With an 18MP CMOS (APS-C) sensor and Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor the T3i
captures beautiful, high-res JPEG, RAW, and RAW+JPEG images to your choice of
SD, SDHC or SDXC memory cards. The camera also records full HD .MOV video at
1920 x 1080/30p/24p, among other frame rate options. The wide range of
compatible lenses and the camera's dedicated live view give you the flexibility
you need to create wonderful HD DSLR movies.
No matter what you're recording - still images or vibrant video - the T3i
provides you with a vari-angle 3.0" Clear View LCD monitor that flips-out and is
adjustable at a variety of angles for shooting and review of your subject. The
camera also features an eye-level viewfinder for more precise composition of
shots.
