Canon Rebel T3i VS Sony a55: Does anyone have any experience with either of these?

Im debating between those 2 as well, I always loved canon lenses, image quality in my opinion always outranked Sony. But recently my father bought the Sony a55 and image quality is amazing, my 12 year old sister took some pictures with it, and they look like done by a pro. Any help from experienced pros please!!!!, thanks in advance, I appreciate it!!

I really cannot compare lenses since I use a Canon T5i but I started using the Tamron 18-270 lens with a Canon XTI. It was the only lens I took on my trip to Alaska and it did the job. Pictures were fantastic. Later using a Canon T3i I took it to Minnesota and captured amazing shots of bald eagles. The zoom worked like it should and all pictures were crisp and clean with great color. The focus is fast and accurate even in video mode. Hope this helps.

I have a SD550 as well, I'm getting a Canon G9, seems to be a good all around performer from what I've read, little bigger than 550 but not as big as a Digital SLR. I plan to use it when I'm looking for better pics than 550 can provide.

Ignore Ryan's comment that this is basically the T3i. The Rebel T5 replaces the Rebel T3 while the Rebel T5i replaced the T4i. Rebel T5 are budget cameras, Rebel T5i are entry level cameras, Rebel 70D are considered mid-range cameras, and the 7D and 5D Mark III are considered semi-pro/professional cameras.

Yes, I have the 550D (T2i,Kiss X4) and it works great; a simple & reliable flash that does the job.

I have had the t3i and now currently own the t4i... My wife LOVES the t4i, especially with the STM lens. The touch screen is really pretty cool and the live view mode is leaps and bounds more responsive than the t3i.

The t3i isnt a heavy camera. I used it with my d7000 and a heavier leans without an issue.

DEFINITELY go with the T5i. I was thinking the same, but the extra features, newer & better tech, MANUAL video mode (light settings) and such were a great addition. This camera is great for the starting shooter or amateur. I went from little knowledge to taking masterpieces. Go for the T5i. You won't regret it.

Ended up buying canon T1i instead of T3... will be in my hands next week. Bought it from Walmart for 629. Amazon price was 709 for the same camera. Letting you guys know if anyone is interested in buying Canon T1i. it is a 15MP camera with 720p video at 30fps and 1080p with 20fps. I really don't care for video part but it was really good deal compared to what best buy or amazon was asking for same camera.

The T3i is a better camera with more features and a better, more modern sensor. The T3 is a budget model which uses older generation technology and leaves out a number of features. Plus the 75-300mm lens isn't very good -- you'd be better off with the 55-250mm IS lens which has IS Image Stabilization useful for fighting blurring.

Canon T3 is an AMAZING CAMERA, I would recommend everyone to buying it, ive had nikon before and im not as satisfied with it like i am with canon...

I'm not that familiar with the T4i but I believe it is superseded by the T5i. I'm very impressed with the auto focus video on the 70D. you might compare all features and determine which are of value to you before selecting a model. Both will take exceptional photos.

It works with my A55 it should work with the A57 but it is not recognized as a sony flash. Which means in very dark situations you wont be able to see anything through the viewfinder. There is a bunch of tricks online in how to work around this issue. For the price i say is still a good deal compare to the sony flash.

I had the t3i to begin with and it is FINE for most photography. I take a lot of action shots...football, basketball, track and volleyball... and they were not very sharp with the t3i. The t5i is much better for my needs. I use the lens that came with the t3i for my t5i and also bought another telephoto lens. So my answer would be that it depends upon what you are going to use it for.

The A2500 is pretty great! My friend and my sister both have it and they love it! It actually has a lot of features/modes if you search through the camera. At first glance, it doesn't look like it can do much, but there are so many cool settings and functions--a lot like my canon powershot A470

Hi. Yes to the a550. I'm not sure what you are asking in the second part of the question.
