    1. hey guys i know my previous thread is about non-dslr but i asked my parents and they agreed to buy a dslr for me :D
      now im confused between canon rebel t3 or the new t4i since theres only like 200$ difference..which should I buy? I mainly will use it for doll shoot and face ups. but I'm not sure maybe ill really like photography and want to do more with it. :sweat

    2. do you mean the T3i or just the T3?

      I just bought a T3i (my first DSLR) and so far I love it <3 even in the auto mode the pictures are really lovely (I'm taking a photography class so I can learn to use the other creative settings better)

    4. If you don't sweat the cash, T4i. If you do, T3. Simple as that. Both will perform similarly for the part that matters: taking pictures.

      If it turns out you don't like photography much, then you'll spend less with the T3. If you do want to continue, you can spend the money you saved on additional lenses which you will most certainly want anyway.

    6. I have a T3 and I love it. :) Like gaiaswill said, if you can afford it, go for the T4i, but if you don't enjoy it, then you would have less money invested. :) After all you can always upgrade with lenses and eventually different bodies if you wanna! :D

    7. You should check out dpreview.com - it's a great site that offers side by side comparisons of cameras, reviews, and galleries of owners' photos.
      I put the T3 and T4i side by side for you.
      I don't know which features are the most important to you, but I hope this helps make the decision a little easier :)
