| Bottom line | It doesn't stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS Rebel XSi delivers on performance and photo quality. | Though it's a perfectly fine entry-level camera, there are better options for the money than the Canon EOS Rebel T3. | For the money, the Canon EOS Rebel T3i is a great choice for dSLR videographers--though the cheaper T2i can still suffice if you don't need the articulated LCD--and it's a solid choice for creative still shooters. But though the image quality and general shooting performance are top-notch, if you're upgrading to capture sports, kids, or pets, the T3i may not be able to keep up. | It doesn't stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS Rebel XSi delivers on performance and photo quality. | The Nikon D5200 makes a great choice for family and vacation photographers. |
