Fierce competition is expected to start again with the launch of the Canon EOS 1100D digital SLR camera. The battle for market share of entry-level DSLR cameras will continue with a new generation of DSLRs. Not so long ago on, Canon and Nikon were king in the entry-level DSLR market, but competition has awakened. Competition is to be expected, but with the new 1100D Canon seems to believe they will have everything under control. The Canon 1100D builds on the success of it former generations. The result is a powerful DSLR combination with a low price tag.

Salient Features for Canon EOS 1100D

12-megapixel resolution

Step up to DSLR image quality with a 12-megapixel APS-C-sized sensor. A 14-bit DIGIC 4 image processor provides up to 3.2fps continuous shooting and images that are packed with detail and tonal range.

Intuitive, on-screen feature guide

The EOS 1100D’s Feature Guide provides descriptions of many of the camera’s functions, as well as advice on how to use them in your own photography.

Easy to use Scene modes and Basic+

Theme-based Scene modes automatically pick the most suitable exposure, focus and drive-mode settings for the subject being photographed, while Creative Auto mode portrays adjustable functions in an easy to understand way. With Canon’s Basic + technology, the look and feel of these basic auto modes can be fine-tuned according to ambience and lighting type.

HD EOS Movie mode

Shoot stunning HD video at 25 or 30fps, with automatic exposure control leaving you free to concentrate on the action. Footage can be edited on your PC or Mac, or played directly on an HD TV via the camera’s HDMI connection.

ISO 100-6400 sensitivity

Low-light shooting without flash is possible thanks to the EOS 1100D’s ISO 100-6400 sensitivity range. The camera’s 14-bit DIGIC 4 processor helps to control noise and maintain image quality.

Wide-area 9-point AF system

The EOS 1100D focuses quickly and accurately on static and moving subjects, thanks to nine AF points, spread out across the frame. A central cross-type AF point is sensitive to both horizontal and vertical lines.

63-zone iFCL exposure metering

Advanced iFCL exposure metering dissects a scene into 63-zones before analyzing it to find the perfect combination of shutter speed, aperture and ISO.

6.8cm (2.7”), 230,000-dot LCD screen

Compose and review images on a large 230,000-dot LCD screen, which also provides access to the camera’s menu system and Quick Control Screen.
