Just Posted: Our review of the Canon Rebel T3i / EOS 600D enthusiast DSLR. Canon's latest Rebel boasts an 18MP CMOS sensor and an articulated LCD screen in a body shell that combines elements of its predecessor the T2i and the higher-end EOS 60D. As well as the usual complement of manual and auto exposure modes for still photography, the T3i also features 1080p video recording (up to 30fps) with an external microphone socket. On paper, the T3i looks like a bargain - the 60D's internals in a smaller, less expensive body. Is there any reason to still consider its big brother? Read our in-depth review to find out.
