, thirdly, you can stupidly insert a microSD card into the adapter from your mobile phone (40D COMPACTFLASH). And in the end, a lot of automatic modes that would not bother the code is not in the mood.
For beginners, the 1100d camera is just a dream! Hints are everywhere in the settings. The video is not bad. I highly recommend it. This is my first DSLR. I got fed up with the whale lens, I bought Helios 44-2 for a penny. Great shots come out.
I bought a Canon 1100d, before that I shot a soap box, but there are so many bells and whistles, it's hard to figure it out, the photo turns out muddy and not clear, in general, not what I expected on which site you can learn?
