I bought this camera and it is my first SLR. Always being interested in photography and being somewhat creative I thought that the point-to-shoot area has come to an end. However, it is of course not a cheap investment - especially when you buy the T3i with the 18-135mm lens. So you are perhaps wondering - was it worth the money? And the answer is yes! Even without getting to creative and playing with the variety of manual settings you can make photos in the auto-modes that will make your point-to-shoot camera photos look like photos taken with a cell phone. The colors and focus on specific objects give the photos more dynamics. The different modes allow you to select the right auto-setting for the object you are trying to capture. The screen info on the T3i helps compared to the T2i (my dad has one) when you are new to such camera. Overall I am very satisfied. If you are considering to purchase the T3i, then you should think about getting the 18-135mm lens compared to the 18-55mm lens. Reason being that the 135mm lens gives you more tele and you can zoom more than with the 55mm introduction lens. If you are planning to get a tele-lens anyway and want to go higher up (i.e. 300mm), then the 55mm should do it. However, I know myself and do not want to necessarily change lens depending on the distance of the object and the 135mm seems to be the right fit.
